What is it that feeds our battle, yet starves our victory?
Our Turn
[Yes, I did this one just after the election. But it was too cathartic to just throw away.]
We’ve often seen that quote from David Plouffe: “It is not enough to simply beat Trump. He must be destroyed thoroughly. His kind must not rise again.”
This was of course a declaration of intent to annihilate not just Trump, but rather “his kind.”
You know what? I think we should flip it around. David Plouffe’s kind should be destroyed thoroughly and their kind must not rise again.
What is Plouffe’s kind? I suppose it depends on who’s talking and what they are thinking of in particular. Well, at the moment it’s me talking and I am thinking of the sort of maggot who is attracted to politics not to better his world but rather so that he can wield power over others, or line their pockets with “free” money. Often these people end up as what Ayn Rand called “pull peddlers,” receiving money in exchange for using their connections to do favors.
This type is parasitic. Utterly parasitic. And they should be destroyed thoroughly and not allowed to rise again.
The bad news is we will never eradicate them. Useless turds who can’t do anything productive will always be with us. As will the outright sociopaths.
Of course they find Trump to be their enemy. And of course they find us to be their enemy. If we won’t simply lie down and let our “betters” have their way with us, we’re a problem, we’re something to be got rid of. And of late, we haven’t lain down without a protest, as we are “supposed” to do. Dang uppity Garbage Deplorables! We don’t know our place!!!
The good news is we can provide far fewer niches for these parasites. The niches come into being when something that people formerly did of their own free will is taken over by the government; then every aspect of that activity becomes a political football.
Take for instance education. Since the government runs it, if you don’t like what’s being done, you have to form a political movement and try to work your way around the maggots embedded in the bureaucracy. If education were private, then if you didn’t like what they were doing to your child, you’d take your money and your child elsewhere. And people who didn’t even have school-age children presently would have no voice–and not have to pay money. Making it a government “thing” turned it into a political thing, and the maggots began to swarm.
So we wreck them by seriously cutting government and giving them fewer places to exist. Among all of the other benefits, the body politic would have fewer sociopaths and parasites in it.
People like Plouffe are the same type, but they are the full-on political hacks who set policy, rather than implement it. They’re just as bad if not worse; they help government grow, and steer it into serving its own ends, rather than those of the people it is supposed to be serving.
The Deep State is nothing more than a government that serves its own ends.
And we have had enough of this.
They must be destroyed thoroughly, and their kind must not rise again.
This election wasn’t the end, it was the beginning. There are millions of these malignancies in this country and we’ve just defeated two of them. Keep pushing. Now we can go after them wholesale.
It’s our turn.
Our turn.
Our turn.
OUR TURN!
You stole the 2020 election. You’ve mocked and ridiculed and put people in prison and broken people’s lives because you said this thing was stolen. This entire phony thing is getting swept out. Biden’s getting swept out. Kamala Harris is getting swept out. MSNBC is getting swept out. The Justice Department is getting swept out. The FBI is getting swept out. You people suck, okay?! And now you’re going to pay the price for trying to destroy this country.
And I’m going to tell you, we’re going to get to the bottom of where the 600,000 votes [are]. You manufactured them to steal this election from President Trump in 2020. And think what this country would be if we hadn’t gone through the last four years of your madness, okay? You don’t deserve any respect, you don’t deserve any empathy, and you don’t deserve any pity.
And if anybody gives it to you, it’s Donald J. Trump, because he’s got a big heart and he’s a good man. A good man that you’re still gonna try to put in prison on the 26th of this month. This is how much you people suck. Okay? You’ve destroyed his business thing. And he came back.
He came back in the greatest show of political courage, I think, in world history. Like, [Roman statesman] Cincinnatus coming back from the plough [returning to politics to rescue the Roman Republic]. He’s the American Cincinnatus. And what he has done is a profile in courage. We’ve had his back. But I got to tell you, he may be empathetic. He may have a kind heart. He may be a good man. But we’re not. Okay? And you deserve, as Natalie Winters says, not retribution, justice. But you deserve what we call rough Roman justice, and we’re prepared to give it to you.
Steve Bannon, on election night
OUR TURN!!
OUR TURN!!!

