Note that the image below was ready for today, from the beginning of this Thursday column!
This man, making Christmas calls from the White House, believes the world is a sphere. And he has even flown around it! So has our beautiful FLOTUS, who happens to be his wife!

Truth and common sense must be valued by us, as individuals, in order to lastingly disempower the authoritarian fake news media. This includes the perniciously smarmy science media, which never answers for its errors and lies. I believe that the media has been responsible not only for leftist pathologies like scientism, medical fascism, and radical gender ideology, but also for reactionary movements like modern flat Earth, rejection of all medicine, and Biblical geological literalism.
Just as Wheatie’s Stormwatch Monday Open Thread was created as a place for people to openly express their thoughts and opinions, so, too, is this Thank God Thursday Open Thread, where honest but civil discussion of all topics is encouraged. This thread is also to be known as Theistic Evolution Thursdays, due to the author’s expected “pontification” about his scientific, religious, and political opinions. You are welcome to pontificate back! Free speech matters!
Please label all AI-generated content as being such, unless it is patently obvious (e.g., humorous AI images). It is important that we as individuals not begin to pretend that socially derived artificial intelligence is actually our own, as this form of stealthy social information averaging and feedback would be one more pretense and deception between people, in service of stupid Marxist socialism, and of those who wish to substitute their communally protected lies for actual truth.
The source of alleged truth matters, not for the truth itself, but for validation.
And yes, it’s THURSDAY…again.

And that’s it. We’re done stealing from Wheatie.
OK – maybe her rules need to be posted.

- No food fights.
- No running with scissors.
- If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone.
Other rules may be derivable from these, and that conjecture is left for discussion.
If there is nothing beyond the “W” below, then this is a placeholder. For health reasons, I can’t always post a timely opinion before each Thursday, but I will try. Otherwise, you have this placeholder post, where YOU provide the content. Enjoy!

And now, some of the usual goodies!
(I) A new favorite version of this song – created by humans, arranged by humans and machines (see YouTube).
(II) How about some Christmas lights, on a chemis-tree? Actually, this is “How to figure out Planck’s constant using colored LEDs” – or something like that.
(III) A rose may be a rose by any other name, but is a “meta-rose” still “meta” without “meta-“? Or even with “ortho-” or “para-“? Your call, patriots!
From Melania’s website, this “meta-rose” is one of her digital collectibles.
For a discussion of why roses are rosey, see here.

(IV) What would Christmas be without some chess? I still have the family chessboard my parents got us for Christmas! Here is a fast, furious and fun game!
(V) Sorry – I’m in love with this mathematical picture of 1729! Many thanks to our cthulhu for pointing it out!

We’ve been through a lot of Christmases together, my friends. It has been a long but blessed road.

2025, Melania introducing ornaments for the big 250 year celebration
And Now, a Rarity of Sorts

My thanks, my friends, to all of you
To posters, lurkers, spies
To poets, pests, and patriots
Debunkers of all lies
Though not a man of wordy ways
And prone to worldly vice
This Christmas I do think of you
And all your good advice
I thank you for what you have done
And what you didn’t do
To make this site a better place
This rare and quiet View
I thank you for your patience long
Throughout these humbling years
Your steadfast trust in Donald Trump
Through pain, and strife, and tears
Your love for our America
Embraced by oath or birth
Your love for land defended by
Brave souls beneath the earth
We know not what the future brings
And yet we tremble not
For fear of God doth make us brave
To love Who He begot
And so I wish unto you all
Upon this Christmas Day
A Merry Twenty-Five of Twelve
May Peace be yours today!
W
