Have a good day y’all.
(I don’t remember who brought this to a daily in the comments, but thanks.)
And, of course, the obligatory George Carlin:
Per the Boss:
And now for an old classic:
And now for the obligatory message from our sponsors:
Here at the Q tree we believe in the concept of CIVIL open free speech and the discussion that fleshes out ideas. When commenting and participating in the OPEN discussion on this thread all comments MUST NOT CONTAIN personal threats, baiting, name calling, or other anti-social words fomenting hate, violence or destruction. Our host Wolfm00n has strict rules about that.
Fellow tree dweller, the late Wheatie, gave us some good reminders on the basics of civility in political discourse:
- No food fights.
- No running with scissors.
- If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone
Please, stock up on blanks for celebratory gunfire, be ready to swing from the chandeliers…and no messing with the nuclear weapons.
Please remember to remain locked and loaded and ready for trouble should the insurrectionists try to invade your space.
Those who have things to say that do not fit the generally accepted limits of “civil” discussion, Wolf has provided a venue known as the UTree. You’re welcome to visit over there and say hi to anyone hanging out over there. The “Rescue Thread” is also over there. In the event a rendezvous of the tree is needed, please check it out, as well as the newest rescue venue.
Auntie DePat’s requests:
If you see something has not been posted, do us all a favor, and post it. Please, do not complain that it has not been done yet.
The scroll wheel on your mouse can be your friend. As mature adults, please use it here in the same manner you would in avoiding online porn.
Thank you so much for any and all attention to such details. It is GREATLY appreciated by more than one party here.
One other vital note:
Please, review these rules that our host Wolfm00n outlined toward the beginning of the growth of the tree itself. it won’t take long.

Psalms 34:2-11
1I will bless the LORD at all times; his praise shall continually be in my mouth. 2My soul makes its boast in the LORD; let the afflicted hear and be glad. 3O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together! 4I sought the LORD, and he answered me, and delivered me from all my fears. 5Look to him, and be radiant; so your faces shall never be ashamed. 6This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles. 7The angel of the LORD encamps around those who fear him, and delivers them. 8O taste and see that the LORD is good! Happy is the man who takes refuge in him! 9O fear the LORD, you his saints, for those who fear him have no want! 10The young lions suffer want and hunger; but those who seek the LORD lack no good thing.
One of the best St. Louis Jesuits songs in the repertoire. Most professionals agree. This one may survive the test of time.
As always, prayers for the fight against that which seeks to enslave us are welcome.
Please include: President Donald Trump, the Q team, our soldiers in the field, special forces, tactical units, first responders and those working behind the scenes…and any and all people with family members in the hospital, COVID or not.
And…members of the QTree who no longer participate for one reason or another.
It is quite clear, as per Wolf’s message from July, that we are under spiritual attack. Building up a robust arsenal of prayer and discipline is a must in fighting the enemy and his minions.
In that spirit, the Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel from Tuesday’s threads, and the Breastplate of St. Patrick, not to mention the Litany of Humility are favorites recommended by exorcists in spiritual warfare.

Thank you, De Pat, for staying up into your fridge-trashing time to provide entertainment for the unworthies here.
Oh, and —

That’s not Joe Biden carrying luggage and getting into an Uber. C’mon, man!
Could that be one of Biden’s stand ins?
IIRC that’s an old video, so why bring it up now……..
No one needs to answer that.
My question exactly.
Regarding body doubles and stand-ins:
Yes, super-lifelike masks can be made.
Yes, stand-ins are used by people in power when convenient, when they won’t be engaging with people who know them well.
We have been told, and it is asserted here at least once a week, that there are multiple doubles being used for Biden.
I maintain that it isn’t possible to fool people who know him by substituting a double. I have stated all the difficulties that include height, shape of hands, gait, voice timbre, body of knowledge, and a host of other traits that would give the person away.
The other day, a man who looked way too tall accompanied Jill out of the WH (I think). Assuming that was a stand-in, these things are true:
• The group of people accompaning “Joe” and Jill were in on the substitution.
• No one who knows Biden would have been fooled by that, because ..
• ➡️ We weren’t fooled by it.
Which proves what I’ve been saying all along.
It is not possible to have a stable of body doubles who are functioning as the person, fooling everyone they know. People can detect subtle (and not-so-subtle) differences.
