Dear KMAG: 20241118 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:

volacious

adjective

able, apt or fit to fly

Shown in a picture

Used in a sentence

It’s not a question of whether or not to toss the toxic dwarf into GITMO – the question is whether he is sufficiently volacious to make it there intact without bubble wrap.


MUSIC!

Speaking of volcano sacrifices, as a belated Halloween offering, and with EPIC musical character beloved by Wheatie, we bring you this little number…..

And now for…..


THE STUFF

Thank you, Elon! You did it!

SO, in honor of Senator “Lurch” Thune, we have this!

And if that’s not enough Lurch, here’s more than you can handle!

Just sayin’!

And remember…….

Until victory, have faith!

And trust the big plan, too!

And as always….

ENJOY THE SHOW

Exactly correct. Great assessment.

Good article.

And SecDef Hegseth will fix recruiting by making the military a destination for Americans who want to serve their country as warriors rather than as guinea pigs in a petri dish of San Franciscan social pathologies.

Forget that, how about the Texas restaurant that only serves STEAK! 1 pound, 2 pound or 3 pound. Your choice of cut.

I think it was the Big Texan Stake Ranch, but it was 4 decades ago that I visited.

kalbokalbs

Big Texan, Amarillo, TX. Along I-40, northside

These days, full menu. Including, Free 72 ounce steak.

  • 60 minutes to eat the steak, shrimp, baked potato, salad and dinner roll.
  • $85 for the goof, who doesn’t meet the challenge.

If the steak is of good enough quality, it might well be worth failing and paying the $85

It was EXCELLENT!!!

The best I have ever had.

Hilltop in MA is the only steak house that comes close.

SteveInCO · Thermonuclear MAGA

I would have to see if at some point they’d be willing to sell me just the steak, outright, for the $85. (Oh, the shrimp and salad too.) Skip the potato and dinner roll.

They should be willing to do that; their costs are lower and there’s zero risk to them.

Gail Combs

I just cooked up hamburgers with onion and cheese. YUM! (93% organic 😜even!)

In a couple of days, President-for-life Volodomyr will get a phone call. He will be told that he will be deposed and tried as a war criminal if he uses those weapons.

Brave and Free

Just trying to cover his a**, for being such an a**.

para59r

So big question since we know the ATACMS are already in Ukraine and it takes the US Military to guide the weapons to the target . At what point after Biden’s announcement to allow the American Military to fly these weapon systems into Russia will Biden consider he has received tacit consent from Congress to declare war on Russia? Is it days?
weeks? a month? Is tacit consent even a thing for declaring war?

It’s not just Biden that is going to be held responsible should we start to see US military bases in Europe come under direct fire. Congress too, since they know how these weapons work. Where is the resolution forbidding Biden from going to war with Russia?

Right now it looks like the only person taking action against this is President Trump by declaring he’s going establish military commissions to look into the debacle of Afghanistan and hold officers responsible for their part in that disaster. The officers up and down the chain of command in both Europe and the Pentagon should know they too are going to come under the same kind of heavy scrutiny for going to war with Russia without Congressional Approval, tacit consent or not.

I was just a kid in 1978 when YMCA came out. I loved the Village People and had no idea they were “gay.” I didn’t know what gay was at age 14.

That innocence ignorance of the underbelly of the world needs to make a comeback. And this is a start. Nobody CARES that the song is about gays. They just want to dance and have fun.

The underbelly needs to be eradicated by sheepdog alpha males on a mission. The rest of us need to remain unaware of it, for the most part. That’s how it was when the U.S. was good.

President Trump Announces FCC Commissioner Brendan CarrNovember 17, 2024

SD: “Brendan Carr has been the censorship buster, investigating Newsguard, Facebook and social media censors directly. Today President Trump announces that Brendan Carr will be moved to the FCC Commissioner’s Chair.

