Saturday’s boilerplate. Where the hell to start… Left foot, obviously.
Number One, on my To Do List here.
PAVACA.
Snatched, “Simply Saturday” from one of Wolf’s posts. He referred to your offer, to create Simply Saturdays, after Steve bailed.
Apologies. With attribution AND your permission, future Saturdays will be, Simply Saturday. Assuredly, my posts will not be as creative or entertaining as yours. But, Slow Guy Simple, they will be. 🙂
Obligatory administrivia stuff up front.
Most importantly. What Wheatie said.
3. If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone. <<< T H I S.
2. No running with scissors.
1. No food fights. (Launching dinner rolls encouraged.)
Personal Note.
- TMI.
- I’ll always remember Wheatie’s reply, to what may have been my first post here QTree. Polar Bear.
- Wheatie was incredibly warm, welcoming and “glad” I found QTree. That moment, I knew, QTree was for me.
- Truly wish I’d had the pleasure of meeting Wheatie.
AI generated stuff posted, should have link, reference, something along those lines.
Suggest AI stuff follow these reader friendly guidelines.
- Grok questions and the like commonly generate lengthy answers. Suggest paste the exact question in the reply. >>> THEN use the spoiler(s), for pasting Grok’s blathering.. Perhaps multiple spoilers for extended Grok blathering.
- Or a link to Grok’s answer. Which may be accurate AND likely has programmed bias.
Select guidance from Wolf.
- No obnoxious behavior towards fellow QTreeper(s).
- Freedom of Speech is honored here QTree.
- But Do Know, every poster, IS personally responsible for whatever they post.
Spelling, grammar, formatting and the like.
- “In my defense, I was left alone, without supervision.”
- Yea. I stole that line from a t-shirt. Remains my position.
- BTW. I do try. Not to screw up. But it happens. Seriously, I’ll NOT fret over it.
More TMI. Personal stuff AND future Simply Saturday Posts.
- My goal is to schedule, a post every Saturday, at 12:01AM.
- Regardless of time zone, DW and I are enjoying, lights are out 9PM or shortly after. Typically, up 5AM or so. 15-20 minutes later, I’m on line with QTree.
- IF perchance I screw up scheduling (likely), or WP fails to post (happens), I’ll kick the daily, out when I log in. ~5:15AM or soon thereafter.
- Obviously, Wolf is the boss. If Wolf is around, he usually is, rather sure Wolf will launch it..
- Wolf’s post policy, is quite lenient. Noon. I suspect that is so Authors don’t stress.
- Point is. Please don’t fret, Simply Saturday will get posted.
Simply Saturday boiler plate is to ensure, at a minimum, there is a Saturday post. Several will be scheduled in advance.
- My intention is to add Fresh stuff below the boiler plate, on Friday. then reschedule.
BREAKING NEWS. Deep thinking on Saturday’s, is so, so, yesterday. Keeping it, S I M P L E.
That is not a swipe at Steve, science posts or anything of the like. I always appreciated his stuff AND learned a great deal. Plus, reality is, I don’t do deep thinking.
- Simply Saturday will ideally, have news of interest, X’s and whatever I can glom onto.
- More like a primer, for the night crew to chatter box away, share fun stuff, news…
>>> At about this point the typical, Simply Saturday boiler plate, wraps up with… Slow Guy. Sorta like Wolf’s boiler plate, W.
Slow Guy
With First Edition, Simply Saturday boilerplate out of the way. Much of the above minutia will disappear, in follow-on, Simply Saturday boilerplate iterations.

News, X’s or Simply, different. In no particular order…
HOLY SH*T! On the spot, President Trump gives the ORDERS to his General to SH00T DOWN *ANY* Venezuelan fighter jet who dares fly directly over our warships in a dangerous manner.
“You have a choice of doing ANYTHING you want. OK? If they fly in a dangerous position, you can make the decision.” Trump said that the events that transpired this week involving a VZ fighter were NOT as described – meaning they likely did not get as directly overhead as was reported. “It wasn’t really ‘over,’ not like they described…”

^^^ Dunno why that one did not show correctly. Narrative below.
BREAKING: A total reversal just occurred – Trump Interior Secretary Doug Burgum is enacting a full “EXPLOSION” of liquefied natural gas exports in the United States after Biden slashed them for 4 years.
This was a move that helped our enemies, directly. No more. LNG is surging to the tune of tens of billions.
“It’s completely inexplicable that under the Biden administration, they would do something that hurt America and helped our adversaries. That’s exactly what happened when they shut down LNG export facilities.”
“There’s been a complete explosion of building export facilities, tens of BILLIONS of dollars going in across the Gulf Coast. The effort that’s going on in Alaska to build LNG export capabilities to sell to our Pacific allies.”
“We have the supply. The US is the largest supplier of LNG, now, in the world – growing the most rapidly, we’re the one that’s gaining share, and when we take that market share away from Russia, that’s great for Americans and it’s great for world peace.”
We were ruled by traitors for 4 years.
MeThinks, Stephen Miller struck gold.

The Rest Of The Story Follows. Though many may already know this one…
‘Quit Bombing Me’: A Renegade Republican’s Escalating War With Trump
Kentucky congressman Thomas Massie is trying to force the government to release more Epstein records; Trump vows to ‘lead the charge against him’
WASHINGTON—GOP Rep. Thomas Massie, a major thorn in President Trump’s side, wanted a peace agreement.
As the House struggled to finish Trump’s “big, beautiful” tax-and-spending bill, the Kentucky libertarian was pulled into a room off the House floor for a meeting convened by House Speaker Mike Johnson. The president was on the speakerphone. All year long, Trump had been attacking Massie for breaking with Republicans. Now he needed Massie’s vote.
Massie told the president he wanted the ads pummeling him on Kentucky television to stop. “I want the same deal you gave Iran: Quit bombing me,” Massie recalled telling Trump. When Trump asked who was running the ads, Massie said the mastermind was Chris LaCivita, a top political strategist for Trump. “Well, he works for me,” Massie recalled Trump responding. “I’ll tell him to quit.”

Another great FL Sheriff, With Great 2A Perspective.
Florida has a different approach: “If someone is breaking into your house, you’re more than welcome to shoot. We prefer you to do that, actually.”

Finally, this shithead will be deported. I hope he has a totally miserable flight AND miserable life, in whatever shithole he’s headed to.

Hmmm. Another Twit didn’t show.

Let’s try this as a Twit. Crashed and burned. Pasted as a Truth, or was it a X. Dunno. But it worked on the third try. Computers, PFM.