OUR TURN!!!
January 6 Tapes?
Paging Speaker Johnson…this is your conscience calling you out on broken promises.
For all your high talk about your Christian moral background…you’re looking less and less like you have any kind of moral background.
If You are a Patriot and Don’t Loathe RINOs…
Let’s talk about RINOs, and why they are the lowest form of life in politics.
Many patriots have been involved with politics, often at the grassroots, for decades. We’ve fought, and fought, and fought and won the occasional illusory small victory.
Yet we can’t seem to win the war, even when we have BIG electoral wins.
I am reminded of something. The original Star Trek had an episode titled Day of the Dove. It was one of the better episodes from the third season, but any fan of the original series will tell you that’s a very low bar. Still, it seems to get some respect; at a time when there were about 700 episodes of Star Trek in its various incarnations out there, it was voted 99th best out of the top 100.
In sum, the plot is that an alien entity has arranged for 39 Enterprise crew, and 39 Klingons, to fight each other endlessly with swords and other muscle-powered weapons. The entity lives off of hostile emotions, you see and it wants a captive food source. (The other 400 or so Enterprise crew are trapped below decks and unable to help.) Each side has its emotions played and amplified by the alien entity; one Enterprise junior officer has false memories implanted of a brother who was killed by Klingons. The brother didn’t even exist.
Even people killed in a sword fight miraculously heal so they can go do it again.
The second best line of the episode is when Kang, the Klingon captain, notes that though they have won quite a number of small victories including capturing Engineering, can’t seem to actually finally defeat the Enterprise crew. He growls, “What power is it that feeds our battle yet starves our victory?*”
Indeed. He may have been the bad guy, but his situation should sound familiar.
We are a majority in this country. We have a powerful political party in our corner. There is endless wrangling.
And yet,
What power is it that feeds our battle yet starves our victory?
In our case, that power is the RINOs in our midst. They specialize in caving when on the verge of victory. Think of Obamacare’s repeal failing…by one Republican vote. Think of the way we can never seem to get spending under control (and now our entire tax revenue goes to pay interest on the debt; anything the government actually does now is with borrowed money).
We have a party…that refuses to do what we want it to do, and that refusal is institutionalized. If you’ve been involved with GOP politics, but haven’t seen this, it’s because you refuse to see it. Or because you are part of the problem yourself. (If so, kindly gargle some red fuming nitric acid to clear the taste of shit out of your mouth, and let those not part of the problem alone so they can read this.)
We fight to elect people, who then take a dive when in office. But it’s not just the politicians in office, it’s the people behind the scenes, the leaders of the national, state and county branches of the party. Their job is to ensure that real patriots never get onto the general election ballot. They’re allowed a few failures…who can then become token conservatives who will somehow never manage to win (Jordan), or can be compromised outright (Lauren Boebert?).
That way it doesn’t actually matter who has a congressional majority. I remember my excitement when the GOP took the Senate in 1980. But all that did was empower a bunch of “moderate” puddles of dog vomit like…well for whatever reason forty years later the most memorable name is Pete Domenici. And a couple of dozen other “moderates” who simply had no interest in doing what grassroots people in their party–those same grassroots people who had worked so hard to elect them–wanted them to do.
Oh, they’ll put up a semblance of a fight…but never win. And they love it when we fight the Dems instead of fighting them. Just like that alien entity, whose motto surely was “Let’s you and him fight. It’ll be delicious!”
If you think about it, your entire political involvement has come to nothing because of these walking malignant tumors.
That should make you good and mad.
The twenty five who blocked Jordan, and the hundred people who took that opportunity to stab Jordan in the back in the secret ballot should make you good and mad.
I’ll close this with another example of RINO backstabbing, an infuriating one close to home.
In my county, the GOP chair is not a RINO. She got elected when the grassroots had had enough of the RINOs. Unfortunately the state organization is full of RINOs, and the ousted county RINOs have been trying to form a new “Republican Party” and get the state GOP to recognize them as the affiliate. I’m honestly amazed it hasn’t happened yet.
In other words those shitstains won’t just leave when they get booted out; they’ll try to destroy what they left behind. It’s an indication that they know we know how important that behind-the-scenes party power is.
So they must be destroyed. That’s the only way they’ll ever stop.
We cannot win until the leeches “on our side” get destroyed.
What power is it that feeds our battle yet starves our victory?*
We know it. What is going to be done about it?
*NOTE: The original line was actually “What power is it that supports our battle yet starves our victory.” I had mis-remembered it as feeds. When I checked it, it sure enough was “supports” and that’s what I originally quoted. On further reflection, though, I realized my memory was actually an improvement over the reality, because feeds is a perfect contrast with starves. I changed it partway through the day this originally posted, but now (since this is a re-run) it gets rendered this way from the start.
If one must do things wrong, one should do them wrong…right.
RINOs an Endangered Species?
If Only!
According to Wikipoo, et. al., the Northern White Rhinoceros (Ceratotherium simum cottoni) is a critically endangered species. Apparently two females live on a wildlife preserve in Sudan, and no males are known to be alive. So basically, this species is dead as soon as the females die of old age. Presently they are watched over by armed guards 24/7.
Biologists have been trying to cross them with the other subspecies, Southern White Rhinoceroses (Rhinoceri?) without success; and some genetic analyses suggest that perhaps they aren’t two subspecies at all, but two distinct species, which would make the whole project a lot more difficult.
I should hope if the American RINO (Parasitus rectum pseudoconservativum) is ever this endangered, there will be heroic efforts not to save the species, but rather to push the remainder off a cliff. Onto punji sticks. With feces smeared on them. Failing that a good bath in red fuming nitric acid will do.
But I’m not done ranting about RINOs.
The RINOs (if they are capable of any introspection whatsoever) probably wonder why they constantly have to deal with “populist” eruptions like the Trump-led MAGA movement. That would be because the RINOs stand for absolutely nothing except for going along to get along. That allows the Left to drive the culture and politics.
I well remember 1989-1990 in my state when the RINO establishment started preaching the message that a conservative simply couldn’t win in Colorado. Never mind the fact that Reagan had won the state TWICE (in 1984 bringing in a veto-proof state house and senate with him) and GHWB had won after (falsely!) assuring everyone that a vote for him was a vote for Reagan’s third term.
This is how the RINOs function. They push, push, push the line that only a “moderate” can get elected. Stomp them when they pull that shit. Tell everyone in ear shot that that’s exactly what the Left wants you to think, and oh-by-the-way-Mister-RINO if you’re in this party selling the same message as the Left…well, whythefuckexactly are you in this party, you lying piece of rancid weasel shit?
Justice
It says “Justice” on the picture.
And I’m sure someone will post the standard joke about what the fish thinks about the situation.
But what is it?
Here’s a take, from a different context: It’s about how you do justice, not the justice that must be done to our massively corrupt government and media. You must properly identify the nature of a person, before you can do him justice.
Ayn Rand, On Justice (speaking through her character John Galt, in Atlas Shrugged):
Justice is the recognition of the fact that you cannot fake the character of men as you cannot fake the character of nature, that you must judge all men as conscientiously as you judge inanimate objects, with the same respect for truth, with the same incorruptible vision, by as pure and as rational a process of identification—that every man must be judged for what he is and treated accordingly, that just as you do not pay a higher price for a rusty chunk of scrap than for a piece of shining metal, so you do not value a rotter above a hero—that your moral appraisal is the coin paying men for their virtues or vices, and this payment demands of you as scrupulous an honor as you bring to financial transactions—that to withhold your contempt from men’s vices is an act of moral counterfeiting, and to withhold your admiration from their virtues is an act of moral embezzlement—that to place any other concern higher than justice is to devaluate your moral currency and defraud the good in favor of the evil, since only the good can lose by a default of justice and only the evil can profit—and that the bottom of the pit at the end of that road, the act of moral bankruptcy, is to punish men for their virtues and reward them for their vices, that that is the collapse to full depravity, the Black Mass of the worship of death, the dedication of your consciousness to the destruction of existence.
Ayn Rand identified seven virtues, chief among them rationality. The other six, including justice, she considered subsidiary because they are essentially different aspects and applications of rationality.
—Ayn Rand Lexicon (aynrandlexicon.com)
Justice Must Be Done.
Trump, it is supposed, had some documents.
Biden and company stole the country.
I’m sure enough of this that I put my money where my mouth is.
The 2020 election must be acknowledged as fraudulent, and steps must be taken to prosecute the fraudsters and restore integrity to the system.
Nothing else matters at this point.
This will necessarily be piecemeal, state by state, which is why I am encouraged by those states working to change their laws to alleviate the fraud both via computer and via bogus voters. If enough states do that we might end up with a working majority in Congress and that would be something Trump never really had.
Martin Luther King
When you open your heart to patriotism, there is no room for prejudice
President Donald Trump, 20 January 2017 (The “Dark” Inauguration Speech).
[NOTE: Yes, technically this is something I should delete since it’s not January 18th any more and it is dated, but I decided to give it one more run, because some things said here don’t depend on what’s showing on the page-a-day calendar.]
….But I’ll still say something about MLK. He was a decidedly mixed individual. As are we all. But I think he, and many others of his time, did something important and unpleasant; he (and those others) forced a recognition that even after the Civil War we were being hypocritical on the subject of equality under the law. Those people who descended from those who (shall we say) involuntarily migrated to what is now the United States were still getting the shitty end of the stick in many parts of this country, as a matter of law.
He was one hundred percent correct on that.
Unfortunately his successors have turned the point full circle and want a leg up from the law, supposedly to make up for the past mistreatment, but that can only lead to an endless round of back and forth. There are some signs that MLK himself had he not been killed (he would be turning 96 this year were he still alive), would have been right alongside the race baiters (which include some who were with him), other signs that he wouldn’t have.
But just as Thomas Jefferson penned these words, in spite of owning slaves, the words that eventually shamed us into abolishing the “peculiar institution”:
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights…
I’ll go with what Martin Luther King said…not all that far from where the Inauguration will take place:
And so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream.
I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.”
I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.
I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.
I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.
Emphasis mine. Judge people by the content of their character.
That is as it should be.
I see that at Trump rallies. His words about opening hearts to patriotism were true.
I see nothing but reverse racism on the Left. To them the world is defined by what one group does to another, some group must be on top shitting on everyone else. And it shows. There’s a false dichotomy in their thinking. Either white shits on black, or black shits on white. The way to deal with this false dichotomy, though, is not to gin up a third “group” to make it a trichotomy, or a fourth group to make it, what, a tetrachotomy? quadrichotomy? Is either of those actually a word? Gee maybe we can have a different group on top every week of the year at least until some jackass makes up a 53rd group! (Let’s leave aside the one or two day remainder you get from dividing 365(or 6) by 7. These are leftists studying critical race theory, not mathematicians.)
How about we do something different? How about we work towards a system where the law shits on NO ONE except those who violate the rights of others?

*The SteveInCO Federal Reserve Note Suckage Index (FRNSI) is a measure of how much the dollar has inflated. It’s the ratio of the current price of gold, to the number of dollars an ounce of fine gold made up when the dollar was defined as 25.8 grains of 0.900 gold. That worked out to an ounce being $20.67+71/387 of a cent. (Note gold wasn’t worth this much back then, thus much gold was $20.67 71/387ths. It’s a subtle distinction. One ounce of gold wasn’t worth $20.67 back then, it was $20.67.) Once this ratio is computed, 1 is subtracted from it so that the number is zero when the dollar is at its proper value, indicating zero suckage.