When Biden took a week to prepare for the debate, I wondered if anyone would say they were probably coaching and prepping the double who would be used. But no one surmised about that, and a double was not used.
Since the debate, if there was a group of doppelgangers for Biden, they could have been making public appearances, making speeches, and acting somewhat less debilitated than Biden looks now. They could function as him until his term runs out. Biden didn’t have to get COVID. His stand-ins could have taken over. But that’s not happening because even people who don’t know Biden personally, like us, can tell the difference. And the too-tall guy just proved that.
“….I maintain that it isn’t possible to fool people who know him by substituting a double. I have stated all the difficulties that include height, shape of hands, gait, voice timbre, body of knowledge, and a host of other traits that would give the person away….”
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
I think you are missing the point completely.
For OVER FIVE YEARS not only the DemonRats & Fake News, but the ReBoobs and bureaucrats have HIDDEN BIDEN’S DEMENTIA FROM THE PUBLIC!!!
Therefore “…it isn’t possible to fool people who know him by substituting a double….” IS NOT IN PLAY AT ALL!
The name of the game was to hide Biden’s dementia FROM THE PUBLIC and not from DC at large. After all most of them KNEW he was senile and did not care.
I do not know if a double was used or not but that part of your argument does not pass muster.
As far as the debate goes, the Cabal probably decided Biden was just too ‘DAMAGED politically’ to run against Trump and decided it was time for a switch. What better way than to SHOW the world his poor mental state and then have the Fake News start bashing him.
What I am now seeing is infighting among the Cabal as to WHO they are going to prop up against Trump. The voters of course have ZERO SAY and never have.
No, they haven’t. Many, many people have seen it on both sides of the aisle. They have tried to gaslight the true-believer Dems, and it worked on a lot of them, but the dementia has been very obvious. They did not use body doubles to hide it because they couldn’t.
Briben’s dementia not hidden from anyone believing their lying eyes.
Pravda News, politicians of all flavors, WH staff and others IGNORED Briben’s dementia.
Briben’s dementia has been obvious for years. At least back to 2020.
If all the people around an individual are in on the deception, it doesn’t matter if the stand in is real or not.
And, as one thing I read said, it doesn’t matter if the person is an avatar or not so long as they are continuing to be trotted out for the public
Until all is revealed, or not, it really doesn’t matter.
In public situations the public can see, as we just witnessed, so yes, it matters. And there is no such thing as a “real” stand-in because a stand-in is fake by definition.
It seems odd that something that doesn’t matter keeps getting dripped out here in what looks like an effort to persuade.
And I disagree that it doesn’t matter. The truth matters, not only for the sake of it, but because not knowing or accepting the truth has far-reaching implications. People make decisions and take action based on the knowledge and beliefs that they have. If what they are told is not true, then that has consequences.
BINGO!!!
What an excellent AG!!!
I wish we had one just like him in ALL 50 states!
This!!!
Outstanding. But could we reinstitute an understanding of how to use apostrophes?
There are differing rules about the use of -‘s after a proper noun ending in -s. I don’t think the usage here is incorrect. 😊
https://www.thesaurus.com/e/grammar/whats-the-rule-for-doing-a-possessive-after-the-word-s/
Well … I do. No, I won’t change my mind. 😆
Indeed, pg! My goodness!
No, we all know!
Where is the error? From where I sit, daughter of a grammar nazi who was taught by nuns (so was I) and lifetime certified to teach English, I see no error.
Texas is singular, and the apostrophe is there to indicate the possessive, not plural. Therefore Texas’s is correct.
There are two options and either Texas’s or Texas’ is fine. Author’s choice.
On this one, I don’t agree. This was probably an AP adaptation to save space in wire stories.
DP, I suppose we could go through older written word to discover how an s’ is used.
I remember being taught s’ for nouns that ended in s.
Same. And we see it in books.
true. (I read A LOT)
LOL!!! May God bless you, GC!
Not sure where this became the new LBGT?!
Yet, I am behind the times!
Where is STEVE when we need him?!
If I want the history on language, I go to the Oxford English Dictionary (OED).
I always wanted to own the full set. It’s expensive and several books. They offer an online version.
https://www.oed.com/?tl=true
The OED has an advanced search and they have over 500,000 words.
They used to have a version printed in two volumes, packaged in a slipcase with a magnifying lens. This was for people who wanted to claim they owned it but never actually intended to use it, as the text was microscopic.
