“We do not believe any group of men adequate enough or wise enough to operate without scrutiny or without criticism. We know that the only way to avoid error is to detect it, that the only way to detect it is to be free to inquire. We know that in secrecy error undetected will flourish and subvert.” –J. Robert Oppenheimer
Yes, it’s great that one of the most rancid cunts in US politics is destined to leave office on January 3rd of next year, having been primaried out…by a great big (but not big enough) margin.
But just remember…we might replace the RINO candidates. But that will make no difference in the long run if the party officials, basically the Rhonna McDaniels (or however that’s spelled), don’t get replaced.
State party chairs, vice chairs, secretaries and so on, and the same at county levels, have huge influence on who ultimately gets nominated, and if these party wheelhouses are RINOs, they will work tirelessly to put their own pukey people on the ballot. In fact I’d not be surprised if some of our “MAGA” candidates are in fact, RINO plants, encouraged to run by the RINO party leadership when they realized that Lyn Cheney (and her ilk) were hopelessly compromised as effective candidates. The best way for them to deal with the opposition, of course, is to run it themselves.
Running good candidates is only HALF of the battle!

I normally save this for near the end, but…basically…up your shit-kicking barbarian asses. Yes, barbarian! It took a bunch of sailors in Western Asia to invent a real alphabet instead of badly drawn cartoons to write with. So much for your “civilization.”
Yeah, the WORLD noticed you had to borrow the Latin alphabet to make Pinyin. Like with every other idea you had to steal from us “Foreign Devils” since you rammed your heads up your asses five centuries ago, you sure managed to bastardize it badly in the process.
Have you stopped eating bats yet? Are you shit-kickers still sleeping with farm animals?
Or maybe even just had the slightest inkling of treating lives as something you don’t just casually dispose of?

OK, with that rant out of my system…
Biden Gives Us Too Much Credit
…we can move on to the next one.
Apparently Biden (or his puppeteer) has decided we’re to blame for all of the fail in the United States today.
Sorry to disappoint you Joe (or whoever), but you managed to do that all on your own; not only that, you wouldn’t let us NOT give you the chance because you insisted on cheating your way into power.
Yep, you-all are incompetent, and so proud of it you expect our applause for your sincerity. Fuck that!!
It wouldn’t be so bad, but you insist that everyone else have to share in your misery. Nope, can’t have anyone get out from under it. Somehow your grand vision only works if every single other person on earth is forced to go along. So much as ONE PERSON not going along is enough to make it all fail, apparently.
In engineering school we’re taught that a design that has seven to eight billion single points of failure…sucks.
Actually, we weren’t taught that. Because it would never have occurred to the professors to use such a ridiculous example.
Justice Must Be Done.
The prior 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. Talking about trying again in 2022 or 2024 is hopeless otherwise. Which is not to say one must never talk about this, but rather that one must account for this in ones planning; if fixing the fraud is not part of the plan, you have no plan.

Rule one of gun safety: The gun is always loaded. 5a. If you actually want the gun to be loaded, like because you’re checking out a bump in the night, then it’s empty. 6. Rule two of gun safety: Never point the gun at anything you’re not willing to destroy. 7. Rule three: Keep your finger off the trigger until ready to fire. 8. Rule the fourth: Be sure of your target and what is behind it.

Spot Prices
All prices are Kitco Ask, 3PM MT Friday (at that time the markets close for the weekend).
Gold continues to drop…and the standard story is that it’s because the dollar looks attractive to the big financial weenies because the interest rate is climbing. And it’s trending up against the euro. Personally I think both are circling the drain, so something else is in play…conspiracy theories about big buyers forcing the price down are certainly not out of order.