Well, it is the later half of August…..an old hooded gypsy silently turning cards in a dark corner once foretold that this would be a sign of Steve’s return……
Who wrote this song?
Curtis Mayfield. A bit of a departure from his usual.
My “tarot cards” (COUGH – from the Logic Brand Card Company) say that if he is not seen for one more week, he has found his true love! 💖 💃
Could be worse….
He could come out of his hole, and if he sees his shadow there would be six more weeks of summer…..
So there has been no news about the results of DJT’s meeting with Putin?
I understand that Lavrov wore a “CCCP” sweatshirt to the meet, and Russian reporters were fed Chicken Kiev on the plane ride over.
So the war is over then?
And there’s a new American-Russian alliance to jointly develop the arctic, controlling trade routes, and leaving Europe and chyna on the outside looking in?
Trump gave Brett Baier an exclusive interview before the summit, in which he said the Russia Russia hoax will have to be dealt with before relations with Russia can be fully settled. CTH has the interview.
I’m wondering if President Trump gave Brett Baier the interview as a warning to the Russia Russia hoax perpetrators – that he is planning to deal with them (both the Ukraine perps and the US perps) before the Ukraine – Russia war will be fully resolved. There is a heap of manure (lies, corruption, evildoers) to get out of the barn!
Hopefully all involved in ginning up the hoax and involved in the crimes in Ukraine, the Biden crime family, the sons of US politicians (Kerry, Romney, Biden, Pelosi) involved in Ukraine energy scams, human trafficking, bioweapons labs, the insufferable Vindemans, and the despicable media will all get their deserved justice before this is over.
Several things unite Presidents Trump and Putin – among those are their hatred of the exploitation, trafficking and abuse of children and their Christian values.
President Trump understands that the reason for Russia’s invasion of Ukraine was partly self – defense:
Ukraine AZOV Nazis had been provoking, attacking Russia
Ukraine-US bioweapon labs were a threat to Russia
Ukraine had been persecuting Russia friendly Ukraine citizens
US energy schemes promoted by US political families in Ukraine were the reason for trying to stop Russia energy enterprises.
President Trump understands quite well the evils that US has perpetrated here, there and yonder – as well as against himself.
Thank you GA/FL 👍🙂
Hillary must have gotten wind of this requirement from PDJT.
May explain why she said she’d nominate PDJT for the Nobel Peace Prize, trying to get the public back in her corner. We know she wouldn’t do it from just the kindness of her heart.
Kindness of her heart??? Bwahahahaha!!!
I want some of whatever dope you’re using ’cause it’s some damn good shit. 
Trust me – she’s doing it from the coldness of her heart. She knows the jig is up.
Much better words.
Thanks. Hitlary will always be a sociopath. She’ll take that
willwith her to the grave.When I realized that she went almost OTT on Halperin’s and Scarborough’s strategy suggestion of “how to stop Trump” – OMG – that woman’s heart isn’t just ice – it’s at absolute zero.
She is world class wicked and ambitious, and will do whatever she can to knife Trump before her heart stops beating and her eyes stop blinking.
OMG, she’s listening to Morning Joe and that Halperin dude!!!
“Trump gave Brett Baier an exclusive interview before the summit, in which he said the Russia Russia hoax will have to be dealt with before relations with Russia can be fully settled.”
_______________
That would be a convenient excuse to say he doesn’t want to have to put poor old B-rock and Sick Hitlary in a deep, dark, dank prison…
But the war in Ukraine can never end until he does, because they started it, and they’re still behind it, and they’re keeping it going!
And then bring the receipts, gut the rogue CIA and the 37 other rogue intelligence agencies, and replace everybody with patriots in about 36 or 37 fewer agencies.
This also pretty well sums it up. 👍
No justice – no freedom and liberty for We the People.
Pretty well sums it up. Good post, GA/FL.
The business, cultural and strategic opportunities are mind blowing if the deep state scum bags in both countries can ever be eliminated.
I await an explanation for the inaction of Trump 1.0 regarding the abuse of the Russian-speaking provinces of Ukraine by Kiev/Azov. After all, we [fed govt] have no qualms about bitching at the CCP for its abusive treatment of Uyghers.
For some reason, Vlad has been silent about that four year [2017-21] period of time in which USA was deeply involved in Ukraine yet DJT did nothing [of which I am aware].
I just read a post over at CTH that riled me right up. Sundance writes:
“The value in Russiagate declassification and information releases, is more about laying the groundwork for a reset – and stopping the political opposition therein. That’s the Big Picture value to President Trump.
That is quite a big and significantly magnanimous position to take by President Trump.
Hopefully, the MAGA base will eventually come around to this understanding, because right now they are intensely expecting criminal accountability. That’s not President Trump’s goal, he’s thinking much bigger and more consequential that holding the irrelevant gnats accountable.
Apparently, Hillary Clinton can see that. It’s such a big altruistic position her tribe appears genuinely stunned. Hopefully, the base of MAGA will also accept this strategic purpose.”
I responded:
“So, let me try to understand.
We have been “at war” with Russia since the end of WWII, except for a brief period when the Soviet Union collapsed under its own weight, and they were so poor and disorganized they weren’t any kind of threat.
Now, we are “at war” again with Russia through Ukraine, sort of, even though I can’t see what possible difference it makes to me as an American if Russia takes the whole thing.
And Sundance is saying that Trump has to lose the actual war, the one between justice and lawlessness, right and wrong, Good and Evil, so that we can “reset” relations with Russia? Back to what, exactly?
From the cheap seats up here, I will tell you that “the base” is NEVER going to accept that we must live under a two-tier system of justice in America just so Europe doesn’t have to deal with Russia. We want to end the actual war, the one raging for the soul of America.
Are we slaves, or are we free?”
We’ll see if ole Sundance responds to me, or not.
I read that this morning also. And once again SD puts himself upon the pedestal of the enlightened.
“This framework essentially validates what a small group of deep weeds walkers, including myself, have suspected”.
Always framing his perspective from the point of he’s more informed than PDJT and he knew this beforehand. Sorry but there’re a few of us who can think for ourselves.
Now he has framed the ones responsible for the Russia Russia hoax as “the irrelevant gnats”.
As he throws accolades to hillary’s camp.
Apparently, Hillary Clinton can see that. It’s such a big altruistic position.
He’ll respond to your comment with the delete button.
😂
You might be right, lol!
Reading his shallow mind again, are ya? 😂
“Always framing his perspective from the point of he’s more informed than PDJT and he knew this beforehand. Sorry but there’re a few of us who can think for ourselves.”
______________
It’s like he’s a psyop for self-defeatism, preparing his followers to accept defeat, presented as ‘truth’ from someone ‘in the know’.
That way, if there is no justice again, he can be the one in the room who *knew* ahead of time, the oh-so-prescient and wise one to whom everyone needs to look. (Disclaimer: I can’t know his motives, of course. This is how his writing comes across to me, and I find it revolting. The responsibility for how he writes is on him.)
What’s so particularly galling about this one is that he is laying it at Trump’s door. And if there are genuine legal hurdles that can’t be overcome, it will be *because* of what SD has said. It will be that Trump didn’t want the “gnats” prosecuted so something-or-other could happen with Russia. I don’t see that as America First. America is crying out for justice.
“Now he has framed the ones responsible for the Russia Russia hoax as “the irrelevant gnats”.”
____________
Exactly.
Hussein, Hitlary, Brandon, Hunter, Samantha Power, Victoria Nuland, John Podesta, Susan Rice, ValJar, Brennan, Comey, Wray, Barr, Clapper, Yates, Soros, et al.
Irrelevant gnats who spent the last 40+ years in a very deliberate and orchestrated attempt to destroy our Republic, depopulate the planet, and throw the world into another Dark Age.
Having caused tens of millions of people to die from their forever wars.
Just let them go.
That’s how you teach them a lesson. It’s exactly how America taught Fatiguers how to become roving packs of vicious animals, by never holding them accountable for anything, and treating them as if they are above the law. No bail, light sentences or no sentence at all, revolving door, regardless of the seriousness of the crime.
That’s exactly what SD is proposing Trump will do with the demons of the Hussein and Brandon and Bush administrations.
I’m sure they would never do it all over again, as soon as they figure out how to seize power again.
Why would they, after being so richly rewarded for their efforts, and with zero accountability, the last time?
It’s like inviting islamic Somali pirate invaders to live with you.
What could go wrong?
What.
Could.
Go.
Wrong.
It’s so *&^%$#^@ stupid there aren’t even proper words for it.
All true. What we must remember is that SD is saying all of that is what Pres. Trump wants.
Generically stated, not to anyone in particular: Let that sink in.
This. It’s why I find his writing insufferable.
There was another occurrence of this recently, not with PDJT but with his people in the FIB, I think, where SD’s writing implied that they were finally coming around to what he knew all along. SD never says it in those words, but it’s there as clear as day. He takes ownership of things that IMO are not his.
I thought you were banned at CTH? So how is he supposed to know what you wrote?
Lol. That’s a long story. Suffice it to say that I finagled my way under the radar there. I have remained. Strategery. 😉
Excellent response.
My vote: AND Logic.
Hitlary listened to Helperin and Morning Joe saying that the Dems should adopt a Bill Clinton-style “mollify-to-sabotage” strategy, and apparently Hillary Clinton agrees. She is coldly predictable on that score.
What she did there is EXACTLY what Morning Joe suggested – make phony, partially sincere “offers that he can’t refuse”.
Trump isn’t settling on this. SD needs to make sure he’s not letting Eeyore be his domestic analysis advisor.
Lol.
Yep, SD has convinced himself that Bondi, Patel and Bongino are all for show, to do a symbolically important thing — basically bringing the whole public up to speed on everything the criminal Brandon and Hussein administrations did — and then letting them off the hook, in some kind of delusional “can’t we all just be friends” surrender, so they can kill and kill again.
It’s so nihilistic it beggars belief.
I don’t know why he does that, I don’t know why he always goes full Eeyore at the drop of a hat.
To at least some measurable degree, we get the results we fight for.
We certainly get better results for the things we fight for, than we do from the things we don’t fight for.
He never wants to fight for justice.
I always do.
I’m a fighter, too. It just comes naturally to me.
“I don’t know why he always goes full Eeyore at the drop of a hat.”
Because he’s the smartest guy in the room … just ask him!
I went out side the wire and checked these things out …OMG the comments are, well … this is why we’re here!
Thanks W for this place!
Being banned does have consequences!
[FIRE MISSION]
LOL!
Happy to be able to provide a place where we can disagree with SD in comfort and safety. It feels great to be able to say what we really think here.
Amen!
Possible ban-hammer coming down? 
It could happen. Again.
Hope you get to skate by unscathed so you can drop helpful truth bombs over there as needed!