DJT: “I first nominated Commissioner Carr to the FCC in 2017, and he has been confirmed unanimously by the United States Senate three times. His current term runs through 2029 and, because of his great work, I will now be designating him as permanent Chairman.”

Link to Twitter post by Brendan Carr:

“Facebook, Google, Apple, Microsoft & others have played central roles in the censorship cartel,” Carr captioned a letter to CEOs Tim Cook of Apple, Satya Nadella of Microsoft, Mark Zuckerberg of Meta and Google parent company Alphabet’s Sundar Pichai shared on X.

“The Orwellian named NewsGuard along with ‘fact checking’ groups & ad agencies helped enforce one-sided narratives. The censorship cartel must be dismantled.”

According to the article I just posted, they are all pure as the driven snow. They were just doing their jobs, and they went through the proper channels. Trump is a bully who just wants revenge.

TheseTruths

https://www.yahoo.com/news/doj-fbi-officials-reach-lawyers-120000487.html

Multiple current and former senior Justice Department and FBI officials have begun reaching out to lawyers in anticipation of being criminally investigated by the Trump administration, according to three people with knowledge of their deliberations.

Following Trump’s decisive election victory, many Justice Department officials and career staffers were already nervous about the possibility that they would be targeted by Trump loyalists, particularly members of Congress. But the selection of former Rep. Matt Gaetz, a firebrand Trump ally who was the subject of a recent FBI investigation, to lead the department has sharply increased the sense of alarm, the sources said.

“Everything we did was aboveboard,” said a former senior FBI official who has started contacting lawyers because he expects to be prosecuted himself. “But this is a different world.”

The official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity out of fear of becoming even more of a target, doesn’t believe any attempt to prosecute him will be successful. Judges and juries have the power to throw out cases or find defendants innocent if they deem prosecutions to be baseless.

But like many other current and former Justice Department officials, he is bracing for a potentially long and costly legal battle, as well as the possibility of protracted congressional investigations, after Trump takes office in January.

⬆️ Exactly what they put Trump through.

Career FBI employees are especially vulnerable, the official added. Since they make less money than they would in the private sector, they rely on the pensions they receive after 20 years.

“Agents have to do 20 years,” the former senior FBI official said. “These people don’t have options.”

…Trump and his supporters have consistently argued that all of the criminal investigations against him have been politically motivated, and that Justice Department and FBI officials deserve to be prosecuted…

Shock inside the DOJ

Justice Department officials, including Attorney General Merrick Garland, were shocked by Trump’s decisive election win. For the last four years, Garland has argued that strictly following post-Watergate norms that require the Justice Department to work in a nonpartisan manner in criminal investigations would restore public trust in the Justice Department.

LOL.

Instead, some career Justice Department officials wept after the election, dismayed by the fact that large numbers of Americans apparently continue to believe Trump’s claims that the department is a cesspool of corruption.

Justice Department and FBI officials say that the Trump investigations were carried out properly. Justice Department prosecutors secured indictments from federal grand juries against Trump for his mishandling of classified documents and his efforts to reverse the 2020 election results.

They expressed bafflement at what criminal charge could be brought against them as a result. “There’s no crime,” said a current law enforcement official. “What’s the crime?”

They are leaches that draw value and wealth from others to survive.

But people aren’t economic consumers – they are PRODUCERS!

Pack Up, Bureaucrats: Vivek Ramaswamy Reveals How Trump With Help from DOGE Will Abolish ENTIRE GOVERNMENT AGENCIES and Crush the Administrative State (VIDEO)
Transcript:

NEW: Vivek Ramaswamy – who is co-leading the Dept. of Govt. Efficiency – just perfectly laid out how Trump can use swift, executive power to demolish the bureaucratic state.

RAMASWAMY: First, we want to go right through executive action to do the failures of the executive branch that need to be addressed.

The dirty little secret is the people who we elect to run the government, they’re not the ones who actually run the government. It’s the unelected bureaucrats in the administrative state.

