Dear KMAG: 20240930 Joe Biden Didn’t Win ❀ Open Topic


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:

  1. No food fights.
  2. No running with scissors.
  3. 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 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:

montero

noun

  • huntsman (style of cap)
  • a round Spanish cap, with flaps at the back or sides, once used by hunters
  • (Spanish) a hunter or brush-beater

Shown in a picture

Gotta love classic Hollyweird!


MUSIC!

I obtained the word “montero” randomly, but when I searched on it for music, it came up with a song and album that was foisted on us by the satanists and communists in Hollywood and Nashville, via that horrifyingly creepy “Lil Nas X”. You may remember him.

LINK: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montero_(Call_Me_by_Your_Name)

I am not going to reproduce the blatantly homophilic, pedophilic, and anti-Christian content which is revealed in the Wiki article, but one quickly realizes that this “talent” was created to be pro-pedo (“Lil”), Madonna-style mocking and appropriating (“Nas” and “X”), and generally satanic, in a Travis Scott way.

The fact that “they” would send this guy into country music and even the Super Bowl shows the utter DISDAIN that Hollyweird and their satanic outpost in Nashville actually have for the “country” crowd.

Rather than listen to the toxic music, check out this very positive review of the album. Listen to all the details. The enemy’s moves just spill out one after the other!

The opening face-palm image on the video is rather precious in retrospect.


THE STUFF

This short (1-minute!!!) video is for Gail, and all of us who love the little goats.

The grazing goat problem – SOLVED!

I kinda like listening to this lady, despite the fact that there is also something very annoying about her.

JUST SAYIN’.

And remember…….

Until victory, have faith!

And trust the big plan, too!

And as always….

ENJOY THE SHOW

It’s Melancholy Monday, thanks to Helene.  😥 

cthulhu

Even being a notorious worrywart, I’m actually just concerned about Gail. She is going to be tough.

Her neighbors, OTOH…..

cthulhu

IIRC, she said that she has seen about 30% of her pasture flood in a prior year (adjacent to a neighbor’s property where they built a house).

All her animals who might normally be on that pasture, as well as her neighbors, may be in improvised shelter closer to her house.

Is Gail in the mountainous part?

mollypitcher5

Not sure but I think she mentioned about neighbors near but below her living in a flood plain and she had mentioned how thick the mud was at her place the other day. Praying for them and all their animals

PAVACA

Thank you. I don’t think Gail Combs lives in the mountainous part of NC. However, I think her place has lots of trees, outbuildings, pasture land, etc., that would be badly impacted by Helene’s torrential rains in NC, along with any floodwaters from nearby streams, lakes, etc.

kalbokalbs

My understanding AND a few guesses.

100 acres. 80 acres wooded. 20 acres pasture. Home nearly 1,000′ off paved road.

At least part of Gail’s land fronts on a river. No idea how many feet / yards.

Guessing, hoping I am incorrect, some pasture swamped. Hoping her home not included in swamped.
I’d guess rolling terrain. Wooded higher elevation.

She has mentioned having a generator. If she has gas in cans, that’ll suffice. I’d expect her trucks diesel. Perhaps one gas.

Gail has mentioned a well. Dunno if she also has “city” water.

Given power and communication issues in NC, not too surprising we have not heard from Gail. Perhaps with a few days.

I think she said her house is about 60 feet higher than her pasture.

kalbokalbs

Good to know.

Aubergine

I would say that it is highly likely Gail has no internet access.

My son’s best friend currently lives in Eastern Tennessee. We have intermittent contact by cell phone. He is not even in a flooded area, but it is all around him, and they can’t get out or go anywhere. He has NO internet access, at all. He says radio is spotty. Nothing is working. They have power sometimes, but it continues to go out.

We are all considering investing in Starlink. None of us can really afford the upgrade, but this disaster has illuminated how dependent we are on internet service. My son’s friend is most frustrated by having no idea what is happening around them.

pgroup2

Elon said Starlink would be turned on for cell service.