China is in the White House
Since Wednesday, January 20 at Noon EST, the bought-and-paid for His Fraudulency Joseph Biden has been in the White House. It’s as good as having China in the Oval Office.
Joe Biden is Asshoe
China is in the White House, because Joe Biden is in the White House, and Joe Biden is identically equal to China. China is Asshoe. Therefore, Joe Biden is Asshoe.
But of course the much more important thing to realize:
Joe Biden Didn’t Win

SCOOP: a whistleblower has reached out to me at The Post Millennial about gender transition at Golisano Children's Hospital at the University of Rochester
The hospital attempted to scrub video of their promotion of their procedures, locking it on YouTube, but I found it.
In repeated interviews, speeches, and testimonies before Congress, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has insisted that our border with Mexico is closed and secure. He makes these statements even as one of his own agencies, Customs and Border Protection (CBP), released data showing more than 2 million illegal border crossings in the current fiscal year—a record. Such blatant disregard for the facts and the failure to execute the requirements of his position are the driving forces behind the growing support in Congress to impeach Mayorkas in the coming year.
Like Mayorkas, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre also insists that the border is secure. When asked by reporters to address the border crisis, she dogmatically reads verbatim talking points from a binder and rarely answers the question asked. On how the border is secure, Jean-Pierre responds that the administration has “secured record levels of funding” for the leviathan DHS.
On the topic of a border wall, Jean-Pierre and other White House apparatchiks are quick to respond that the administration has instead made investments in technology at the border. While there is certainly a role for many forms of technology assets at the border, immigration enforcement professionals have consistently asked for a significant, permanent barrier system at key points along the 1,954-mile southern border.
The U.S. government’s debt is 150 percent of the gross domestic product. The current inflation is just the first problem caused by the debt. If deficit spending continues, soon high interest rates and the decline of U.S. debt credit will follow. Instead of incrementally fixing the problem, austerity economics will be the outcome. The Greeks went through it in 2007 and 2008, and they will be the first to tell you it was no fun. Congress, and especially during sessions with Democratic majorities, bears much of the blame for this.
Modi and Abe are examples of a kind of politics supporters of the “America First” movement will recognize: one that advocates strengthening the nation’s reputation abroad by aggressively asserting its interests and refusing to countenance those who insist it should feel guilt over past, or even ongoing, actions. More recently, South Korea’s Yoon rode a wave of youth discontent, promising to assert Korea’s growing influence, praising right-wing strongmen of the past, and tackling the influence of both China and feminism. All three leaders—Abe, Modi, and Yoon—count among their domestic critics groups America Firsters will recognize: progressive politicians, liberal media institutions, and feminists.
While supporters of former president Trump may sense camaraderie with these three leaders, and share similar views of China’s rise, they must also be ready for a potential outcome that may not be to their liking. Good working relations between a future America First president and likeminded leadership in Tokyo, Delhi, and Seoul may lead to further American commitments in world affairs, including militarily and financially. An important consideration, especially as the definition of America First will be contested between now and the 2024 Republican nomination.
In his Farewell Address, he warned that the political parties are “truly the worst enemy” of popular government. They are a “frightful despotism” built on the “ruins of popular liberty.” They are animated by a “spirit of revenge.” They are “baneful.” Worst of all, the party system “opens the door to foreign influence and corruption.”