My Mom used to make amazing chicken Kiev (pronounced Kee-Ev, not Keev… Keev is Kiev’s gay cousin).
Beat the chicken breasts until they were nice and flat. Make the garlic butter with fresh garlic that was put through a garlic press (or smashed with a mortar & pestle) and then liquified with Kosher salt flakes (still my favorite salt for everything).
Then mix the garlic in with the butter and fresh chopped parsley. Roll the butter up inside wax paper, so it forms a cylinder about an inch thick, and refrigerate until it gets hard again.
Then cut sections of the butter to roll up inside the flattened chicken breasts, and seal them shut with toothpicks.
Or roll them in breadcrumbs first and then seal with toothpicks, or do the toothpicks first and use your hands to cover them with breadcrumbs. Somehow or another, get breadcrumbs evenly distributed all around the outside of the chicken.
Then dump the chicken into a hot oil deep fryer.
When it’s done, everything is crispy on the outside, the chicken is nice and tender, and the garlic & parsley butter is all melted inside, comes running out onto the plate as you cut into the chicken.
Squeeze fresh lemon over the the whole thing, and dig in 👍😁
Anything I liked to eat (growing up) I learned how to make, so I could make it for myself in college.
It’s a lot of work though, and a lot of cleanup, so I streamlined it for college.
Buy boneless chicken breasts.
Make the garlic butter the same as above, minus the parsley. No need to roll it up in wax paper or refrigerate it again, just leave it at room temperature.
Cook the chicken breasts in a frying pan with butter.
Serve the chicken on a plate with as much garlic butter on the side as you want, slice off a piece of garlic butter to have with each bite of chicken, melts in your mouth, along with fresh lemon (or lemon juice from a plastic container) to drizzle all over the chicken.
Tastes practically identical to the hard way, except for the missing texture from the missing breadcrumb coating, in about 1/8th the time, and half the mess 😁
Italian wife says, sounds delicious! BUT, you forgot the olive oil for a portion of the cooking! Thanks, Scott!!!
It’s probably a Julia Child recipe, my Mom had all of her cook books. I think that’s where my Mom’s Caesar Salad recipe is from, too.
I made the mistake of making it one time, to see if I could do it, and everybody liked it so much that it became my job, whenever we had Caesar Salad.
So to all you kids out there, you have to be careful about these kinds of things, and work in secret 👍😂
For about five servings, mash a whole clove of garlic in a large salad bowl (serving bowl). I usually slice it up lengthwise and then crosswise, then cover in Kosher salt flakes, and mash with a spoon until it’s liquified garlic & salt paste.
Then add about a teaspoon of Lea & Perrins Worcestershire sauce.
Then grind a bunch of black pepper over the garlic and Worcestershire sauce, until the black pepper covers it completely (or less, if you don’t like black pepper so much).
Slice a lemon into quarters, and pluck out the seeds with a knife tip.
Wash a whole head of Romaine lettuce and dry in a salad spinner.
Add about 5 large tablespoons of Grey Poupon Dijon mustard to the garlic, Worcestershire & black pepper pile at the bottom of the salad serving bowl.
I don’t really know how much Dijon to add, I’ve been making it for so many years, I’ve just been eyeballing it for decades at this point.
Next, add extra virgin olive oil to the bowl, and then use a whisk to stir it up and distribute the ingredients evenly.
If the mixture is too oily, add more Dijon mustard and whisk some more, to get back to a thicker consistency. Don’t whisk too long, or it will break down and turn oily again. It should be closer to the consistency of Dijon mustard than to olive oil.
If there is enough oil, mustard, garlic and pepper mixture to cover the entire bottom half of the serving bowl in dressing, you’re good to go.
Once the dressing is prepared, don’t wait long before dumping in the Romaine lettuce, or the dressing will begin to break down and separate.
Then add fresh grated parmesan cheese if you have it, or something like Kraft grated parmesan cheese if you don’t have fresh.
Then squeeze at least two, three or all four quarters of the lemon (depending on how much lemon you like) over the lettuce and parmesan cheese.
Then toss the salad thoroughly, making sure to get all the dressing off the sides of the serving bowl and evenly distributed throughout the lettuce, and serve.
The original recipe called for a raw egg yolk just before tossing, but over the years I grew out of the habit of doing anything with raw eggs.
The result is a strong and delicious Caesar Salad, better than anything I’ve ever had at a restaurant 👍😁
Edit: except for one restaurant, where they made the Caesar Salad at the table while you watched, and they made it almost exactly the way I do. I was watching him like a hawk… 😁
“BUT, you forgot the olive oil for a portion of the cooking!”
___________
I’m so used to cooking with butter, I usually forget I even have olive oil, unless I’m using it for something specific… like Caesar Salad!
Sounds like Italian wife is from Southern Italy, while Scott’s cribbing his recipes from near the Alps.
Trump – Putin gave a press briefing begins at 42.00 – they said it was a productive meeting, did not give any details and did not take questions from the media
I only watch the White House streams – !
RSBN has become so commercial with split screens, ads and a whole lot of palaver, and the MSM and other sources (CSPAN) often politicize their commentary.
One significant thing President Putin said – he affirmed President Trump’s frequent statement that if Trump had been President – there would have been no Russia – Ukraine war – !!!
Amen to that.
That has been one of the best taglines of this whole embarrassing fiasco.
Zelensky coming to Washington? Sounds like he’s been summoned. Him and the EU are no doubt having fits in private and soon public I’m sure.
Short on the military situation as he covers the Anchorage meeting in detail, using some unseen RU media, but it goes by rather fast. Still good up date and there’s mention that Trump talked with the President of Belarus just prior to the meeting Putin about the release of 1,300 prisoners. What? Hadn’t heard about that… Does the CIA even have that many agents or is Russia sending American Mercs captured on the battle field there for safe keeping? IDK.. will look for something on that.
Had a long conversation with Grok. Grok is of the mind they are political prisoners and not picked up on the battle field these past few years, though concedes the possibility. If political prisoners I’d venture it’s likely among them are some of those the CIA strung along to be part of a color revolution in Belarus and the CIA continued to monitor their status by forwarding their names to Human Rights organizations.
Yes, private fits for sure. And I think WEF is being admitted to the hospital for Hollywood Dehydration as we speak!
From way back, last week.
Seemed some fretting over Brandon Herrera, may accept AIPAC donations.
Twice I asked, had you asked him. Rather than fret over whatever OMG moment of the day.
Well, I had already asked him / his website for election. brandonherreraforcongress.
Bottom line.
Brandon does not intend to take a dime from any group lobbying for any foreign country.
Assuming Brandon gets elected, then, maybe, fret over this stuff.
My email
Hi Xxxx,

WOW. That’s an important dig. Thanks for that!
Gotta wonder if the change in leadership at
SPECTREWEF is somehow related to this.I am curious to see if President Z buys a new pair of sweatpants for the meeting.
“Bring me my brown sweatpants!”
Apparently he has to wear a suit or it’s a no-go. See my reply to cthulhu above.
Zelenskyy will be coming to the Oval Office on Monday. Enquiring minds want to know if he will be wearing a t-shirt and fatigues, a suit and tie, or something in between. It might indicate something about his frame of mind.
How about orange? That might indicate something about other people’s frame of mind.
I like it! I just found this, though.
U.S. Homeland Security News:
Everybody picks on Volodymoir for dressing like a scrub, but maybe they just don’t make suits that small.
He could be the tiniest man in all of Ukraine. Tailors are hard to find in a war zone, and suits off the rack are all sized for grown ups.
DJT should give him one of Barron’s suits, from when Barron graduated grade school. He could roll up the pants legs and paper-clip them in place 👍
They do make suits for little boys…
Well they should stop it, little boys don’t like to wear suits! 😂
Priceless!
Interview before the Alaska meeting.
Excellent interview. Para brought yesterday.
EACH DAY WE TAKE UP THE OFFENSIVE WEAPON OF THE WORD OF GOD – THE SWORD OF THE SPIRIT – ONE VERSE OPENS THE DOOR TO THE CONTEXT OF THE CHAPTER MESSAGE
Verse of the Day for Saturday, August 16, 2025
✟
“Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.”
Psalms 51:2 (KJV)
COMMENTARY FOR PSALMS 51
“The psalmist prays for mercy, humbly confessing and lamenting his sins. (1-6) He pleads for pardon, that he may promote the glory of God and the conversion of sinners. (7-15) God is pleased with a contrite heart, A prayer for the prosperity of Zion. (16-19)
(1-6) David, being convinced of his sin, poured out his soul to God in prayer for mercy and grace. Whither should backsliding children return, but to the Lord their God, who alone can heal them? He drew up, by Divine teaching, an account of the workings of his heart toward God. Those that truly repent of their sins, will not be ashamed to own their repentance. Also, he instructs others what to do, and what to say. David had not only done much, but suffered much in the cause of God; yet he flees to God’s infinite mercy, and depends upon that alone for pardon and peace. He begs the pardon of sin. The blood of Christ, sprinkled upon the conscience, blots out the transgression, and, having reconciled us to God, reconciles us to ourselves. The believer longs to have the whole debt of his sins blotted out, and every stain cleansed; he would be thoroughly washed from all his sins; but the hypocrite always has some secret reserve, and would have some favorite lust spared. David had such a deep sense of his sin, that he was continually thinking of it, with sorrow and shame. His sin was committed against God, whose truth we deny by wilful sin; with him we deal deceitfully. And the truly penitent will ever trace back the streams of actual sin to the fountain of original depravity. He confesses his original corruption. This is that foolishness which is bound in the heart of a child, that proneness to evil, and that backwardness to good, which is the burden of the regenerate, and the ruin of the unregenerate. He is encouraged, in his repentance, to hope that God would graciously accept him. Thou desirest truth in the inward part; to this God looks, in a returning sinner. Where there is truth, God will give wisdom. Those who sincerely endeavour to do their duty shall be taught their duty; but they will expect good only from Divine grace overcoming their corrupt nature”
Commentary by Matthew Henry, 1710.