But a lot of phones don’t have roaming turned on so the phone won’t log in to Starlink network.

Aubergine

I’m sure Elon is doing all he can.

Robert Baker

Starlink is an acceptable internet alternative. The monthly cost is presently $120 but it varies by geographic location. That fee seems to be for 28-30 day access as opposed to calendar month. The bill seems to rotate thru the month instead of being the same day each month. That fee provides unlimited use with no monthly data limit. However, you will still need power to operate the router. My experience has been good with respect to connection, but their customer service is zero and I do mean zero. Surprisingly their web site is rudimentary and not at all what you would expect from a tech company.

Aubergine

That’s weird, Robert. You would think the website would be top-of-the-line.

We have a generator for power outages.

scott467

I just checked, and Starlink is now available in my area.

Years ago I had DirecTV (satellite), and it was a problem for the installer to find a spot for the satellite dish, because the dish had to point at a particular place in the sky, which was fairly low on the horizon (far from being directly overhead), and there were tall trees in the way, just about anywhere the dish could go.

Eventually he found a spot, but the line of sight was so close, that in heavy wind, the tree branches would still interfere with the signal.

Also, snow and ice collecting on the satellite dish was a problem. The dish was mounted on 4-foot pole in the back yard at the far edge of the property line, so it wasn’t a big deal to brush snow off if necessary.

Even if Elon’s Satellites are more directly overhead (so the trees wouldn’t be a problem), how does the receiver do with snow and ice?

If it needs to be cleared in order to work, then it can’t be mounted on the peak of a roof… ’cause I’m not climbing up there, on an icy roof, probably in the dark, in the dead of winter, to clean snow off of it 😂

pgroup2

It’s my understanding that there is a mini ISP from which cell phones/routers connect. Like the original cable TV. Neighbors made up a network but had no access to each other.

Robert Baker

As to snow and ice I don’t think that will be a problem. My dish is on my roof and points almost straight up. I live in Montana at 6000 feet, so we have snow from as early as Oct to the end of May. Not been a problem. Since there are a number of satellites to connect to, you should not have an obstruction problem but an installer can check it out in a couple of minutes to be certain. I have used Starlink since the Fall of 2021. Other than no customer service and no email response from support I have not had any data download problems with the service.

scott467

“I live in Montana at 6000 feet, so we have snow from as early as Oct to the end of May. Not been a problem.”

____________

Interesting… I figured there must be something about Starlink that mitigates the snow/ice problem, because I haven’t heard anyone complain about it, unlike people with regular satellite dishes. Makes me wonder if there isn’t a built-in defroster system.

It looks like the Starlink satellite receiver is fairly small, rectangular and FLAT, unlike typical satellite dishes which are concave.

If snow and ice is not a problem for the Starlink system, you’d think that would be a huge selling point, and plaster it all over their webpage.

Just did a search, multiple videos and articles on the subject… I should have let my fingers do the walking, it’s a snap 😁

Can You Use Starlink in the Snow?
Worried about winter weather interfering with your Starlink service? Don’t be. We spent this past winter relying on SpaceX’s satellite internet, and here’s what we found.

PC Magazine
By Brian Westover
April 6, 2023

“If you’ve got a Starlink dish, or are just considering signing up for the SpaceX satellite internet service, you might be worrying about winter weather, depending on where you live. The dish is exposed to the air, of course.

Will snow affect Starlink’s performance? Can Starlink handle ice and extreme cold? If you’ve ever dealt with a snow-blocked satellite TV dish, it’s an even more acute concern.

I just endured a full-on Idaho winter with my Starlink dish as my primary connection to the outside world.

Verdict: Not only is Starlink ready to handle winter weather, but it stayed stable all winter long.

It turns out that Starlink’s basic equipment is rated to handle nasty weather, and there’s even a Snow Melt Mode that keeps snow and ice from accumulating on the dish.”