U.S. — Disney has chosen a bald actress to play Rapunzel in the upcoming live-action remake of Tangled. Director Guy Ritchie announced the casting at a press conference alongside Disney CEO Bob Chapek.
“We are thrilled to have this mega-talented bald actress joining us to star in this film,” said Ritchie. “She has long been an outspoken advocate for the alopecia community and we know she’ll lend her unique lived experience as a person of baldness to the iconic role of Rapunzel.”
Several fans were upset with the casting, pointing out that the actress is bald, while Rapunzel has hair. “I’m all for diversity,” said Disney fan Janet Cutler. “My pronouns are Xe / Xer. But this is a bit too far. Rapunzel is supposed to have hair. It’s sort of core to the entire story.”
Another Disney fan echoed the sentiment. “Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your hair,” said Disney fan Andrew Steeplechase. “That’s one of the key quotes in the story. I’m not sure that works as well with a bald Rapunzel.”
The US government admittedly engage in black and grey psyops via the CIA, and white psychological operations are carried out via the US MIL, predominantly the US Army. But the media and the Left want everyone to associate “psyops” with disinformation. Why? Because they are being exposed by the ongoing military psyop known as Q. We are in the middle of a propaganda war. This is informational warfare.
Also, I find it curious that Biden would PUBLICLY address this situation. He’s (allegedly) the Commander in Chief. He could have stopped any and all US MIL operations overnight the first day he stepped into office, behind closed doors, and we would never know anything about it. That is… unless he’s not actually in control of the US MIL.
All Biden is doing here is drawing attention to the fact that US MIL are conducting online psyops, and that Biden, The State Dept, and the CIA, don’t like it. The entities most commonly affiliated with Deep State corruption, PUBLICLY showing grievances regarding ongoing US MIL psyops… this is EXTREMELY abnormal. And PROVES that elements within the US MIL are not acting in accordance with Biden. It also confirms there is an ongoing information war between factions within the US government.
Both “sides” are telling the opposite story. But who’s telling the truth? Who do we trust?
Do we trust the State Dept, the CIA, the DNC, and their media lapdogs, who have been caught red-handed, lying for years about Trump, Russia, Mueller, Kavanaugh, Kids in cages, Jussie Smollett, Rittenhouse, Summer of love, “Mostly peaceful”, Ghost of Kyiv, Hunter Biden laptop being disinformation, “there are no biolabs in Ukraine”, etc., etc.? Damn near EVERYTHING the media and the Left have said for the past 6 years, has eventually turned out to be a flat out lie.
Or do we trust Trump and the US MIL (Q) that have been right about Trump, Russia, Ukraine, media corruption, human trafficking, Epstein, NXIVM, Hollywood, widespread elite pedophilia, FBI, DOJ, CIA, the Southern border, C19, social media Orwellian activity, etc.? The list goes on and on.
Ratcliffe suspects the documents are essentially the DOJ and FBI work products, including interviews with ‘sources’ like Igor Danchenko, from their fabricated case against President Trump. If accurate, the objective of the DOJ/FBI would be to avoid sunlight on their political targeting operation. This viewpoint makes sense when you consider the DOJ/FBI position that no one should ever be allowed to look at those documents, including the appointed Special Master in the case, Judge Raymond Dearie.
How? Just exactly how? If President Trump was really doing such a thing, wouldn’t we see it highlighted on MSDNC? Seriously, I used to sit next to a woman in the Symphony Chorus who self identified as an Atheist Jew who thought the “TEA Party people” were violent, and didn’t think it odd that there was no video to support the idea. She was a Chris Mathews groupie.
That elected officials and high-ranking bureaucrats could so venomously condemn half the country as veritable enemies of the State is an inexcusable rhetorical escalation against American citizens. Is this or is this not the “land of the free”? Do Americans still have the right to disagree, debate, and speak freely? Are we no longer “allowed” to dissent publicly from the officially held positions of the federal government and its officeholders? How exactly does “democracy,” as White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre recently claimed, require denouncing all contrarian viewpoints as unacceptably “extreme”? Are we not “permitted” to express thoughts unless they are first approved by the State?
If a Democrat party emissary or any of the Democrats’ corporate news media sycophants ever deigned to attend a Trump rally or speak to actual MAGA voters, that rubbernecker would find some of the most pro-American patriots in the country. Filled with military veterans and civilian law enforcement officers, their families, and their supporters, it would be impossible to find a less likely group of “insurrectionists.” That so many Americans who have put their lives on the line in defense of their country could be called “terrorists” and “traitors” shocks the conscience. That Americans who proudly wave the American flag and sing “The Star-Spangled Banner” with glee could be targeted as “extremists” undermines precisely what it means to be selflessly patriotic. That the highest officers of the U.S. government could equate the 9/11 terrorists with so many Americans who actually put their lives on hold twenty years ago and ran into battle half a world away to make sure no 9/11 attack would ever happen again is outrageously disrespectful to every family who lost a loved one in those wars and utterly revolting to every servicemember who made it home.