Thank You, Jesus, for blessings received and prayers answered !!!
WE ARE FIGHTING A SPIRITUAL WAR OF GOOD VERSUS EVIL
PRAYING ON THE ARMOR OF GOD
Father God, I now follow your command to put on the full armor of God, because my battle is not against flesh and blood but against rulers, authorities, the powers of this dark world and against spiritual forces of evil in the unseen world.
I first pray on the Belt of Truth that it may be buckled around my waist, may I be centered and encircled by your truth dear Lord. Hem me inside all that is true and right, and may I be protected and held up by the truth of your living word, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Breastplate of righteousness, please protect my vital organs and my inner man, cover my integrity, my spirit, and my soul. Guard my heart for it is the wellspring of life, please strengthen and guard the most vulnerable places in my life with that which is right, good, and noble that I might not receive a fatal blow from the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Gospel Shoes of Peace. I choose to stand in the shoes of your good news, and on the firm foundation of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the solid eternal rock. All other ground is sinking sand, I pray that I will not slip or fall, but that my feet would be firmly fitted on your lordship, my Lord Jesus. I choose to stand on you, so that the peace of God, which transcends all understanding will guard my heart and mind in Christ Jesus, the eternal Rock of Ages. I receive your holy peace now my Lord, from the sole of my feet to the crown of my head, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray the Shield of Faith into my hand now. As I take up the shield of faith, I ask that you might extinguish every dart and arrow that is launched from the enemy to take me down spiritually, physically, mentally, emotionally, and every attempt of the enemy to destroy my joy. I ask that my faith in you would make it flame out. Extinguish every flaming arrow that would come against me, my life, my family, my home, or my ministry. May my faith always be out in front of me like a shield. Give me the courage to “faith my fears” by choosing to walk by faith and not by sight, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Helmet of Salvation, that you might protect my mind from the thoughts that can lead me astray. I choose to take every thought captive, and arrest all intentioned ideas and motives that would harm others, or distract me from your holy will for me. I submit every captured thought to the Lordship of my Lord Jesus Christ, and ask that you would imprison those thoughts that are not of you my Lord. Transform my mind and renew my thinking that I may think God thoughts, and have a sober mind that is focused on your glory. Please protect me from being double minded that I may allow my mind, I reject to live an earthly life, because I choose to live a holy one, governed by you My Lord Jesus, the prince of peace, please have my mind to be saturated with the holy mind of Christ, in my Lord Jesus name.
Finally, I take up the Sword of the Spirit which is the holy word of God, I pray this powerful offensive weapon into my hand, and ask that your holy word would be fitting for every encounter I face. As the enemy gets close to me, please give me the insight, wisdom, and skill to wield the word of God to drive away the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.
May the enemy and his team flee from me, upon hearing the word of God spoken by the power and direction of the Holy Spirit. Give me the sword of the spirit to cut through the wiles of the devil, so that I may discern the schemes of the enemy when he is near.
With all kinds of prayers, supplication, and intercession I pray to you my Lord God as the one who fights my battles. Now that I’m in your holy powerful armor, I walk away covered and ready to face my day as you go before me, and please protect me in the midst of the spiritual warfare in this unseen world, in my Lord Jesus name.
Thank you my Lord, for the spiritual weapons of armor and prayer that you have given me. It is written no weapon formed against me shall prosper, and you will refute every tongue that accuses me.
Thank you Father God, my Lord Jesus and the Holy Spirit, that I am more than a conqueror in my Lord Jesus. I pray all of this in the mighty name of my Lord God and Savior Jesus Christ, Amen.
PLEASE PRAY FOR ABUSED, MISSING, AND TRAFFICKED CHILDREN
BE MY VOICE
JESUS LOVES THE LITTLE CHILDREN
CHILD NOT CHOICE
St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle, be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him we humbly pray; and do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly host, by the power of God, cast into hell Satan and all the evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls.
Amen.
PLEASE PRAY FOR ONE ANOTHER
MAPA = MAKE AMERICA PRAY AGAIN
FORGIVE ME, LORD
Your commands are simple – but hard to keep;
For falling short of your precepts – I weep;
For the consequence of sin is surely death;
Separation from You – gasping for breath!
What have I done – what is missing from me?
How could it have happened – how could it be?
Where have I failed – fallen short in my faith;
With Your Grace removed – I wallow in wraith!
Send forth Your Spirit – to help me discern;
Give me Your Wisdom – please help me to learn;
You know my heart, Lord – as no person can;
Help me uncover – what’s for me in your plan!
There are no excuses for falling short;
Nor are their reasons to which we resort;
No justification could we conjure up now;
For thwarting our relation to God anyhow!
I pray You will lead be me back to Your path;
Let me not stumble – or suffer Your wrath;
Hide Your face not from me – be near, Oh Lord;
Teach me and reach me – through Your Holy Word!
As I pray in the Word – let Your scriptures speak;
Help me be humble – help me be meek;
Let Your Spirit instruct – let Him convict;
Open my eyes, Lord – let my heart be pricked!
Reveal in my heart – Your message today;
Remove the distraction – let nothing defray;
From the outside in – and inside outward;
Forgive Me, Lord – help me move about ward!
Whether or not you believe it could be;
The righteous man sins seven times – daily;
Therefore it’s important – prudent for he;
To repent, reconcile and – be holy!
The Bible tells us – do pray unceasingly;
Keep God in your heart – ever increasingly;
Be mindful and watchful of what you do;
Say – defray – don’t delay – He wants you!
Do you think for a moment salvation is free?
Do you think God offers it unconditionally?
Our Lord, Jesus Christ, paid the ransom for sin;
Your sins are forgiven – to let you back in!
When you entertain demons – devils defy;
Your soul is in jeopardy – can you see why?
The Spirit lives not in a temple defiled;
With no inspiration – you are beguiled!
A devil comes in all shapes and sizes;
Temptation is simple – he so devises;
There are deadly sins – yes – seven in all;
That sneak up on you – like a plague befall!
Just when you think all is going quite well;
That pesky devil lures you to hell;
Watch your back – your tongue – be ever prayerful;
Repent seven times – and please be careful!
Be slow to anger and quick to forgive;
Put on your armor – continue to live;
With faith and through grace under protection;
Pass all your tests and do pass inspection!
Forgive Me, Lord – for I have failed again;
Alas, I’m not perfect – like You – Amen;
Please heal me – reveal me – refresh me anew;
Remain by Your side – ever faithful to You!

Thank You Duchess! 🙂

VIRAL VIDEO: Young Woman’s Mockery of the Left’s ‘No Kings’ Hypocrisy Racks Up Millions of Views
Her closing lines, slaps libtards in the face. Assuming they listen to the entire video.
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/08/viral-video-young-womans-mockery-lefts-no-kings/
Excellent!
✊ NO KINGS!!! ✊
But fatiguers are always claiming “We wuz Kangs!”, so when white liberals shout “NO KINGS”, it’s really just another example of the (trans)Man keeping the black man down 😁
Same people that took down the Washington Redskin and Aunt Jemima.
Truth reported by the True Pravda news, NOT seen by Fake News.
Betcha.
US, International press NOT invited. They have no reverence, at solemn events.At the Alaska presser, Putin spoke of Lend Lease to Russia during WWII. Cemeteries in the US and In Russia honoring the dead, US and Russian flags flying.
Putin Meets Archbishop AlexeiRussian President Vladimir Putin met with Archbishop Alexei of Sitka and Alaska at St. Innocent’s Cathedral on the outskirts of Anchorage, Alaska, ahead of the Putin-Trump summit. The meeting occurred after a service at the cathedral, and the Archbishop later spoke with the BBC about the encounter.
The meeting took place at St. Innocent’s Cathedral in Anchorage.Prior to this meeting, Putin also laid flowers at the graves of Soviet pilots who died during World War II at Fort Richardson National Cemetery near Anchorage.The Kremlin released footage of the conversation between Putin and Archbishop Alexei.
Yet there are those on our side who call Vlad a heartless communist.
I think he’s just a “Russia First” kind of guy.
To his credit, Russia First.
Slow Guy wrong again. BB reported Putin visiting, Fort Richardson National Cemetery.

If I ever get to Anchorage, I’ll sure visit, Fort Richardson National Cemetery.
National Cemeteries are truly special places to visit.
Have visited Arlington several times. Manila American Cemetary (Not a US National cemetary) twice. Incredibly well done. Golden Gate National Cemetary. TMI alert. Father, Grandfather and Great Grandfather interred there.
Not TMI !!!
“US, International press NOT invited. They have no reverence, at solemn events”
Very likely. Watch how he reacts to the press in Anchorage.

I think this helped Hitlary’s decision to adopt Halperin’s strategy.
OR……..
WOW…….
Hear me out……
We have it backwards. It’s a set-up for cover. Hitlary needing cover is why Hellperin and Morning Joke gave her cover.
Hitlary and the rest of the gang KNEW about this find. They strategized and Hitlary realized that she had to make herself more “untouchable” – SO – they came up with some cover for her doing so – to make it look like strategy from Halperin and Morning Joe – two of her reliable gophers.
This woman is doing everything to evade justice.
I think some of it is that Hillary has “bought in” to the idea that Trump really is vulnerable to ego, and that by stroking him, she can convince him to let her off the hook.
Cold, calculating, typical Hillary. The bitch is evil.
Exactly.
She needs her praise of Trump to be seen publicly as somebody else’s idea. “This is how we stop Trump.” So she buys cover to keep her popularity with the left (“she’s doing smart strategery against Trump! really!”) while actually trying to get Trump to go easy on her.
CCH – Cold Calculating Hillary.
The junior high school game-playing is exhausting.
Fortunately, the ‘appearances’ game only matters to dumbass Leftist boomers and their coterie of ass-kissers.
Just ignore all the play-acting nonsense and PROSECUTE them.