There was also, IIRC, a multi-DVD version that would be easier to use. Thing is, new information is added all the time, so you could never know that your citation was definitive.
Oh yes, I remember the 2-volume set with a magnifying lens. I didn’t get that either.
DIA updates their manual periodically but I don’t know how often. We would discuss onlilne in our Community of Interest, agree on a preference, and then one editor kept track of those decisions and updated the style manual. In our 2022 version, they made about 8 pages of changes.
I am not sure which brand it is, but we have an old dictionary 2ft X 1.5ft and over a foot thick that rests on it’s own table in the piano room.
It was nice for when you ran out of other things to read. 😎
(jealous) hehe
Have you seen that Mel Gibson movie about the creation of the Oxford English Dictionary? I enjoyed it a lot 🙂
I never use the AP style, but that’s just me. My minor was Mass Communication, but I don’t think as highly of AP Style as other guides. Style Guides vary; however, I’m a proponent of being consistent whether you zig or zag. It makes for a better deliverable if the usage is consistent even if it is not our personal preference.
The DIA Style Manual offers a couple of pages on apostrophe usage. They have a FOIAed version or perhaps more online. You need to let Acrobat convert the image to readable text on the version at the link below.
https://www.dia.mil/Portals/110/Documents/FOIA/All%20PDFs/DIA-Instructions/DIA_Style_Manual_for_Intelligence_Production.pdf
Yes, the editors there like detail examples and then we would still discuss and disagree sometimes. That’s okay too. I was very glad they allowed us to bring home a paper copy of the DIA Style Manual and I refer to it often. It stays right by my desk.
I also like the Chicago Manual of Style and have had multiple editions of that since it is very popular with tech pubs people. Sometimes one will have an explanation and others won’t have one at all, or not as well targeted at the issue.
There are instances whether the ‘s indicates a contraction or possession. The noun may be singular or plural. I typically go with just the apostrophe after a noun ending in s when I mean possession. I use ‘s if a noun ends in s when I mean a contraction.
Bess’ cow bell.
But as a contraction:
Bess’s a Jersy cow.
Grammarly is one I use since it is online and I can turn it on/off per application.
https://www.grammarly.com/blog/apostrophe/
And for all you grammar lovers, there is Mignon Fogarty, known as Grammar Girl. hehe… the editors at DIA liked her work.
https://www.quickanddirtytips.com/articles/grammar-girl-style-guide/
My bottom line is that authors must own their documents and they have the final word on content. Love the scientists and engineers whose work I’ve got to review.
Just to expand the confusion, there are quotes in standard literary English, and quotes in technical English. Because of where I do most of my writing (e.g. here), I tend to lean heavily on the technical version even where possibly inappropriate.
Literary —
She told me, “I have a reason to believe this is the right way.”
She told me that she had a reason to believe this is the “right way.”
Technical —
She told me to enter “sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade”.
She told me that this was the “right way”.
I do this too, Cthulhu. Often I just want to put the period outside the quotes and may even continue a sentence to avoid the .” versus “. issue, especially if I’m doing a document for someone with strong preferences.
I like that the DIA Style Guide offers a section on Economy of Words. I often write something that is longer than needed by using a short phrase when I could have used an adjective preceding a noun or a different word.
I just asked Hubby (a tech writer & 5th generation newspaper man)
He said Strunk and White Elements of Style uses the XXXs’s while others recommend XXXs’
He was told PICK ONE AND STICK WITH IT through out the document.
I am with you, Gail. BS. Seems to be the Communist change of language.

That’s a great clip WSB–TY!
Hope this lets that tweet show here
Hey to Hubby (tech writer)! I concur. 🤓
Go with Strunk and White. They are the best. Still have that manual.
“Grammarly”
Cannot even see this on line.
Sorry, WSB! I gave a link to a blog page instead of the home page of the site. Hope this works better. At some level, it is free.
https://www.grammarly.com/
Sorry, sweetie. Still not working! We’ll regroup tomorrow AM!
Sounds good!
Oh here’s the link for Chicago Manual of Style.
https://www.chicagomanualofstyle.org/home.html
Before I was an editor at DIA, I used this one a lot and always had my own hardback copy.
Microsoft, Apple, and Adobe all had their own style manuals. I think Dell probably just went with Microsoft’s.
I would not rely on Chicago for anything.