Just what is so condemnable about MAGA Americans, anyway? Is it their resistance to an economic globalism that has wildly benefited Wall Street and foreign adversaries these last three decades while destroying blue-collar manufacturing towns from coast to coast? Does supporting the creation of Main Street wealth over the protection of international investment bank profits make one “extreme”? Is it really too much for helpless Americans to demand that the federal government enforce its own immigration laws at the Southern border and, by doing so, cripple the rampant drug- and sex-trafficking and devastating violent crime anguishing families and towns throughout the country? Is struggling to keep your children and community safe now the hallmark of a “racist”? Is it somehow un-American for MAGA voters to oppose public schools’ unilateral decisions to indoctrinate their children with the tenets of Critical Race Theory, transgenderism, and other highly contentious school curricula? When did the State seize more authority over America’s children than their parents? Why should Marxism and pornography replace morality and religion? Why must Americans heed every new stricture of “political correctness” promulgated by Democrats and their media allies to avoid being socially ostracized, punished, or fired? If everyone must believe everything Democrats believe, how can any American ever be truly free?
“Previous generations did a great job passing along peace, prosperity, leisure, entertainment and progress in medicine, science and technology. But along the way, previous generations passed on all the wants of the world and not enough of the needs. They took for granted the main ingredient that underwrites all of those worldly advancements. And that is faith.”
The venerable David Shor has smartly suggested that Democrats would be wise to embrace, what he calls, “popularism,” the idea that bread-and-butter issues like the economy and immigration, rather than woke pet-projects, are more conducive to winning elections. Still, it is unclear whether the post-modernist left will prioritize pragmatism and common good over ideology.
Conservatives must seize this moment. While it’s also true that the right has its own internal fissures, pointing out inconsistencies on the Left should be a unifying effort. We cannot let the Left get away with blatantly obvious doublespeak on the campaign trail. J.D. Vance, much to his credit, has repeatedly made a point of emphasizing Tim Ryan’s politically expedient flip-flopping. The Left, in more ways than one, is dysphoric. For conservatives not to campaign on this would be negligent and dumb.
As reported in Common Dreams, “Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said… that the U.S. central bank is ready to inflict ‘pain’ on households as it continues to fight inflation, remarks that drew widespread backlash from experts who warned the Fed appears poised to spark a devastating recession and mass layoffs.”
The Federal Reserve – the privately owned central bank of the U.S. – wants to screw us all some more. So the Fed claims it’s raising interest rates to fight inflation, but that isn’t why they’re doing it. The truth is it doesn’t care that much about inflation, which is caused by corporate greed. What it really wants to fight against is worker power.
The point is, workers have the power right now, and corporate America does not. And now we have proof that corporate America – which owns our government – wants to turn this all around immediately.
Getting a head start on the narrative for the next election:
Many of the same factors in the same battleground states are at play in 2022, starting with races that could have very slim margins. Add in the continued popularity of mail voting and state laws in Pennsylvania and elsewhere that can delay processing of those ballots, and the chance of another waiting game is distinct — possibly with control of the Senate up in the air.
Yes, and We the People are rather frustrated with this.
Current and former FBI agents tell The Washington Times that the perceived threat has become overblown under the administration. They say bureau analysts and top officials are pressuring FBI agents to create domestic terrorist cases and tag people as White supremacists to meet internal metrics.
“The demand for White supremacy” coming from FBI headquarters “vastly outstrips the supply of White supremacy,” said one agent, who spoke on the condition of anonymity. “We have more people assigned to investigate White supremacists than we can actually find.”
The agent said those driving bureau policies “have already determined that White supremacy is a problem” and set agencywide policy to elevate racially motivated domestic extremism cases as priorities.
“We are sort of the lapdogs as the actual agents doing these sorts of investigations, trying to find a crime to fit otherwise First Amendment-protected activities,” he said. “If they have a Gadsden flag and they own guns and they are mean at school board meetings, that’s probably a domestic terrorist.”
In spite of his indifference to politics as such, he did often give prescient analyses of a variety of social and political topics. One example is Lewis’ sharp criticism of what he termed “the omnicompetent state,” that is, the modern welfare state that promises a universal curative for all of society’s ills.
He saw it as antithetical to human freedom and the institutions that preserve it, and instead favored a regime of limited government. He was suspicious of technological advancement, but only because he thought technology in the hands of the omnicompetent state would result in widespread, pervasive tyranny. He noted that the lure of the welfare state is understandable in the face of seemingly limitless human suffering, yet he exhorted his readers to be wary of the purveyors of “utopian dreams.” He instead promoted the good actions of responsible individual citizens engaging the challenge of living in a fallen and dark world, stating, “the art of life consists in tackling each immediate evil as well as we can.”
Lewis expressed concern that the modern state could undermine human freedom and dignity should policymakers adopt a modern social science approach to governance. He also doubted the ability of any government to permanently reshape and subordinate a nation’s citizenry. Lewis viewed government overreach parading as scientific governance as the major threat to human freedom in modern society in our times.