That was created through executive action. It’s gonna be fixed through executive action.

Think about the Supreme Court’s environment over the past several years. They have held that many of those regulations are unconstitutional.

Rescind those regulations, and then that gives us the industrial logic to then downsize the size of that administrative state. That can be achieved without Congress.

Score some early wins. Then you look at those bigger portions of the federal budget that need to be addressed one-by-one.

How can the president of the United States, who’s been elected with a historic mandate, actually DO the things that voters voted for?

They haven’t voted for incremental change. We have voted for sweeping change, and the voters actually deserve to get it.

And we’re focused on how to do that as early and as quickly as possible.

scott467

“And we’re focused on how to do that as early and as quickly as possible.”

kalbokalbs

Two actions come to mind. Acting, which I don’t think has a time limit.

Recess appointments in effect until Congress ends. I spose up to two years.

If wrong, this will be corrected.

Gail Combs

..How Long Does a Recess Appointment Last?

A recess appointment expires at the sine die adjournment of the Senate’s “next session.”

Where the President has made a recess appointment between sessions of the same or successive Congresses, this appointment has expired at the end of the session that next convened. Where he has made the appointment during an intrasession recess, however, the duration of the appointment has included the rest of the session in progress plus the full length of the session that followed. At any point in a year, as a result, by making a recess appointment during an intrasession recess, a President could fill a position not just for the rest of that year, but until near the end of the following year. In practice, this has meant that a recess appointment could last for almost two years….

What Is a “Recess”?

Generally, a recess is a break in House or Senate proceedings.11 Neither chamber may take a break of more than three days without the consent of the other.12 Such consent is usually provided through a concurrent resolution. A recess within a session is referred to as an intrasession recess. In recent decades, Congress has typically had 5-11 intrasession recesses of more than three days, usually in conjunction with national holidays.13 The break between the sine die adjournment of one session and the convening of the next is referred to as an intersession recess. In recent decades, each Congress has consisted of two 9-12 month sessions separated by an intersession recess. The period between the second session of one Congress and the first session of the following Congress is also an intersession recess.

Also see: ArtII.S2.C3.1 Overview of Recess Appointments Clause

“Acting” that rings a bell, I think it is for a limited time as I seem to remember people posting that it could be kept going by swapping different people in as each one timed out.

I don’t think Trump would sacrifice a loyal friend like Gaetz this way. Not unless Gaetz was ready to quit government and go back to the private sector, or unless Trump has another place for him in mind that doesn’t require confirmation.

I think Mike Johnson is going to force recess appointments, and point back to the precedents of every other former President. Just my humble opinion.

You are quite insightful.

Aubergine

Thanks! I just think I get President Trump. People say he requires loyalty, which is true, but that’s because HE is so loyal. Turn about is fair play.

The Recess Appointments gambit IMO is going to be leverage on the Senate that will force them to take action on record.

Senate is going to be very uncomfortable.

I agree. And I hope they are.

SteveInCO · Thermonuclear MAGA

Apparently Gaetz is far and away the most objectionable appointment so far.

I can see them offering quick confirmations of everyone else in return for he drops Gaetz.

cthulhu

Shock-and-Awe…..he’s going to drop so many nominees into the Senate on Day 1 that they’ll have to confirm most or do nothing else for a year. Then they’ll settle back to masticate Gaetz and he’ll do 7-month appointments until he can get in a 2-year appointment.

In the meantime, Gaetz will have a full stable of MAGA underlings.

This was a loyalty test, plain and simple.

I don’t believe that. Gaetz has resigned from the House. It might be said that he had a “guaranteed” Senate seat if DeSantis appointed him to Marco Rubio’s seat, but IMO there are too many “ifs.”

People forget that Trump plays chess. He can accomplish more than one goal with a single action. I think that’s what he’s doing here. He’s appointing Gaetz AND seeing who is loyal.