LOL I hear you, WSB. I always thought they must be cloistered away from the rest of Chicago. hehe
PS no reliability on Microsoft, Apple and Adobe either. Dell is Ded.
I liked Apple’s a lot and it was an early style guide. They were also very good at naming GUI objects. Microsoft’s changed the names of GUI objects over time though they are thorough if you’re writing about software running on their OS.
I agree.
No.
This would never be correct.
AND logic 🙂
Apostrophe is never a plural. s’ is the only correct possibility.

Hope he’s got good security.
🙏🙏 for his success for the sake of liberty and freedom!
LOL on that tweet video about ladies’ fake eyelashes 😂😂😂 I cannot believe the vanity crap women/teens fall for and think they look good, especially when it is something uncomfortable.
I wonder if they’re trying to take a page out of Trump’s playbook. He assigns names to people as a form of branding, and it is effective because there is some truth in it. Dems just look like school kids who don’t like someone so they call them names.
I think you’re right.
The problem for Dems is that we have some excellent ways to make it backfire.
We OWN the memes
They have nothing original, just fake all the time.
Which is how Satan does stuff. Smoke, mirrors, deception, lies, etc.
King of Kings vs. the King of Fakes!
Deplorable, irredeemable Hillary is projecting again.
“Irredeemable”!!! LMAO!
So Her Nibs is out with her broad brush again….
Interesting, now the Republicans are weird as well. Used to just be deplorable, so the barrel of epithets has its bottom scraped, and see what emerges.
Weird huh… are we supposed to behave like the guy from «Make Portland Weird» fame, he on the unicycle with bagpipes and flamethrowers, rolling around playing the Star Wars theme? Apparently on a recent trip to Austin, Texas, I saw some posters about promoting weirdness there as well, but that was all.
Now neither of these two cities are exactly known for being Republican strongholds. So this needs more figuring…
Do I have it right that Trump called Kamala “weird” before the mockingbirds all started accusing MAGA of being weird? If so, we should come up with new terms to keep them occupied.
He did, Crazy. 😋
Trump endorsed Hamadeh last December.
Whoa…..and Blake Masters had $$$ and JD Vance’s endorsement.
The stars are aligning.
JD needs to tell DJT he’s sorry.
This was before JDV was selected as VP. No apologies necessary — he’s aligned properly now.
Scott Adams says this so well! 😂
Remember all the names McCain called us – whacko-birds, crazies, and worse?
Remember Hillary calling us deplorables, irredeemables?
Remember “bitter clingers, Russian bots, ignorant hillbillies, monstrous arseholes, gunsplainers, lunatic fringe, white privilege Christians, vulgarians, Crusaders, toothless garbage people, assholes, couch potato anarchists, enemy of the republic, Trump’s noxious base, Trumptards?conspiracy theorists, bunch of randos, virulent people, dregs of society…” – That’s just part of the list of ugly names compiled by Louisiana Mom at Weasel Zippers over the 2015-2016 campaign season from the time Donald and Melania Trump came down that escalator.
REMEMBER – They go from name-calling
to bullying/intimidation
to silencing and censorship
to persecution (getting you fired/lawsuits)
to imprisonment without a trial (J6 patriots)
to violence and murder without any shame or conscience.
To them – their ideology, power and money are what matters most…and oh yeah, sexual gratification of any kind, including child p0rn, molestation and r4pe.
They are now calling JD Vance weird because he is defending traditional values and children and families – and that threatens their sexual agenda which is their true first priority.
Kamalalala is weird.
I think I would go with Kamalalaladingdong.
In California! Not only CA but san francisco.
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13691479/California-dad-granted-custody-four-year-old-son-boys-mom-tried-raise-child-non-binary.html
A California dad has been granted full custody of his now four-year-old son after the boy’s mother tried to raise him non-binary and forced him to wear dresses and make up.
Harrison Tinsley announced his victory in the years-long legal battle with his ex-girlfriend to gain full custody of his son, Sawyer, in an update on his online fundraiser for legal fees on July 18.
The father-of-one described how he felt like he was ‘watching a miracle’ when he found out he would be the boy’s full-time caregiver.
‘It definitely is a pretty wonderful feeling to fight for something so hard and to actually achieve it,’ Tinsley told The Daily Signal.
‘It was extremely favorable for Sawyer and me,’ he said in the recent podcast with The Daily Signal. ‘And I’m just so grateful that CPS and San Francisco, California put politics aside and did what they felt was best for the child.