WESTMINISTER ABBEY — President Joe Biden has flown across the Atlantic Ocean to pay his final respects to Queen Elizabeth the II and give her one last good sniff.
According to sources, with hundreds of world leaders and dignitaries gathered around for the Queen’s grand state funeral, President Joe Biden got up unannounced and made his way straight for the Queen’s casket.
“Goodbye, Queen Elizabeth. I’ll never forget you or your royal scent,” said President Joe Biden with a great, and powerful sniff while leaning down into the Queen’s casket. “Ahhh, even better than ol’ Joey remembered.”

WHEATIE – OUR WARRIOR ANGEL

Please forgive us, Wheatie, we did not know That you had left us with armor in tow We had no idea with what you dealt We did not know the pain you felt And now we can only imagine With you what really did happen Cause rarely did you complain And/or share your personal pain Of one thing we are most certain You are flying high behind the curtain Watching over us above the crowds Our Warrior Angel above the clouds Thank You, Wheatie, for caring for us While you were here among the fuss We miss you dear you have no idea Since time began in the pangaea With you there was no time In your wisdom you would chime To clarify and magnify The what where how and why We did not question when you left We were not slightly bereft But over time we wondered why You did not at least stop by Now we know where you have gone With the break of this new dawn We could be angry but are not Tho with an arrow we’ve been shot Rest peacefully Warrior Angel dear Send us a sign that you are near A butterfly a flower a kiss of rain From your love do not refrain God sends Angels to watch over us And now we have an Angel Plus A Warrior Angel of Magnificence From today and forward hence
Boilerplate, more or less, but worth reading again and again, if only for the minor changes, and to stay out of moderation.
The bottom line is Free Speech. Theories and ideas you don’t agree with must be WELCOME here, and you must be part of that welcoming. But you do NOT need to be part of any agreement.
Bottom line – respect other people’s FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS.
Our only additional requirement is that you do so NICELY. Or at least try to make some effort in that direction.
SO….. [ENGAGE BOILERPLATE…..]
We must endeavor to persevere to love our frenemies – even here.
Those who cannot deal with this easy requirement will be forced to jump the hoops of moderation, so that specific comments impugning other posters and violating the minimal rules can be sorted out and tossed in the trash.
In Wheatie’s words, “We’re on the same side here so let’s not engage in friendly fire.”
That includes the life skill of just ignoring certain other posters.
We do have a site – The U Tree – where civility is not a requirement. Interestingly, people don’t really go there much. Nevertheless, if you find yourself in an “argument” that can’t really stay civil, please feel free to “take it to the U Tree”. The U Tree is also a good place to report any technical difficulties, if you’re unable to report them here. Please post your comment there on one of Wolf’s posts, or in reply to one of Wolf’s comments, to make sure he sees it (though it may take a few hours).
We also have a backup site, called The Q Tree as well, which is really The Q Tree 579486807. You might call it “Second Tree”. The URL for that site is https://theqtree579486807.wordpress.com/. If this site (theqtree.com) ever goes down, please reassemble at the Second Tree.
If the Second Tree goes down, please go to The U Tree, or to our Gab Group, which is located at https://gab.com/groups/4178.
We also have some “old rules” and important guidelines, outlined here, in a very early post, on our first New Year’s Day, in 2019. The main point is not to make violent threats against people, which then have to be taken seriously by law enforcement, and which can be used as a PRETEXT by enemies of this site.
In the words of Wheatie, “Let’s not give the odious Internet Censors a reason to shut down this precious haven that Wolf has created for us.”
A Moment of Prayer
Our policy on extreme religious freedom on this site is discussed HERE. Please feel free to pray and praise God anytime and anywhere.
Thus, please pray for our real President, the one who actually won the election.
You may also pray for our nation, our world, and even our enemies.
Musical Interlude
In the fashion of posts by our dearly departed sister Wheatie, let’s have some music to soothe, inspire, invigorate, or relax.
This one was a GREAT find – one of Wheatie’s favorite composers – posted on YouTube on the Qth of June this year, while we were actively looking for her, and right before I posted about what Aubergine and I had discovered.
Somebody’s liking this one! Talk about some EPIC background for our movie!