Snow and ice is DEFINITELY a problem with the darn dishes. My dad went with the cheapest option, and every time it snows, or we have a good thunderstorm, we lose connection.

Robert Baker

DP, I can’t tell if you are talking about Starlink specifically or experience with other dish providers. All I will say, if your comment is about Starlink, my experience is as described above.

Deplorable Patriot

Some AT&T subsidiary. Frankly, the real AT&T worked better.

pat frederick

the only internet we were able to obtain here in the woods was hughesnet. our dish is mounted on our deck railing and i have to clear the dish of ice or snow or our internet doesn’t work. we have no cable tv out here. we bought a $20 HD antenna when we moved in years ago. we get the major networks but we rarely watch regular tv anyway.

Gail also mentioned that her cell phone lives on the back of her toilet, so we know she has one — but it is likely that she is without service.

cthulhu

And, judging by her constant use of it, it may not even have a data plan.

para59r

Very likely, worry is they might over extend themselves.

cthulhu

Judging by the widespread power, cellphone, and data outages throughout NC (and SC, and GA, and TN), it would probably be prudent to start working up a placeholder post. I’d be super happy to hear a ping from Gail that she was alive but busy — but that’s very different from having a post ready.

TheseTruths

I’m wondering if people know of good places to donate, where the money would really go where it is needed.

GA/FL

Samaritan’s Purse and Salvation Army?

They help in the initial phase – food, showers, clothing, clean up, rebuilding.
When my childhood home burned, Salvation Army gave us furniture from their thrift store.

TheseTruths

I have been leery of Salvation Army since they went woke a few years ago and accused white people of being racist in their training materials. I will check out Samaritan’s Purse.

Aubergine

I sent some money to Samaritan’s Purse. They are great.

Alison

Yes, SamaritansPurse.org Billy Graham – now Franklin and Graham family’s org. You can specify $$$ donation for this disaster relief. Ironically the org is based in NC and was hard hit themselves but they are actively providing supplies and human assistance. Volunteers can work one day or up to 2 weeks at a time.

Barb Meier

Concerned about Gail too. I am fine here on our mountain in Virginia. We have had light rain off/on and much fog here since Helene. It is melancholy. My closing was delayed due to 1/3rd funding delay. The title company called and said the earliest closing is one week later. The next day Helene hit and I am glad I’m not driving a U-Haul towing my car on a trailer this week. God’s will be done and prayers for Gail and all those impacted.

pat frederick

we have been under cloudy, dreary skies for a week! intermittent light rain but nothing much at all. but the constant cloud cover is depressing. we got a little ray of sunshine about an hour ago–and i ran out to the deck to bask in it while it lasted.
demoralizing. that’s the big game that’s being played right now

Seriously, where is the federal response? I know Walz is not part of that, but Commala is.

“Chinee Tim is a governor.”

He sure is. You know what a governor has access to? National Guard, and all kinds of state agencies.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla.—Today, Governor Ron DeSantis announced that Florida is rapidly deploying recovery assistance to North Carolina and Tennessee to help with Hurricane Helene’s impacts in Operation Blue Ridge. This multi-state agency response will include the Florida Division of Emergency Management, Florida State Guard, Florida National Guard, Florida Department of Transportation, Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission, Florida Law Enforcement Coordination Task Force, and a Law Enforcement Strike Team.”

Not sure how prosecutors are going to prove ownership of the property being taken. Larceny requires both proof of item ownership AND proof of lack of authority to salvage said property.

This is why looting should be defined as possession of property in a disaster zone without ID showing local address. A specialized larceny statute.

One person’s experience in Sarasota, FL:

To the guys on the overpass near Sarastoa today, waving the flags, signs, and banners…. thank you so much. You honestly made me tear up. Let me explain….

Thursday night the hurricane hit my house was with 2 feet of water. i wasn’t in the place at the time as I was working on moving to a new location and was down there. But because I was moving, I had boxed up a lot of my life’s possessions and put them downstairs so next week I could move them out. So the 2 feet of water that entered the house destroyed all the “souvenirs” of my life – and likely totaled a very, very nice car that I had there. It was a german work of art. I’ll find out this coming week if it is finished.