Valerie Curren

aka BHO made it “legal” to propagandize Americans, iirc. That needs to be undone ASAP!

I’m in favor of privatizing NPR and PBS.

It seems like a more moderate option than simply defunding them.

Really, it saddles the leftist foundations with funding them!

Less money they can spend doing their normal BS

cthulhu

Cutting them off from the government teat is the more moderate option. They can continue to do anything they please with the funds they collect elsewhere.

Valerie Curren

That makes good sense 🙂

I used to be a feminist. I have a theory. Feminism preys on people who come from broken homes and then steps in as their abuser. It teaches women that if they think for themselves, or disagree with anything the leader says, that said follower will be ostracized. What led me to have one foot out the door during my feminist years was their constant criticism of Christianity. I didn’t grow up in a peaches and cream home — but God is what kept me afloat. Their narrative as “God equals abuse” was twisted, and something I would never concede to.

I officially dropped feminism by 2016 when the world went insane but openly dropped it by 2020. It took a long time to openly out myself as a non feminist. This is how cults work.

In retrospect, the common pattern I see is that these young women (likely) come from broken homes, they leave abusive childhoods, and then find a new abuser — Feminism. This was definitely my story. And I truly believe this is likely most of these women’s stories.

I feel sorry for these women. They are being misled by a group of abusive women who are extracting from their childhood pain/trauma.

This doesn’t remove responsibility and accountability. They are adults. And I had my head on straight enough to know that I wasn’t going to scream into social media with a piercing through my face and yell about men.

I actually didn’t hate men. Never have. And now I’m happily married 🙂 And very Catholic .. but that’s another story 🙂

Just my two cents. These women need … a hug … to say the least.

True. Keep in mind that a straight jacket is a hug that never stops.

Read that as a metaphor for feminism commitment as well as literal.

Priceless!

I used to have to help hold down my autistic son for procedures. The pediatric dentist actually had what was like a velcro’d body sleeve where you’d wrap the kid up like a burrito so the arms couldn’t move & mostly just the feet could wiggle around. This way whatever needed to be done could be addressed without too much motion. I’d have the kid laying across my lap & would hold their head steady.

Ironically in Sensory Integration Therapy they actually had a procedure that they sometimes called taco or burrito where they’d roll the kid up in a thick fabric (I think for I never directly observed it) & lean their body weight down on the child. This “deep pressure” actually had a calming effect on the sensory overloaded autistic kid.

The ENT had to periodically work on my son’s ears & they didn’t have such a “sleeve” that I ever saw. I’d sit in the procedure chair, kind of like an old school dental chair, with my son on my lap. I’d wrap my legs around his & my one arm would pin his arms & torso to me. My other arm was used to strategically position his head so the doctor could access the ear. It was exhausting work as he’d yell & fight me the entire time.

A straightjacket Might have been more “merciful” in both scenarios, maybe for Both of Us LOL  😮

The story of Matt Gaetz’s supposedly Sex trafficking allegation is actually for more sinister than the involvement of the guy at the heart of this story.
Yes, the FIB is involved through this guy Ames who supposedly wrote the document that was used as a proof that the Proud Boys were involved with an insurrection on J6 and for which they were convicted and sentenced.

https://twitter.com/ms_haleyjane/status/1858316605047836875
https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1858316605047836875.html

Some interesting details about the case involving former Seminole County Tax Collector Joel Greenberg—from whom the allegations against Matt Gaetz originated:

Greenberg, now serving an 11-year sentence for various public corruption crimes, facilitated part of his embezzlement scheme through Government Blockchain Systems, LLC, a company he co-founded in July 2019 with then-22-year-old Samuel Armes.

Armes had recently graduated from FSU, where he participated in a training program that included a stint in Jerusalem to learn Arabic so he could “maybe be an informant” in the Middle East. He described the program as having “groomed” him for intelligence roles with agencies like the CIA or FBI—a background he attributes to his involvement in cryptocurrency. The program aimed to prepare him to “become a member of the Feds” upon graduation, which is when he reportedly first met and became involved with Greenberg in 2018.