I started working on this, and realized I was editing last week’s post, not copying a new one. I’ve had a long week, and mourned a friend all day Thursday. Please, lift a Crown Royal on the rocks in his honor when you have the chance. Bill was a great guy.
Archbishop Vigano gave an interview. This is more about the state of the Church than politics, but some might find it interesting.
A new report by top medical journal the Lancet says it’s “feasible” that the COVID-19 virus actually originated from a laboratory in the United States.https://t.co/TOUq7pbQUD
If the FBI shows up at your door, or your mom’s, or a friend’s, “just to chat” — get their business cards and then don’t speak to them, without first seeking the advice of counsel, who will ideally reach out and arrange a mutually convenient time and preparation. You’re welcome.

"I tell you this when we get in charge, we're going to change the rules. And you will have to divulge where you get your royalties from, from what companies, and if anybody on the committee has a conflict of interest, we're going to learn about it. I promise you that." pic.twitter.com/k0O6wVmLNt
The freak out at Martha’s Vineyard (80% Democrats) shows that intaking even a small number of migrants is a difficult issue. And one can want border security without being xenophobic.
It took just 50 illegal aliens landing in Martha's vineyard to get liberals to have a full-on blowing into a brown paper bag panic attack and to start comparing a taxpayer funded charter jet island trip to the Holocaust.
The discourse on this site is to be CIVIL – no name calling, baiting, or threatening others here is allowed. Those who are so inclined may visit Wolf’s other sanctuary, the U-Tree, to slog it out. There is also a “rescue” thread there for members of the Tree to rendezvous if the main site goes kablooey. A third site has been added for site outages of longer duration.
This site is a celebration of the natural rights endowed to humans by our Creator as well as those enshrined in the Bill of Rights adopted in the founding documents of the United States of America. Within the limits of law, how we exercise these rights is part of the freedom of our discussion.
Fellow tree dweller the late Wheatie gave us some good reminders on the basics of civility in political discourse:
No food fights.
No running with scissors.

12Now if Christ is preached as raised from the dead, how can some of you say that there is no resurrection of the dead? 13But if there is no resurrection of the dead, then Christ has not been raised; 14if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain and your faith is in vain. 15We are even found to be misrepresenting God, because we testified of God that he raised Christ, whom he did not raise if it is true that the dead are not raised. 16For if the dead are not raised, then Christ has not been raised. 17If Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile and you are still in your sins. 18Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished. 19If for this life only we have hoped in Christ, we are of all men most to be pitied. 20But in fact Christ has been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who have fallen asleep.