Good morning, C&C, it’s Saturday! It’s time for an abridged Weekend Edition, (it’s a travel day). Today’s roundup includes: the Trump-Putin meeting, for all the hoopla and falderol, is basically still going in slow motion; the New York Times earns a merciless mocking this week with a duo of all-out authoritarian op-eds while crying about Trump’s authoritarianism; and HHS fires up yet another vaccine safety group, terrifying pharma and its compliant media allies.
BLACKROCK CEO LARRY FINK IS NOW ALSO CO-CHAIR OF THE WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM:
https://jonfleetwood.substack.com/p/blackrocks-larry-fink-now-world-economic
15 August 2025
Yours Truly: Larry Fink and Andre Hoffmann are now the co-chairs of the WEF.
Andre Hoffmann is the great-grandson of the founder of the ROCHE drug company.
Hilarious! Can they be more obvious?
Wolf Moon
Yeah, the only way they could be more obvious, IMO, would be for both of them to eat a serving of roasted crickets and then drink a nice glass of “reclaimed” sewerage water — all on video.
Better might be if Larry Fink and this Hoffman person throw a televised banquet for their rich friends with invited heads of state as finely dressed servants carry in the afore mentioned roasted crickets and “sewerage water” along with heaping portions of lab grown meats so we could watch master class chow down in public.
Just think of the Indiana Jones scene in India when they brought out the bugs …
Oddly I had already been on this post and liked a few comments and went to add the C and C link. Had somehow been logged out and it wouldn’t let me.
Check for the next time this happens – it will likely be something like a week or X days. WordPress now automatically logs people out after so many days. It does it so fast that often the pages and tabs don’t keep up, and still say you’re logged in, when you’re not.
Whatever happened, it said my email or password was bad and had to ask for new one (reset). Saved the email and will check timing next time.
OK – so you had to reset. Wow. Let’s keep an eye on this. I have not had any problems with my password at all – just having to log in again periodically.
Oddly it allowed me to reset it to the same one.
That’s “good” – although not stringent enough under some circumstances. IMO a lot of security managers have decided (and I would tend to agree) that too-frequent password changes lead to more security problems than “keeping good passwords” does.
Me, too …
Thanks! A helpful data point!
When the World Chooses the Lie, Over the Truth
The world doesn’t stop to ask obvious questions. If Gaza were truly experiencing the scale of famine some claim, how are so many people visibly healthy? Why are there Instagram accounts for Gaza restaurants, showing upscale food? Why are Hamas leaders, living comfortably in Qatar, not using their millions to feed their people?
Because outrage, not accuracy, is the goal. The narrative is set: Israel must be blamed, no matter the evidence…
Well, lets see…
Okay, too far away to see if they are starved. Lets try again….
Okay those kids looked well fed, happy and rather polite… so let’s cross that one off.
Let’s see if we can find an open supermarket or restaurant maybe…?
Ackkk… too high. Might of been one there but let’s try something else…
Well that’s certainly not helping…Again!
Well, there you go. All lies… guess you were right.
Excuse me… were proving a point here….
Ahemmm… not what were looking for…
Yeah… No… PalPal stuff… and ignore the embedded BBC story.
See… clearly well fed.. and don’t bother trying to ask her nothing, she won’t be around come next week…
Again! Look every thing is just fine.
Oh BS! they have plenty of energy and carry bodies up and down stairs.. besides PalPal stuff.
Ah ha! Organized Fun.. who can do organized fun and be starved?
100% Pal Pal crap… Next!
.
Proves nothing… try again!
Proves Nothing! 😠 Just stop!
I say this in all seriousness; you should seek help.
My arguments are solid. This isn’t rocket science and it sure isn’t flat earth. It’s morale, it’s ethical and as such universal. I have no cause to stop until you guys get your mute button. The so called Chosen People were dragged kicking and screaming from their homes for much less.
“I have no cause to stop until you guys get your mute button.”
I have no plans to mute you, or anyone.
I have no need to. I don’t change my opinions based on hysterical propaganda.
And I meant what I said. You need something; I don’t know what, but something. Consider what you are doing. Your post above is manic, aggressive, and, in this environment, useless. That has been made clear. The founder and administrator of the site is spending weeks changing things just so people don’t have to read your propaganda. For most anyone, that would be humiliating, yet you carry on.
I’m not sure what trip you’re on, but it’s depressing to watch.
I’m going to argue against there being much if any upscale food left in Gaza.
Still, it’s war, and war is what the Pals need to experience until the hostages are freed. Sadly, Hamas will IMO never free the hostages, because they need the conflict to never end. They won’t rest until Israel is destroyed. Hamas will fight Israel to the last Palestinian or the last Hamas, whichever comes first.
Here is an excellent account to follow. The Hamas supporters absolutely hate it.
https://x.com/NoaMagid/status/1772206812143509637
More…..
Here is some context about why the aid trucks run, and why that soundtrack was added, although we don’t actually know who added it (I’m voting for Pallywood, personally).
Lest we forget. For years, we’ve read of “aid” being diverted to Hamas tunnels. Not allowed to flow to the people.
We have also read and watched from multiple sources that Bibi sent 1.4 Billion dollars to Qatar so that it could be sent to Hamas. What do you make of that?
Part of that money was to make sure the Palestinian Authority on the West Bank could not influence the elections in Gaza which were rigged in Hamas’s favor.
Some of that is talked in here by Jewish Historian in Israel along with West Bank troubles where an equal number of Palestinians are slowly being driven from their land in ways that no one here would ever put up with.
Could you put such LONG posts under a spoiler?
It was answered to GA/FL in kind. Had she used a spoiler I likely would have too. I try hard not to bring this stuff up as I said before, but I’m more than happy to provide responses to what I see. It does not take much for me to respond. There’s so much material which to post and I’m only a foot in to a 500ft hole.
Translation: Yes, if I have time to dump details into a spoiler, I will. 😊
499 feet of scrolling ahead. 
Spoiler would be appreciated.
Wondering. Were you ever in the Navy or Coast Guard?
No, it wasn’t in kind. GA/FL didn’t use most of the page to make her post. It was short.
War? Normally that is done by two opposing forces of similar stature. Hamas is light weapons only against a Tier 1 army. Not much of a war. That’s why all this should have been done with in the first few months. After that Hamas was no longer an effective force and could be easily swatted away should they come out of the city again. Calling it a war is just an excuse to continue grinding down Gaza and complete the ethnic cleansing.
As to hostages, some of the hostage families believe that Bibi is sabotaging the hostage negotiations to keep the war going. People have pointed at least two instances of this happening. Done first for appeasing his Zionist Coalition that want to see the The Greater Israel Project move forward. The other reason to stall investigations into alleged crimes as well as head off investigations into the 7th October event that might show Israel let down their guard on purpose and invited the attack as an excuse to rid Israel of Palestinians.
Grok says aid is being looted by desperate crowds. Why would desperate crowds loot aid 🤔
Perhaps because the aid is not getting to them? So they move up the street where the aid can first be had and then fight for it, because everyone else is doing the same thing?
They burned the aid truck, and burned the driver alive?
Why would anyone send any more aid after that?
The solution is simple.
Surround and blockade Gaza from every side.
Announce that no food and no water goes into Gaza until the People of Gaza kill every member of Hamas, bring their bodies to the border, and free the hostages.
Announce that there will be no further communication.
Then shut off all communication and wait for the hostages and the bodies of Hamas to be produced.
The People of Gaza will kill every last member of Hamas before they starve to death.
Or they won’t.
Either way, the problem is solved, the same way such problems have been solved since time immemorial.
Surround the city and starve them out.
The only evidence you have that they burned the driver alive is the writer of the post. We get a lot of that stuff in media coverage and always call it out unless …. well you know.
Gaza is already surrounded and blockaded from every side and has been since 1967. It’s also monitored and spied on by the most sophisticated military in the world.
They are so sophisticated that they detected the rehearsals for the 7 Oct attack days before it took place. However when reported up the chain of command… crickets.
This is an interesting thread claiming Israel was well aware of the tunnel networks built under Gaza and had a hand in allowing them to be set up.
@IsraelRadar_com
Shocking data reveals: Israel supplied Hamas with massive supply of raw materials to build huge tunnel network.
In the 9 years before October 7, Israel allowed some 500,000 trucks with construction materials to enter Gaza.

If you’re a mass murderer, and someone buys you a gun (which could be used for self-defense but also to kill people), and the store delivers the gun to your home knowing you’re a mass murderer and hoping it’s no big deal… yes, the store supplied you the gun.

The issue wasn’t “not knowing”. Israel was fully aware that Hamas was using some of the materials to build tunnels.
Israel misjudged the scope of the tunnels and generally underestimated the Hamas threat, figuring it wasn’t a big deal as we were much stronger than Hamas.

This was generally known, but the scope of the trucks and materials that went in was not widely published.

What’s shocking is that it happened.
Israel allowed massive construction materials into Gaza knowing full well that Hamas, which controls Gaza, is using at least some of them to build terror tunnels.
Ultimately, Israel supplied Hamas.

the people who can’t say no to “humanitarian aid” during a war following barbaric massacres are criticizing a prior peacetime administration for allowing it prior to the event.
“The only evidence you have that they burned the driver alive is the writer of the post. We get a lot of that stuff in media coverage and always call it out unless …. well you know.”
______________
The presumption of guilt lies with the guilty, who are easily identified in this case because they hold stolen property, namely, People.
It doesn’t matter if it’s Israel or the Paktawi tribe of Timbuktu.
If someone steals your People, you have the right to get them back by whatever means is necessary.
This is a universal code of human conduct, all the way back to Adam.
Which means every other issue, no matter how good it may be, is irrelevant, until the hostages are returned.
This is why stealing People from a neighbor who is much stronger than you is a really stupid thing to do.
But stupid is as stupid does.
The stupid people are in the position to release the stolen People at any time, and bring an end to hostilities. It’s their call, their option, they’re in the driver’s seat. Nobody else can do it for them, and they can do it at any time, with zero effort.
Until or unless they do, the only possible conclusion is that the stupid people want the hostilities to continue, so they will.
Until that dynamic changes, Israel — or any other nation whose People were stolen — has every right and reason to oblige the stupid people’s desire for hostilities to continue.
The simplicity of it is actually beautiful, in its own way.
I was thinking Israel should have adopted a similar solution from the beginning. They may have considered it, but calculated that it would take too long, without actually devastating as much of the internals as possible, but the problem there is that the original purity of “we’re just locking you up until you hand them over” disappears.
Israel has a plan.
I have some doubts.