Shortly after, in early 2019, Greenberg hired Armes to set up a bitcoin operation at the Seminole County Tax Office—a venture that later became part of Greenberg’s legal troubles. This operation, in part, contributed to the criminal charges against Greenberg and, by extension, the allegations against Gaetz.

These allegations, originating from Greenberg—who is known for his pattern of making fraudulent claims—came as part of his bid to secure a reduced prison sentence.

Here is Armes discussing how he was “groomed” for intelligence roles before his involvement with Greenberg:

https://twitter.com/i/status/1858316605047836875

The Greenberg case, however, isn’t the only one Armes is tied to with the potential for significant political fallout, particularly targeting those in the MAGA sphere.

In the January 6 Seditious Conspiracy case against the Proud Boys, Armes was the author of what later became known as the “1776 Returns” document. Prosecutors used the document to bolster their claims of the conspiracy’s existence—despite lacking evidence that any of the defendants had ever read or even opened it.

Armes later told the January 6 committee that he drafted the document as a result of his background at USF, where he participated in numerous “wargaming exercises.” According to Armes, this training, along with inspiration from a separate August 2020 publication by the Transition Integrity Project, led him to “tinker with a Google document,” envisioning what could happen in a “worst-case scenario.”

Armes then shared the document with Erika Flores, described as an “interested friend” and “ally from the cryptocurrency world,” who then sent it to Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio.

While Armes denies any further involvement with the document after passing it to Flores—claiming she “took [his] ideas as an inspiration, and her or some group of people then turned it into ‘1776 Returns’”—Flores testified to the January 6 committee that Armes was the sole author of “1776 Returns” and had asked her to send it to Tarrio.

Neither Armes nor Flores have faced criminal charges related to January 6.

………

Armes has also not been charged in connection with the Greenberg case. Court documents do not explicitly name him but reference “the other individual” who, alongside Greenberg, managed the blockchain company through which part of Greenberg’s criminal activities were conducted. The documents describe this individual’s involvement as “short-lived,” ending after a September 2019 Orlando Sentinel article about Government Blockchain Systems, the entity Greenberg co-founded with Armes in July 2019.

“In response to that publicity, [Armes] was removed from the entity.”

Wonder why.

Mollie Hemmingway of the Federalist has more about this story
House Gaetz Probe Relies On Witnesses DOJ Found Not Credible

…..

A John With a History of False Sex Smears

The two witnesses have massive credibility problems. The claims arose from Joel Greenberg, “one of the most corrupt Florida politicians of all time,” according to Florida reporter Marc Caputo, who is now with the anti-Trump media outlet The Bulwark.

Among many things the former Seminole County tax collector admitted to as part of a wide-ranging case for which he is currently serving 11 years in prison was falsely accusing local political opponent Brian Beute of having sex with a minor, similar to the outlandish claim he made against Gaetz. Greenberg also reportedly later attempted to frame his own attorney with pornographic images of children. One New York Times writeup of Greenberg was headlined, “Like the Tiger King Got Elected Tax Collector.“

………

The lawsuit shows that Greenberg “became insistent” that Gaetz help him obtain a pardon for his various crimes. When he was repeatedly told that wouldn’t happen, Greenberg reportedly said he would seek vengeance on those who refused to help him during his time of need.

It was at this point that Greenberg began claiming without evidence that Gaetz and a variety of other Republicans and local businessmen were involved in his criminal actions, the lawsuit says. Greenberg was paying the legal bills of Gaetz’s accuser. He allegedly lied about Gaetz to “reduce his own prison sentence,” according to the lawsuit.

………..