I actually am not sure where to start today, as the information out there on the mainstream media says one thing, and the various Q Telegram channels are essentially laying out how The Plan is coming together before our very eyes. Some of the claims are pretty out there, I will admit. However, there is one thing to keep in mind as we are still in FF season. Monday is 9-19. That’s the last nine and one combination in the month. That is also the day of Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral at Westminster Abbey. Consider this from Anonymous Conservative:
Foreign heads of state and their spouses heading to London for the state funeral for Queen Elizabeth II have been asked to arrive in the U.K. on commercial flights and banned from using helicopters to get around.
No private jets, no helicopters, and a bus to Westminster Abbey: VIP guidance for queen’s funeral… Documents obtained by POLITICO reveal strict protocol rules for foreign dignitaries.
World leaders have also been told they cannot use their own state cars to attend the funeral at Westminster Abbey on September 19 — and will instead be bussed in en masse from a site in west London, according to documents obtained by POLITICO revealing strict protocol rules.
Official documents obtained by POLITICO also confirm that only the heads of state and their spouses or partners from each country have been invited to attend the funeral, which is shaping up to be one of the greatest diplomatic events of the century so far.
According to the same document, King Charles III will host a reception for all the overseas leaders at Buckingham Palace on the evening before the funeral service. Visiting heads of state will be able to attend the lying-in-state of the queen’s body…
… and sign the condolence book at Lancaster House immediately afterward. While at Lancaster House, foreign leaders will be able to deliver a tribute to the late queen lasting up to three minutes, which will be recorded for the media.
After the funeral service, foreign leaders will be escorted on foot to Dean’s Yard, still within the grounds of the abbey, to attend a reception hosted by Foreign Secretary James Cleverly, after which they will return by coach to west London to collect their cars.
I am probably too optimistic, but it has a little of the feel of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman saying he was holding an economic conference, and everybody should go to the auditorium, unarmed, and don’t worry about all the Blackwater contractors standing around all the doors.
Yeah, if I were a head of state, I’d just send flowers.
And then this was linked to one of the aggregator sites:
What in the world are they planning to do on September 24th, 2022? As you will see below, a member of the German legislature is openly warning that September 24th will be a day when everyone will remember “exactly where he or she was”. Needless to say, those days don’t come along very often. For those that were alive at the time, the death of John F. Kennedy was one of those days. And certainly 9/11 was one of those days. But off the top of my head I can’t really think of too many others. I can remember what I was doing when Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans in 2005, and the Russian invasion of Ukraine earlier this year was definitely a major turning point. Beyond that, there just aren’t too many days that fall into this category.
That is why something that a member of the German parliament just said seems so odd…
“Everyone will not forget September 24, 2022 and everyone will know exactly where he or she was”
Why?
That’s a Saturday. People may want to take that into consideration when moving about that day.
On the Mar-A-Lago raid front, an interesting Substack was in some feed somewhere:
This raid on Mar-a-Lago…the filter team, the request to appoint a special master…this is ALL such good news.
Think BIG PICTURE.
We now have precedents set for search warrants being served on:
Major Media (Project Veritas)
A President’s Former Attorney (Cohen)
A Former President’s Attorney (Rudy)
A Former President’s Residence (Mar-a-Lago)
Filter team and Special Master used in each.
It’s a TEMPLATE.
Template- a gauge, pattern, or mold; something that establishes or serves as a pattern.
A template for how to go after the Clintons, Obama, their attorneys, and the media who assisted them in their crimes against the United States and We the People.
A template for how to go after [THEM].
This is a summation. The rest of it is a SD-style compilation of information that leads to the conclusion, and is really worth a read, IMO.
President Trump’s reaction to the Department of Injustice’s objection to a special master for the documents confiscated at Mar-A-Lago.
Former President Donald Trump has struck back at the Department of Justice in a blistering 21 page court filing.
The filing came on Monday as the former president dismissed the FBI seizing documents from his Mar-a-Lago residence as a “misguided storage dispute,” The Daily Mail reported.
The former president’s attorneys praised US District Judge Aileen Cannon’s decision to pause the review of his documents as they await the appointment of a special master as a “sensible preliminary step towards restoring order from chaos.”
“In what at its core is a document storage dispute that has spiraled out of control, the Government wrongfully seeks to criminalize the possession by the 45th President of his own Presidential and personal records,” the filing said.
Now we turn to today. Lawyers for President Trump submit a responsive filing to counter the DOJ effort to stay court order for a ‘special master.’ [Motion pdf Here].
The position of the DOJ-NSD, a position that should be considered in alignment with the ODNI, is that no outsider should be permitted to review their work product. The DOJ does not want a court appointed special master to review what they are unilaterally declaring as “classified national security documents.”
For those on the fence about Sundance, it seems President Trump reads his stuff.

That none of these investigations EVER finish with Trump getting indicted, DOJ just moves on to investigate the next Trump sting! https://t.co/Wsmnz6xSjU
The most valuable lesson that twitter has taught me is this; It will be fellow Catholics who turn us radicals into the gulags. Not secular Marxists, or sodomites. Not evangelical conservatives, or groomers.
Remember when cities removed swings from playgrounds? A friend of mine in another state watched a couple get arrested in front of their kids for playing in an open field by themselves (there was a sign posted, but it was tiny and they didn’t see it).
Burn the name "Shanghai Cooperation Organization" into you mind now. It's the Chinese version of NATO.