Programming update.
I’ve chosen to use various site issues as learning exercises. One of those is the question of why guests can’t “like” comments (not posts – COMMENTS). I have found the core code in various places, and so far I can’t find any obvious bugs.
Let me ask a question, of people who are “guests” on the sister blogs. Are you able to “like” comments (not posts – COMMENTS) on those blogs?
I once could but can’t now (I just tried “liking” your comment).
Yes, you are not logged in, so you are temporarily a guest.
Try logging in using the link at the bottom of the sidebar, which is this link:
https://www.theqtree.com/wp-login.php?action=login
I tend not to be logged in here and have always been a guest. 🙂
Oh, now I remember! I had to remove your registered account because it somehow forced you into moderation until I got rid of the account and let you be a guest. It was Firefly whose registration we finally got to work.
Do you ever visit Marica’s place Pat’s place, Sylvia’s place, etc.?
They’re not on my trapline, although I appreciate when they post here from time to time.
Thanks! Just looking for test cases!
I can’t “like” a comment @ Marcia’s place, when I try it wants me to log in. I can post comments though.
OK, that helps. Do you have a WordPress.com password? That is what you would use to log into her place if you wanted to do so.
Thus, it appears that guests can no longer do “likes” on
theirthere, either.This must be core WordPress function, and not something in the JetPack or wpDiscuz plugins.
As I’m always a guest, I have never been allowed to “like” comments (@ Marica’s nor Sylvia’s) as far as I remember. I don’t have issues posting new comments or replying to comments.
Thank you – very helpful!
K1tt, I reply to you many times either at Sylvia’s blog, maybe at Marica’s? I believe you see them, and that I believe that is WordPress.
I tend to only have a quick comment here or at Sylvia’s. Let Wolf know.
Wolf, am I still signed here? I do see the bell…
Hi WSB I believe if you have an animal (currently a Wolverine) you are signed in at the Q-Tree 🙂
TY Valerie! I am normally OK with a bit of tech but somehow, things got dicey for a bit. All is fine now!
Whew 🙂
Hey, I see when you have responded at Sylvia’s because I get notifications on my emails about it.
TY, K1tt. All seems to be working as usual again. We have had some weird storms lately. That should not have interrupted service, yet I found everything to be a mess!
Lately, I have not been able to comment or like comments at our sister blogs.
You probably have to run scripts to comment there. As far as liking comments, it sure looks like guests can no longer do “likes” on WordPress, whether they use JetPack or wpDiscuz.
If you do ever decide to register here, it won’t involve leaving any more information than I already have for guests. Basically, the code grants more privileges to people with verified email addresses. That’s it. And because we have zero adware, the only security exposure is WordPress itself and our plugins, which are limited. But they already get everything for guests that they get for registered users, other than knowing that the email is valid.
Sadly, however, the price of likes looks to be registrations, and that explains why the wpDiscuz setting to let guests vote doesn’t work.
I can’t like anything at Marica’s, or even at Utree, but it works fine here.
Do you use your WordPress password there, to log in? I’m not sure how they have their sites configured. I know that U Tree is straight WordPress.com hosting, and if you log in with WP, you should be able to “like” stuff.
I think I use my screen name and password, because I am prompted to, every time I post a comment, just like I am at Utree.
And just like at Utree, even after I log in to post a comment, one time or ten times, I still can’t ‘like’ any posts.
Apparently you’re logged in here, and are registered (with Wolf status), but you must be a guest there.
Too bad, scott, you would be a hoot at Marica’s!

Sometimes things just don’t feel right, and you gotta bail 😂
LMAO!!!
I HATE that the pilot is sitting ‘FRONT’ of the wheel. I know. I know. All things considered in design.
It just looks weird.
And is this a real clip?
Yes. Numerous accounts on the Internet.
Very odd back center of gravity.
Thanks. Perfectly correct.
Just visually, it is not an expected weight balance to most human eyes.
Just say’in.
A cantilever. Always made me queasy!!! And I am a designer.
The human brain balance participation kicks in!
I do not know if you have ever been here.
It is a dusty old place that probably should have been torn down years ago.
TH and I went there in the 80’s.
It is a mess, but the place has something most wonderful and frightening.
The Infinity Room.
Crimes have probably been committed.
Before we demanded our money back, we did manage to step into this. After going through dusty old dolls moving as you move through the exhibit.
Holy crap!!!
And let me explain. It seems the owner of this Disney style of exhibition is the one that has the House On The Rock.
That, as I remember is how we got tickets from the one to the other.
https://www.thehouseontherock.com/
Just saying…this was the oddest place I have ever seen.
In context to Stew Leonard’s grocery store in CT. At Stew’s place, you also must move through his grocery store, just as one does through the queue lines at Disney World or The House on the Rock.
Just surreal.
Has anyone here ever been to either of these places?
I know, we could have our own opening!!!
These venues are just weird – human sheep sheering!!!
It is a riot. BUT, Stew’s has the best Bolognese sauce ever!!!
House on a rock. First I’ve heard of it. Odd as can be. At times seemed like something out of Vegas, which can also be odd as can be. Other times, a theme park.
Stew Leonard’s. Nah.
Short of visiting a store to purchase what I need, rainchecks are standard fare here. An old fart here. 😮
Better half, DW enjoys every store. So long as it’s not a HD or Lowe’s. 😂
Heading back to Sunday.
Stew’s has talking cows.
BUT, it is a pretty fun Disney style grocery store….
Visited the web site. DW would enjoy it.
Me, certainly coffee. And of course, pizza delivery as I wait in the truck. LOL.
It is a fabulous place!!!!
Please let me know what she thinks about it!
The idea is to escort someone on a wondering trip, through all aisles to purchase double that they would have otherwise.
Perfect! This is what Disney does!!!! Shopping mall while waiting for rides!!!
However, Stew’s has all wonderful groceries to sell, so once a month or two suffices.
The counter-attack is that one goes twice a year. Freeze the Bolognaise!!!!
DW would probably have a ball at Stew’s!!! It is kind of funny place with really good, local fresh goods. Look it up. Have her look at the website, and let me know!!
Talking cows with very fresh food!
PS One can always go backwards, without being taken out by Number One.
Wink.
I’ll send it to her.
…without being taken out. 😅 😂
We landed in Wisconsin. And I could not believe we were in cheese country. I know. Surreal.
Just maybe people need something else to do…in Wisconsin.
Oh PPS It’s kind of a wonderful peculiar travel logue, no?
Sort of like the tallest thermomenter?
Yup. Tourist places gotta have a hook of sorts.
Oh, yes, even in the heat of the desert.
I think I would have advertised and created a great bar called The Ice Chest.
And that visual could have been a great play on words!
Oh, I am at this point in time determining my brand and patent pending!
What the heck.
I know. But the woodwork is definitely NOT Vegas.
That is what is so weird about the place. And it is a definitely calculated engineering effort. I walked it to the edge of my height…quietly.
Maybe Steve is awake? LOL!!!!! Flat House.
Yea. Didn’t intend to imply it was Vegas, just reminded me of, the illusion Casino’s create with their indoor experiences.
That endless room, I’d sure go out as far as I could. Pretty cool, in a weird way.
Oh, no worries. Understood.
But yes, this is probably one of the oddest places I have ever been.
Other than a weird cocktail lounge in a WW2 airplane, I believe in New Zealand.
And crossing the Andes was a rather extreme thing to do as well.
But the weirdest one is the Infinity Room in Wisconsin!!!!!
What a hoot. Cheese curds and The Infinity Room!!!!
Next time you go, I vaguely remember a resort that has a really loaded Bloody Mary with a LOT of pickles olives, shrimp, bacon and other!!!
Cows and The Infinity Room!!!!
I can tell you, I got down as far as I could.
Then got a bit concerned. The engineering seemed to be solid and so different from the concession on the ground..the weird dolls and the Disney style crazy walk-through we started with.
So, tried as much as I wanted to and then…
Then it was time for a wonderful Wisconsin lunch!
Back on the ground!!!
Honestly, I am not frail about heights or speed, water, but this really was a bit weird!!!!
Interesting day in Wisconsin!!!
Exterior photo. House On The Rock. But attached to a Stew Leonard’s type of dark House of Horrors display before you can go through the turnstile. One way in…one way out. Really odd.
Like falling over the edge of a cliff. Anxiety dreams. You know.
Evening Prayer For Forgiveness
Heavenly Father, thank You for bringing me through this day and Lord, forgive me for the times when I have wandered outside Your best will for me, instead of trusting You implicitly.
Thank You, that You are such a gracious Shepherd to me and that You come and rescue me even when I lose my way and stray from the path that You have laid out for me.
As I look back over today, I know Lord that there were things that I should have said and done differently, and times when I reacted in a manner that was not honouring Your holy name. Forgive me I pray, but thank You, Father, that You always faithfully prepared to gently bring me back to Yourself.
Give me a good night’s sleep I pray, knowing that there is no condemnation because I am in Christ, and may I wake up in the morning refreshed and ready to do Your will. In Jesus’ name I pray,
Amen.