The DOJ decided that the people making the accusations against Gaetz had such massive credibility problems that they could in no way charge him with any crimes. All the House Ethics Committee has done is revive those same accusations from the same unreliable witnesses.

As they did with the salacious accusations contained in the Democrat-funded Russia collusion dossier and the Washington Post’s unsubstantiated report against then-federal judge Brett Kavanaugh, the people who run Washington appear not to be concerned about the validity of the accusations so much as the ability to use them to stop a political opponent.

Over 300 pages of evidence from the CDC show very clearly that vaccines cause autism and that Wakefield was right about the MMR shots
Recently, I received a treasure trove of documents from a source inside the CDC showing they knew for over 20 years that Wakefield was right: vaccines cause autism.

Steve Kirsch
Nov 17, 2024

Executive summary
“I recently received a treasure trove of electronic documents from deep inside the CDC. These documents have never been made publicly available.

The documents include voice-recordings, emails, hand-written notes, diagrams, and data.

The claim that “vaccines don’t cause autism” is simply very inconsistent with this evidence.

I am working with Trevor Fitzgibbon to pitch this to all the mainstream media so that I’m not talking to an echo chamber with this data. It is much better if we can get the blue-pilled media to red-pill their peers; it’s unlikely to happen any other way.”

BIG NEWS: Speaker Mike Johnson Considers Recess Appointments to Push Through Trump’s Cabinet Picks Including Matt Gaetz if Senate Fails to Do Its Job | The Gateway Pundit | by Jim Hᴏft

………

Shannon Bream:

Critics argue that recess appointments undermine the Senate’s constitutional role. The Wall Street Journal editorial board called it anti-constitutional, saying it could open the door for future presidents to bypass Senate confirmations entirely. Wouldn’t this set a dangerous precedent?

Mike Johnson:

As a constitutional lawyer, I’ve always been a staunch defender of the Constitution. I’m sympathetic to these concerns. However, I’m hopeful the Senate will fulfill its constitutional duty and confirm these nominees. The hyperbole surrounding this issue is a distraction meant to stall President Trump’s agenda.

Trump will keep Johnson close to the fold, so Johnson doesn’t go wobbly. Which is his character, to cave.

TradeBait2

Johnson knows he has shelter with PDT and knows the vast majority of the GOP in the House is MAGA. They run every two years for office and the support for. PDT on the ground and in their districts is big and getting bigger. If they want re-elected they will vote to do whatever PDT wants. Easier to weed out the vermin in the House.

It is happy hunting time for RINO’s in the Senate. They have no more cover of darkness. 😀

Brave and Free

I’m thinking PDJT brought him along to the UFC fight to remind him of what an alpha male looks like and if he gets wobbly he’ll be replaced like the last speaker.

MTG at the ready to work, flushing Johnson if he caves.

“Critics argue that recess appointments undermine the Senate’s constitutional role.”

_____________

Critics are also the criminals who enable the ongoing uniparty fraud, which itself is a violation of the Constitution.

And a far greater one, with far more damaging consequences.

So in summation, I care about your concerns exactly as much as you care about the concerns of the American People.

Gotta Love it! Haitian immigrants are running from the coming Trump crackdown
Haitian immigrants flee Springfield, Ohio, in droves after Trump election win
Haitians are now coming to her to figure out how to leave.
“Some folks don’t have credit cards or access to the internet, and they want to buy a bus ticket or a plane ticket, so we help them book a flight,” she told the Guardian recently. “People are leaving.”
Koveleski, leaders in Springfield’s Haitian community, and others have relayed reports of Haitians fleeing the city of 60,000 people in recent days for fear of being rounded up and deported after Donald Trump’s victory in the 5 November presidential election.

The self-deporting has begun.

From the article:

Unofficial results from the presidential election found that Trump beat Harris by fewer than 150 votes in Springfield despite his making false claims about immigrants in the Ohio city a cornerstone of his anti-immigration election campaign.

How many of the illegals were allowed to vote?????