I drove back there on Friday, cleaned some… cleaned all day Saturday (back breaking work, moving water logged rugs… don’t forget leg day and back day…) then did some for an 80 year old neighbor in the same situation…. Slept in pain… Then drove back to the new location today… but not until I did more work for me and more for the neighbor.

Finally went to leave … and drove 2 streets over… and the people right on the gulf water… if they had a 1 story house… ALL their belongings are finished. Their area won’t make the news… but they are wiped out.

So after 2 days of back breaking hard work and throwing out posessions I had for decades… memories of my mother, etc… … and seeing people’s live hit so hard… I started tto drive out of the neighborhood. Then I noticed something. SEVERAL of the yards had brand new Trump/Vance signs in them. And they were brand new and shiny, bur also brand new… because they never would have survived the wind from the storm. These Trump lovers, fellow Americans, had just had major damage to their lives… but at their first chance put a damn TRUMP sign out in their front yard. That was great to see.

Finally made to I-75 to head south… and an hour later, thinking of my likely totaled car and temporary change in plans due to storm damage that will need to be addressed….there I saw you. Up ahead on the overpass. Waving the glorious flag of the United States of America and the giant Trump flags.

I was already in a tired emotional state, which in part explains my reaction, but we know he must be elected… and to see people waving the flags… fighting for our country in any way we can… brought a tear to my eye.

It was so uplifting to see you up there… at a time when I needed something like that.

Thank you.

that’s the manipulative ploy used by abusive, malignant sociopaths to bait/trigger/ambush the target/victim into a reaction…

to cause the target/victim to react in such a way that the abuser can then point the finger at the target/victim as being the “abuser”…

the target is being baited & manipulated into a state of reactive abuse.

and, after the sociopath beats the hell outa the target for reacting, the sociopath says…

One way to respond is called “gray rock.” I do it with my daughter, who is sometimes pretty explosive, a lot.

You just make yourself as uninteresting and boring a target as possible, by not responding much at all to any provocation. Over time, the abuser loses interest in tormenting a rock that doesn’t fight back. So goes the theory.

https://health.clevelandclinic.org/grey-rock-method

BUT, if you use the gray rock technique, you are going to have to give YOURSELF plenty of love and attention to deal with your emotions and reactions. This is where the technique fails many people. Because whether you show it externally or not, you are suffering.

For me this is where Jesus comes in. I always envision Jesus standing just behind me with a hand on my shoulder. And when I escape the situation, I have a good cry and a long visit with Him.

smiley2

gray rock is effective, as you say…and it would be in this case, probably…

just as a caveat : if trying to deal with a person with a malignant personality disorder, the abuse is baked into that cake, and never stops..

in fact, it only gets worse, over time.

the abuser literally tries to erase the target thru a constant, intermittent cycle of abuse that invalidates the target’s entire being (emotions, opinions, hopes, dreams, goals, successes etc).

gray rock is effective in diffusing an explosive situation, and providing a means of escape, or a breather while things simmer down…

but it can also backfire by pissing off the abuser who wants a confrontation and to see you tormented…and, if you do not give him/her that reaction, watch out for revenge.

that’s not the type of situation GA/FL is dealing with, I understand that…

but there may be others who have to deal w/ abuse, sometimes.

it’s more prevalent than we might realize.

a lot of ppl, mostly women, suffer in silence and alone.

