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!

Have I mentioned how great house centipedes are at keeping the REAL pests under control? Even if I have already talked about this, here is a refresher with even more information!
Have a great weekend! The big 250 is coming soon! Get excited!

Good piece by Kurt. I’m still a huge fan of JD, and think these criticisms are nonsense.
I didn’t know people were criticizing Vance, and I’m wondering if it’s really as pervasive as Schlichter indicates. From what I’ve seen, I think he must be an excellent negotiator.
And this…
LOL! 😂 Schlichter has no idea what is going on or what people are thinking. It’s possible that Pres. Trump has put Vance in this position for any number of reasons. SMH.
I think it’s training. Trump is training Vance, and it’s awesome!
👍🏼 Very likely.
It occurs to me…..we want Iran cleaned up, but don’t want to put American boots on the ground…..but we’re also looking to deport several million illegal alien boots out of the US….
Thursday already? I’m still working on Hump Day.
What hump?

‘We Could Make Prisons Obsolete’: James Talarico Called To Slash Police Budgets and Spend the Money on Social ProgramsTalarico, who has said he does not support defunding police, also said prisons are ‘the consequences of systemic racism and global capitalism’
UGH!!! FOOLS!!!
This is a good opportunity for MAGA to run on AND propose legislation that requires professional politicians to live by the same exact policies as they support or vote to enact.
No exemptions, no carve-outs, no exceptions.
If they believe in a policy or vote, they are required to live by it and personally accept the consequences.
So if Talarico and other Leftists want to make prisons obsolete, then they must house all of the prisoners in their own homes, and in their constituents’ homes, the homes of whoever votes for them.
And if those prisoners harm anyone, the homeowner is charged as an accomplice.
If Talarico and other Leftists want to defund the police, then they are cut off from the 911 system, so they won’t be tempted to violate their conscience in a time of need.
If Talarico and other Leftists want to oppose the 2nd Amendment, then they don’t get armed security guards, they get Karens for protection.
It rips the mask off the hypocrisy of the Left.
It makes democrat voters actually consider the consequences of their vote.
It would make it impossible for d-Rat candidates to talk about anything else.
It injects the kind of comic relief that would go viral during the election season.
It is going on offense, and offense is always more fun than defense.
These people talk as if their ideas are new, when they have all been tried before and have failed.
Prayers for the people of Venezuela!

Someone was wondering if John Thune opposes SAVE America because of illegal labor in his state, and they asked Grok.
Well, well, well.

He ends with his usual “We will make America (safe, happy, proud, etc., and) great again.” I hadn’t heard that in a while.