‘It was divine that I got the CPS worker I did and they really did their job – they did not care about politics,’ he added, noting that he believes the mother’s mental health issues and the ‘scary situations’ they caused contributed to the CPS recommendation.
‘It’s sad, though, that it had to get so severe,’ Tinsley said, arguing that he believes anyone who pushes gender ideology on young children ‘have to have some underlying serious mental health issues.
‘It’s madness,’ Tinsley said. ‘Kids don’t care about sex or identity or all these fake, weird concepts. They just care about having fun and getting to spend time with their parents – and it’s insane that we’re even considering this as a possibility to talk to children with.’
Parents who push gender dysphoria on children are the worst. The child should be removed from their care immediately. Well done, dad and judiciary.
Parents who push gender dysphoria on their children have Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy.
That’s what it is, and how is should always be referred to. It’s a severe, damaging, mental illness, with VICTIMS. It’s not ok. It’s no safer for a MSP parent to raise children than it is for a schizophrenic to raise them. Period. There’s got to be a line somewhere.
Reminds me of being stoned out of one’s mind yet trying to appear sober. Remember lots of guys doing this, to the point where the few who didn’t try to fake sobriety seemed weird and out of place.
Yes. The mother mustve been very insane for san fran to say no to her. The dad needs to move to a conservative county or leave CA now.
That is fantastic news!
Rowe is an abomination.
Dan has a high-level source telling him about denials of requests from Trump’s SS for more help.
He says he will out the source if they don’t go public. He gave them until next week.
Dan is pissed.

John Cullen sees evidence from witnesses, videos, sound analysis, distance measurements, etc. that there were as many as 5 shooters that day, likely coordinated with each other by cell phone.
https://rumble.com/v58lwxh-coffee-and-a-mike-john-cullen-possibility-of-4-shooters-at-trump-rally.html
This while the Senator John Kennedy and FBI try to nail down the idea in the public’s mind that Crooks was the lone shooter.
Have yet to see anyone anywhere address the question: where was Trump’s private security?
WHO was PT’s private security? Were they inhibited?
1) It was my understanding based on reading throughout the years that VSG not only had private security, but top notch private security. I do not remember the details, just the general idea. Somehow this was firmly lodged in my memory.
2) At the Trump rally last Saturday I talked to a guy who had been to over a dozen rallies, including Butler which is a couple hours from here. He told me that Trump’s private security was evident and active at all previous rallies, but at Butler were a no show. I cannot vouch for him other than to say he seemed credible to me, and he was a Trump supporter so presumably an honest person.
3) I did not closely question him, and do wonder how a rally goer identifies private security.
4) I asked him if he knew why they were not there, and he said he did not know, but was confident they had been somehow misdirected.
5) What disturbs me is why Trump would not have private security, at least to check up on the official security. I do not trust official security an iota, and presume they are infiltrated with bad actors.
6) It is categorically implausible to me that Trump trusts his official security. If he does, we are in bigger peril than the immense peril I believe we are in.
Eric Prince was saying that the logistics of coordinating Private and Secret Service is a MAJOR headache. Also Private will ALWAYS GET THE BLAME when things go wrong.
I have ZERO idea of why Trump did not have Private Security with him that day.
I wonder if the Mar A Logo raid may have had anything to do with it.
I can imagine that the officials would try to be an obstacle to the privates.
But think about Butler.
The privates would have been aware of the unguarded roof, and maybe even the citizen alarm over the shooter so many people pointed out.
Unlike the officials, the privates would have had communication with some friendly who could have warned Trump not to go on.
I do not think these things are apparent with the help of hindsight. They were basic redundancies which could have been done without the officials. They would have been done with the idea that the officials could not be trusted.
People have said that drones can be easily jammed. But will the officials jam drones, or will “mistakes” be made, and the equipment “fail”? Can redundant jamming be done?
And to the extent that official interference exists, the situation can be brought to Trump’s attention, and the proper decisions made.
I have voiced my concerns over time. I try to say things in a way which is not alarmist or defeatist. But they intend to murder Trump, and almost did, even with people like Tucker saying they would.
They will not stop. And it is very, very difficult to see how they cannot succeed. Especially so if Trump does not take private steps to defend himself.
At this point I think he will have a lot of ‘unofficial’ protection.