Sounds like a BD/SM relationship.

smiley2

not usually, not necessarily…

sadism, erotic or otherwise, is in a different realm but it might overlap…and, with SM, the other person is also a willing participant.

emotional/mental/psychological abuse is one of the hallmarks of the Cluster B category of malignant personality disorders.

very hard to prove : no visible bruises or broken bones.

and they get away with it.

many times, the traumatized victims are children.

the trauma that’s inflicted often renders the victim into a “helpless” frame of mind.

and s/he gives up.

that’s where the licensed trained therapist comes in.

as an expert witness, to substantiate the “invisible” trauma caused by the abuse.

if possible.

followed by a strict No Contact boundary esp when the toxic ahole…posing as Dr Jekyll again… tries to hoover its way back into the picture.

it’s a Jekyll/Hyde dynamic where the target becomes the victim, stuck in a trauma bond .

Our side is bombarded with this tactic, and the remarkable thing is how well we have behaved even when “going too far” was so tempting.

Look at the death of Comperatore, a total innocent who was murdered for supporting Trump It was also a provocation to MAGA.

Indiscriminately murdering innocents is the sort of calculated evil malignant actors and governments use to manipulate others.

  :wpds_arrow:  Comperatore’s head exploding was Intentional. Not a stray round.

  :wpds_arrow:  Two heads were supposed to explode that day. Warning to MAGA.

Time for me to tell folks – TOLD YA SO.

I brought this up in BIMD and posted my personal experiences with it in openers a few times in the past – do not trust the Heritage Foundation. It is filled with Neocons and RINO’s running under media cover of conservatives.They tried to kill our industry through W 20 years ago. An industry that financed small businesses employing half of the jobs in America. Some of us patched together the key core Senate leaders who supported small businesses, a few of which who were RINO’s, to stop it and turn it all around. The RINO’s supported because they wanted the political campaign contributions that followed their response.

What they did to us is not a one off. They are snakes.

You don’t have to convince me. I have watched the Heritage Foundation with a side-eye for years. They always seemed “off” to me.

Thanks for asking PAVACA. The regional dams are holding and not in danger. The local one, Douglas, was releasing 435,000 gallons of water through its 10 spillways EVERY SECOND (per TVA). It is now at 60,000 and is expected to do so for weeks. TVA is monitoring and controlling the flow all the way down the Tennessee River system. Things are improving as long as we do not get another sneak attack from that storm in the Caribbean.

Unicoi and Cocke Counties in upper east TN have new river banks formed by debris including concrete chunks from slabs of buildings. Houses and cars have washed downstream and are stacked in piles. Some communities are isolated without access via roads. Cell towers are down in the most affected areas, so communication is an issue. Water is an issue – the water systems are destroyed or contaminated.

Reports from Lake Lure, NC are that the dam did not fail there, it was just overflowing that much. The debris on that lake is mind blowing. Which is the concern with most of the dams that the debris will block spillways.

4 deaths and everybody accounted for in our immediate area. There are still dozens not accounted for in Unicoi.

1,000 people reported unaccounted for in North Carolina county hit hardest by Hurricane Helene

More than 1,000 people have been reported unaccounted for in a devastated North Carolina county where 30 people have already been confirmed dead after Hurricane Helene, officials said Sunday.

Authorities in Buncombe County reported the horrifying toll in an emergency meeting announcing emergency medical shelters and ongoing rescue efforts in areas almost overwhelmed by stormwater.

They also announced a special website to appeal for help finding those unaccounted for — with “more than 1,000 reports so far,” one local official told the live-streamed meeting.

“We’re doing the best we can,” Buncombe County Sheriff Quentin Miller said of conditions making it almost impossible to reach the stranded due to collapsed roads, failing infrastructure and widespread flooding.

Many of the unaccounted for are hoped to just be those without electricity and efforts to let loved ones know they are safe, officials said.

However, the county, home to Asheville, already has 30 of the Tar Heel State’s 36 confirmed deaths — a terrible toll expected to soon rise, Gov. Roy Cooper conceded.

“We know there will be more,” he said Sunday.

Emergency response teams have rescued more than 40 people in the Ashville area, including an infant, thanks to a combination of 911 calls and pleas for help on social media, North Carolina Adjutant General Todd Hunt said.

Critical supplies are being airlifted to stranded communities as crews scramble to clear roads and restore communication lines.