Good. Catch those thieves!!!
If the camera guy wasn’t so distracted by the tires, and had aimed the camera just a little higher, we could have seen the thieves’ faces!
This could be file footage by and of John Rich? Seems like Rich posted this.
I think John Rich did not want his family’s faces exposed.
Yes, I’m sure you’re right, I was just kidding… I was going for the laugh, by pretending to be an idiot (easy role for me!) 👍😂
Yeah but…😎
😁
And Monty Python was the best!
We did stuff like that all the time when I was in junior high school, high school and college.
If my friends and I were out together, sometime during the day or evening we would encounter some adult, and the opportunity to laugh our asses off would always magically appear 😂
One of us would see an opportunity to say or do something totally off, something really stupid, with a deadpan straight face, that would freeze the adult in their tracks.
As long as you kept a straight face, the adult couldn’t be sure if you were joking, or if you were just a complete idiot.
So the fun part was all your friends trying to keep a straight face and play along, as the whole encounter unfolded.
Because your friends all know, instantly, the moment the improv comedy begins, but they have to play it straight, in order to not give it away to the adult(s), that it’s a joke or a prank.
There’s no planning ahead, no announcement, you just see an opportunity and do it. You start, and everybody recognizes what you’re doing, and plays along.
The more idiotic the thing you could say or do, the better.
Eventually somebody in your group couldn’t take it anymore, and cracked up, and then everybody else did too, and then I would (or whoever was doing the prank).
Like the scene in Monty Python’s Holy Grail, where all the soldiers are trying to keep a straight face, while Caesar is going on and on about his good friend Bigus Dickus and his wife, Incontinentia Buttocks 🤣
We probably got half our ideas and all of our attitude from Mad Magazine, Animal House, Caddyshack, Blues Brothers, Stripes, Saturday Night Live, Fridays, SCTV and Monty Python 😁
Right there with ya!!!
I messed up, that scene with the soldiers trying to keep a straight face was from Monty Python’s The Life of Brian 😁
A most excellent movie!
I always figure you guys know when I’m kidding, like you’re in on it, like you’re playing along with me 👍😂

WNBA. 
Yep, it’s completely nuts. There’s the most obvious tranny on earth, Brett Griner. Then there are all the angry black lesbians (Jason Whitlock’s term) and anti-white racists.
Then for some reason all the coaches, team owners and league management hate Caitlin Clark and greenlighted hard fouling her until she was injured.
But then there’s Sophie. Indiana (Caitlin Clark’s team) got Sophie Cunningham during the off season, and Sophie makes watching the WNBA fun 😁
Sophie is a black belt, and apparently she got tired of watching Caitlin (and the whole team) being attacked by a bunch of thugs, and since the refs were doing nothing to stop it, she started dishing it out right back to them

What’s really going on here?
Obama’s Disgraced CIA Director John Brennan Follows Clinton’s Playbook — Calls for Trump to Get Nobel Peace Prize
Brennan made it seem unlikely, but still…
Hillary’s comment looks to me like a continuation of her false narrative of “Putin is bad and must be defeated. See, that’s why I was so concerned about Trump’s ties to Putin during the 2016 election.” All made up, of course, but that’s her story and she’s sticking to it.
Now Brennan. Are both of them using the Joe Scarborough playbook where they agree with Trump on some things? Or are they trying to appease Trump to avoid legal problems? This is so out of character for both of them, and for the Dems in general, that something is up. And especially because they are both dishonest liars.
OK, I see it now. They’re setting up to bitch that Trump is Putin’s lackey, and that will be part of their defense at trial.
Check this out, from Cankles…..
They both know that this is NOT going to be the case.
They are setting up a defense both in trial, and for lawfare after indictment. They are going to allege that “they were right – Trump is a tool of Putin.”
This is all about LAWFARE – but this time on defense.
Note that they are setting up to be free to bitch about the outcome – to side with Zelensky against anything negotiated with Russia.
BUT they are adopting a modified Morning Joe / Halperin strategy, where they lie like Beelzebubba and pretend to be on Trump’s side, only to recoil at the right time.
And Fox put Tarlov up to it to get the word out.
She’s the smartest of the leftwing
doofusesactors they have.Winner, winner, chicken dinner!
You get apple pie for dessert, too.
Fuck these motherfuckers.
Yup. they are playing the squirm and wriggle game – twist one way, then the other. Yank our chain to the left – then to the right – then back to the left.
I take its coming from a position of defense as a good sign.
Notice that the ENEMEDIA had not emphasized the FINE PRINT of the Cankles concession! They’re HELPING the scoundrels.
“They are going to allege that “they were right – Trump is a tool of Putin.””

Appropos of nothing, the NYPost featured this video showing how men of yesteryear looked so much older than men of the same age today. I found the photo evidence interesting. Several common-sense theories are presented as to why.

I have another theory. Wilder by far.
Adrenochrome.
OMG, this is a GREAT video!
Just fyi i dont think any MAN wants a pedro pascal or timothee chalamet action hero.
Certainly as a women, neither is appealing. A jihn wick is still appealing bc he beatsvthe hellnout of everyone for killing his dog.
The anti-testosterone movement is so WEF!
Archie Bunker… even a still photo of him always makes me laugh 😂
LOL!!! Me. too!
I didnt watch that show. Think i was too young. I did wstch some of Sanford n son though
I remember seeing it when I was little, over at my Grandma’s house, on her little 5″ or 6″ black and white TV, that I used to watch when I would go to sleep.
When I was little, we used to go to my Grandma’s for dinner every Friday night, and the adults (parents, aunts, uncles, Grandma) would always stay up late, so I would go to sleep in my Grandma’s bedroom and then my parents would carry me to the car when they were ready to leave.
Seems like I remember watching lots of old shows on that little TV, Sanford & Son, Kolchak: The Nightstalker (Darren McGavin), Gunsmoke, I Love Lucy, Hawaii 5-O, Columbo, etc. 👍😁
And I might have watched Archie Bunker in the afternoons sometimes when I was in junior high school, when I used to go to my Grandma’s after school most days to shoot baskets by myself or with a friend.
After I was done shooting baskets, I would go inside, have a bottle of Coke (green glass returnable Coke bottle!) and watch TV with my Grandma for an hour or so, usually M*A*S*H at 4:30 or 5 o’clock on weekdays.
Thats good that you were living close enough just to be there for a visit, even if its just tv. Theres something about that part of our lives when we we kids, for most people, that makes us feel safe. My grandma had one of the dinky tvs also but i could never get anything tuned in well.
The Florida truck driver that killed the 3 Americans is an illegal. I hope the feds go after the trucking company.!!!!!!
An illegal alien killed three Americans after he made an illegal U-turn on a Florida highway this week.
The Punjabi driver who obtained his truck driving license (CDL) in the Democrat-run sanctuary state of California made an insane U-turn on Florida’s Turnpike near Fort Pierce on Tuesday and caused a deadly crash.
The driver, identified as Harjinder Singh, was arrested and charged with 3 counts of vehicular homicide.
“At the conclusion of his state charges, he will be deported,” Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, Executive Director, Dave Kerner said.
The horrifying video shows Singh completely unbothered and unfazed after a minivan collided with his truck as he made an illegal U-turn.
Singh showed zero emotion after he exited the 18-wheeler and examined what was left of the vehicle – a pile of mangled metal and three dead bodies.

On Saturday evening, the Florida Highway Patrol announced that Harjinder Singh illegally entered the US in 2018 through Mexico and obtained his commercial driver’s license in California.
“State Troopers obtained a criminal arrest warrant for the driver, Harjinder Singh, for three (3) counts of vehicular homicide. During the course of this criminal investigation and with the assistance of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), State Troopers determined that Harjinder Singh entered the United States illegally, having cross the Mexico border in 2018. The Defendant then obtained a Commercial Driver’s License in the state of California. Under the federal authority delegated by ICE to FHP State Troopers through the 287 (g) program, State Troopers issued an ICE detainer,” FHP said.
“Three people lost their lives as a result of his recklessness, and countless friends and family members will experience the pain of their loss forever. Harjinder Singh is in custody on state vehicular homicide charges and immigration violations. He will no longer be able to damage and destroy the lives of Floridians and visitors,” Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, Executive Director, Dave Kerner said.
Horrible. Almost nothing left of the vehicle.
I saw a family vehicle in the breakdown lane almost hit by a Mexican trucker once. Guy behind the wheel was clearly drunk as a skunk. Lady was outside the vehicle standing right next to it – he must have been just 6 inches from her. One of the most white-knuckle things I’ve seen.
Yikes.
I was just reading at breitbart and came across this nugget in the comments:
“An Indian guy at my job said the Indian truck drivers are also transporting Cocaine across the country for drug dealers and the transactions happen at budget motels owned by Indians.”
That adds a new spin. Btw, motel 6 was just bought out by Indians in India, not the USA, and already not paying on contracts.
There will need to be adjustments.
Still missing you Steve…