Think Bikers for Trump. Also a LOT of veterans with 20 to 30 years are either retired or semi retired. THEY know what is at stake and will be a lot more vigilant.
Butler was their Last Best Hope as Erik Prince pointed out. As an official candidate he is NOW entitled to a lot more protection. Erik also said the BEST use of private contractors is for SNIPERS to case the place for where THEY would set up. They have a lot different mindset compared to a protection detail. However his biggest worry was a swarm of drones or a swarm of snipers.
I think the dude on the left is Hispanic.

Somebody needs to learn about subjects and predicates.
AND SHORT SENTENCES!
OK I am really bad about run-on sentences, but I do try to go back and chop them up!
That’s because you care. 🙂
As long as that first sentence is, it’s not complete. “Did you know that…” introduces a run-on subordinate clause with no verb in it, just a list of facts.
maybe it’s the new meme misspelling trend 😉

Oh, but, AI is good. It will never harm humanity. Trust them.
😂
I trust my riot gun. So there’s that.
My husband & my father were both Eagle Scouts, Michael also attaining “Order of the Arrow”. I witnessed the power of this Eagle Scout identity a few years back. We’d stopped at a Michigan rest area on a holiday weekend heading Up North. Local volunteers manned tents w/ complimentary beverages & snacks. We struck up a conversation with an older gentleman there & somehow found out he & Hubby were both Eagle Scouts. Apparently this man was also a member of the first Super Bowl championship team, showing us his ring in the course of the conversation. At the end these men exchanged contact information with the Super Bowl victor claiming if Michael ever needed Anything to reach out to his fellow Eagle Scout, which was amazing to me!
Anyway, this article makes me sad. Scouting had a huge shaping influence on both my dad & my husband. For Michael, whose parents divorced when he was about 5, scouting provided much needed male leadership & several crucial father figures to help shape his youth & steer his path. For my dad, his own dad got involved in a very lively Detroit Troop & made himself available for the many activities (something he rarely did being the proprietor of his own business) & even though it was filled with city boys taught them so many necessary skills & traits of manhood & outdoor living. Two things that were quite meaningful were the building of a log cabin by hand on someone’s property outside of the City. They also built a fire tower by lashing. Oh & Dad’s “One Step From Death” trip to Isle Royal was with the scouts–I thought I wrote about that here: https://www.theqtree.com/2022/11/11/leftys-view-of-wwii-by-wild-bill/ but it must have been elsewhere. When my dad turned 50 I flew home for the celebration & saw his old scoutmaster, who I knew from the church of my childhood, present my father with his Troop (scrap) Book w/ all sorts of news clippings & memorabilia from that storied troop…
Much is being distorted, destroyed, & lost by these insane maneuvers, tragically…

The Boy Scouts of America has a Chief Diversity Officer & Vice President of Diversity and Inclusion. The organization requires all Eagle Scouts to earn a badge in diversity, equity, and inclusion. It admitted girls to its program for 11- to 17-year-old boys in 2019 and changed the name of that program from the Boy Scouts to Scouts BSA. The word “boy” has been routed from the organization’s promotional materials and replaced with “youth,” as in: “For more than 100 years, Scouting programs have instilled in youth the values found in the Scout Oath.”
The DEI apparatus is the antithesis of the original Scouting ethic. Scouts are supposed to focus outward, not on themselves, and especially not on au courant diversity characteristics. They are supposed to be dedicated to universal ideals, not to identitarian commitments. They are supposed to be honest, which means not pretending that, without affinity groups and “allyship,” the Boy Scouts of America would be a cauldron of exclusion and contempt. They are supposed to be color-blind, not exquisitely attuned to racial identity. They are supposed to be patriotic, not predisposed to think that the Scouts and America itself struggle to make every person “feel respected and valued,” in the words of the Scouts’ DEI mission statement. They are supposed to be volunteer-driven, not encumbered by superfluous bureaucracy. It would have astonished Baden-Powell and his North American comrades to learn that Eagle Scouts were spending time with the minutiae of progressive identity politics, rather than learning about nature and self-discipline.
By some accounts, getting rid of “boy” was less about attracting a larger female component than about drawing a larger LGBTQ component. The ubiquitous Sydney Ireland told PBS that this latest name change is “going to benefit everyone, including young men, young women, nonbinary people.” Scout CEO Roger Krone claimed to the Associated Press that the name change sends the message that “everyone . . . can bring their authentic self” and be welcomed. The language of “authenticity” is associated with novel issues of gender identity more than with being female. But in any case, the historical Scouts were not about affirming a navel-gazing self, “authentic” or otherwise; they were about equipping an otherwise puny self with a timeless, expansive code of selfless values.