As of Sunday afternoon, Helene has killed at least 89 people and left millions without power since the storm slammed into Florida on Thursday. 

Katie Pate of Fairfax, Virginia, posted a plea for help on X when she lost contact with her parents outside Asheville, North Carolina. This story, however, has a happy ending.

“My dad called to tell me they were getting the generator set up, then after that, he was a ghost,” said Pate. “I was seeing just a steady stream of deterioration in western North Carolina, but all I could do was sit and wait.”

After 24 hours of silence, Pate finally got them on the phone. She learned storm had knocked out power for most of the county, and where the roads weren’t flooded, they were covered in fallen trees. The couple, both 75, loaded a chainsaw into their pickup truck and cut a path to a nearby inn — the only place in town with cell service.

“People don’t realize that even if you can get someone on the phone, you still can’t get to them. Everywhere is cut off,” Pate said. “You have to have a chainsaw to get anywhere. The asphalt in the roads is crumbling. The bridges are collapsing. It’s like a horror movie.”

In Texas, Jessica Drye Turner begged for someone to rescue her family members stranded on their rooftop in Asheville, surrounded by rising flood waters. “They are watching 18 wheelers and cars floating by,” Turner wrote in an urgent Facebook post on Friday.

But in a follow-up message, which became widely circulated on social media on Saturday, Turner said help had not arrived in time to save her parents, both in their 70s, and her six-year-old nephew. The roof had collapsed and the three drowned.

“I cannot convey in words the sorrow, heartbreak and devastation my sisters and I are going through nor imagine the pain before us,” she wrote.

Many of the people will be “found” later. They got the hell out of Dodge. In TN all people have been accounted for at this point with 4 deaths attributed. We had enough notice for people to leave before the Lake Lure, NC dam breach.

SteveInCO · Thermonuclear MAGA

Well, I checked out the YT channel of the woman Wolf called both annoying and someone he liked to listen to (“Up and Atom”). I had seen some of her videos before.

I found this, which directly relates to the conversation I had Saturday with Valerie about why it’s hard to predict future positions of Near Earth Objects. At about 7:55 in there’s even a diagram that depicts the Lagrange points (without labeling them as such), which I believe I touched on in my main post that day.

Valerie Curren

Thx for the interesting share Steve 🙂

SteveInCO · Thermonuclear MAGA

I could have just saved myself a bidenload of typing and pointed to this.

Valerie Curren

Nope…AND logic applies here too. I always appreciate your take & how you give selective detailed attention to the topics of your choice 🙂

SteveInCO · Thermonuclear MAGA

She even described numerical integration, which I’m pretty sure I mentioned.

Valerie Curren

If so I heard or read “integration” & thought calculus & then went into shut down mode LOL

SteveInCO · Thermonuclear MAGA

It IS calculus…down to the bare bones. Instead of fiddling around with an equation and figuring out what equation describes its integral (i.e., the area under the curve when you graph the equation), you literally take little slices, compute their areas, and add them together…a brute force approach if you can’t integrate the formula.

For example, if your formula is y=x…the integral is 1/2x^2. If you want to know the area under the curve between x=1 and x=2, you plug “2” into the integral and get 1/2(2×2) = 2. Then you plug 1 into it (and get 1/2(1×1)= 1/2, and then you subtract, 2-1/2= 1 1/2. Easy peasy. But sometimes you do not *have* that formula for the integral. Many functions, you can’t derive such a formula, despite big long tables of these things in reference books (and now online of course).

So let’s pretend in this case, you don’t know the 1/2x^2 formula, but you still want to know the area under the curve between x=1 and x=2. OK, so you slice it up. Say, 100 slices. So the first slice is from X=1 to X=1.01, the second from X=1.01 to X=1.02, and so on. So: at each slice, evaluate y, then multiply by the width of the slice to get the area. Add them all up. The area of the first slice is 1 (since y = x) times 0.01. The area of the second slice is 1.01 (since y=x) times 0.01. And so on. You add them all together and you do NOT get quite the right answer because your rectangles don’t perfectly fill the space under y=x. You can get closer by making your slices narrower but it’s more work.

The three body problem is a bit trickier because the second slice’s “y” value actually depends on the result of the previous slice (and here we’re slicing time into fractions of a second), and so on. The point is that to do a problem this way requires cranking through a LOT of intermediate solutions, where if it were a closed-form solution you could just go through ONE calculation.

Valerie Curren

TY for this only partially understood response. I believe I’ve told you before that I sort of have a mental block for Calculus, back when I took it a couple times in my 20s…& it hasn’t gotten better in almost 4 decades! LOL 😉

I’m planning to head out of town tomorrow for almost 2 weeks w/ hit or miss internet access so please don’t feel the need to enlighten me more on this issue right now for it’s possible I’ll miss your comment 🙁 trying to get “basic” math into my emptier than it used to be head LOL

I Really Appreciate you trying to make the complex (relatively) understandable.

By the way there is an Amazon Prime show called “3 Body” that is in Chinese but can be watched w/ subtitles (which I do) or possibly dubbing (which I generally hate so avoid). Anyway it’s a fairly interesting sci-fi show that has a lot of science in it. One of the main plot points is that the understanding of physics is wrong, because of some type of alien encounters that reveal things to scientists they’d never contemplated before.

If you have Prime you might want to check it out to see if it’s remotely interesting. The 2 main characters are male, one a scientist, & one some type of cop who is working with the military to solve a series of deaths that appear to be suicides. It’s very different from anything I’ve seen before & I’ve learned to tolerate the sound of Chinese which had been very off-putting since I’ve mostly watched Korean or occasionally Japanese shows w/ subtitles.

putting this up as is so sorry for any errors, etc…

Valerie Curren

Someone on the Q-Tree mentioned Tubi being free & so we looked it up using our PS-4. They have that show “Three-Body” that I recently mentioned to you on that platform for free, fyi.

All those illegal criminals allowed across the border, set up in hotels with credit cards, autos, phones, are Øbama’s imported thug army. 

They are being brought in to create chaos across the USA when they are told to do so.

Being lawless, some are already stealing, raping, killing.

However – these millions – not thousands – will be led by trained provocateurs and violence instigators to start Øbama’s reign of terror as soon as Trump is inaugurated.

The FBI has been attacking patriot groups and civilian resistance non-stop – they even attack and smear parents for objecting to grooming in schools.

We have innocent people jailed for Jan 6 violence committed by FBI trained instigators.

Our law enforcement and intelligence agencies have been corrupted.

Along with the media.

They will try to cut our access to communication, silence us, while they kill and take over our country.

we have people being arrested for praying in front of abortion clinics!

there is nothing violent or criminal in what they were doing. yet rioters can attack police–they’re just expressing their rights. Looters can invade and demolish a store–not a crime. but praying in front of an abortion clinic? you get jail time.

While I agree with your scenario, I need to ask:

is this the results of a bunch of dots [items you already knew] that you connected or just you brainstorming yourself [if it was my objective, this is how I’d do it]?

As long as DJT is sworn in, dealing with the riff-raff won’t be a problem.

All he has to do is put up a toll free number for Americans to call and report the presence of illegal alien invaders, wherever they’re seen, and have local authorities round them up.

House them in detention centers until there are enough to fill a prison bus, then load ’em on and ship ’em to Mexico.

Also, authorize U.S. citizens to proactively defend themselves against any illegal alien invader, and make it clear that no charges will be brought against anyone who uses deadly force to defend themselves.

As for the border, finishing the wall is fine, but put the military on the border with machine guns and snipers every 500 yards (easy range for a sniper), and orders to shoot anyone who appears to be under 5 feet tall who crosses into No Man’s Land.

None of the problems are hard to solve, they’re easy.

What is always lacking is the political-class WILL to implement the obvious solutions.