The Girl Scouts will never give up the word “girl” in the name of inclusivity; nor will it end its all-girl membership rules. Only men are called upon to cancel their presence and their traditions. With the final erasure of “boy” from Boy Scouts of America, the progressive war on American institutions notches another victory. We are all the casualties.

Verse of the Day for Wednesday, July 31, 2024
✟
“And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.”
Psalms 50:15 (KJV)
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.
BE MY VOICE
JESUS LOVES THE LITTLE CHILDREN
CHILD NOT CHOICE
PLEASE PRAY FOR ONE ANOTHER
DELIVER US LORD
As children of God we have been set free
In His Word He declares how that can be
God desires His people to have freedom
Oppression enslavement we don’t need ’em
Seven times He directed an escape out
From His prophet He declared with a shout
Let My people go right now He ordered
But His commands were ignored and cornered
When He was despised a plan He devised
His prophet would decree as He advised
But no matter what plagued the oppressors
They continued to be the aggressors
Until the day He removed the most prized
Of the leader so stubborn and unwise
Deliverance from enslavement you see
Will occur in this year of Jubilee
Not by the hand of man will this happen
But by the hand of God it will snap in
The power of God is second to none
The only source thru which it will be done
Because we believe Jesus had the pull
The price of our freedom was paid in full
The glory of the latter will be greater
And we will be free from the agitator
Deliver us Lord from four hundred years
Of discord and incalculable tears
Restore us with blessings You had planned
Before evil came in and stole our land

Sen. Mike Lee Introduces Act to Simplify Firearm Suppressor Purchase Rules
https://www.breitbart.com/2nd-amendment/2024/07/30/sen-mike-lee-introduces-act-to-simplify-firearm-suppressor-purchase-rules/
Important for those that don’t want to wake up in the middle of night and look for ear plugs before shooting bad guys. Hearing is important & Seconds count! 😁
Absolutely.
My comment was referring to whatever paperwork gets easier.
IMO, ALL of the paperwork should be canceled. Suppressor is simply another sale. Nothing more. Nothing less.
If you put the insane into mental institutions then ALL the fire arms paperwork goes away.
AND many/most of the leftie loons!
I’d go even farther.
I know of nothing else in the Constitution that says “shall not be infringed”. To me, “infringed” means “any government restriction altogether”. No forms, no licenses, no restrictions at all — I’d go so far as to say that arms (guns and ammo, swords and armor) should be exempt from sales tax.
Absolutely.
LOVE!!!
There is, one amendment earlier, “Congress shall make no law…”
But strictly speaking that can be read as ONLY restricting the federal government. Later covered by the 14th amendment.
“Shall not be infringed” does not have such restrictive phrasing and could arguably have been read as applying to every level of government (though it was not, until recently, again due to the 14th amendment).
Seems to me that any & all paperwork pertaining to guns is unconstitutional & therefore illegal. Shall not be abridged!
abridgedInfringedThx for the correction Rayzor!!!
It seems to me that Tucker has a strategy on his podcast to give prominent politicians and celebrities a longform platform to air and explain their views. The philosophical bent and strategy of the mainstream media never affords them the opportunity to state their conservative ideas and goals. I consider this of immense importance and value to our citizens. Tucker should be commended and supported in this effort. Because of Tucker’s two hour interview with Senator Lee yesterday I have a better appreciation of the Senator’s integrity and character. I can say the same for the interview with Rep. Massie from Kentucky. Federal politicians get away with so much corrupt behavior because most Americans have no idea what they are doing. Tucker’s interviews give us a window into what is really going on. In my view, this is far superior to whatever comes out of Congressional hearings.
Great comment, Robert, and spot on.

Then I hope the Son of a Syphilitic Camel gets convicted of PREMEDITATED MURDER!
(And Yeah, Pgroup, I know it would be considered ‘manslaughter’ but in my view it is PREMEDITATE aka KNOWINGLY….)
Depraved indifference is actually murder, and this is depraved indifference.
2nd degree murder.
100% & the demons who decided to allow this need to be convicted as accessories!