Of course, this does not mean committing felonies, but standing up to the forces that want to tear this nation – and humanity apart. The very people XVII told us will be destroyed by the time this movie comes to an end are currently roaming the halls of power…supposedly. It’s a sickening sight.

By now, I have learned to keep my reactions pretty close to my chest. There is such a thing as reacting too soon before more information is released, and it’s easy to make assumptions if you don’t see the whole picture. There’s power in observation.
1Make a joyful noise to the LORD, all the lands! 2Serve the LORD with gladness! Come into his presence with singing! 3Know that the LORD is God! It is he that made us, and we are his; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. 4Enter his gates with thanksgiving, and his courts with praise! Give thanks to him, bless his name! 5For the LORD is good; his steadfast love endures for ever, and his faithfulness to all generations.
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, Prince of the Heavenly Hosts, by the power of God, cast down to Hell Satan and all his evil spirits, who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.

As always, prayers for the fight against that which seeks to enslave us are welcome. Via con Dios.
LONDON — In his first official royal decree, King Charles has replaced Meghan and Harry in the line of succession with two of the late Queen’s corgis.
“Fluffy here shall immediately assume the title of Duke,” said Charles, presenting the corgi with a scepter. “There now! Who’s a good future King of England?”
The nation of England erupted into celebration upon hearing the news. “After the sadness of the past week, it feels good to have something to be happy about,” said citizen Gerald Funderburk. “The thought of the monarchy falling into the hands of Harry or Meghan, those blithering idiots…we can all rest a little easier tonight knowing the kingdom will be in good hands. Or paws.”
This Stormwatch Monday Open Thread remains open – VERY OPEN – a place for everybody to post whatever they feel they would like to tell the White Hats, and the rest of the MAGA/KAG/KMAG world (with KMAG being a bit of both).
And indeed, it’s Monday…again.
But we WILL get through it!
Maybe even shedding some…. light on the subjects at hand!
And we will have fun doing it, too!
HOLD ON!

Boilerplate, more or less, but worth reading again and again, if only for the minor changes, and to stay out of moderation.
The bottom line is Free Speech. Theories and ideas you don’t agree with must be WELCOME here, and you must be part of that welcoming. But you do NOT need to be part of any agreement.
Bottom line – respect other people’s FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS.
Our only additional requirement is that you do so NICELY. Or at least try to make some effort in that direction.
SO….. [ENGAGE BOILERPLATE…..]
We must endeavor to persevere to love our frenemies – even here.
Those who cannot deal with this easy requirement will be forced to jump the hoops of moderation, so that specific comments impugning other posters and violating the minimal rules can be sorted out and tossed in the trash.
In Wheatie’s words, “We’re on the same side here so let’s not engage in friendly fire.”
That includes the life skill of just ignoring certain other posters.
We do have a site – The U Tree – where civility is not a requirement. Interestingly, people don’t really go there much. Nevertheless, if you find yourself in an “argument” that can’t really stay civil, please feel free to “take it to the U Tree”. The U Tree is also a good place to report any technical difficulties, if you’re unable to report them here.

Wolfie’s Wheatie’s Word of the DayYear Week:
interglacial
adjective, noun
occurring between glacial epochs or ice ages
a period between glacial epochs or ice ages
Used in a Sentence (Or Two) in Both Senses:
An interglacial period (or alternatively interglacial, interglaciation) is a geological interval of warmer global average temperature lasting thousands of years that separates consecutive glacial periods within an ice age. The current Holocene interglacial began at the end of the Pleistocene, about 11,700 years ago. (Wikipedia)

Okay, so before the show started on Thursday with the “death watch and rushing to the queen’s side” of the Mountbatten offspring, something caught my eye:
Sometimes, there's a chart that just blows your hair back.
In 22 years of doing this, none stand out like this one.
Last week, institutional traders bought $8.1 billion worth of put options. They bought less than $1 billion in calls.
Yes, the ANNOUNCEMENT of the queen’s death, whenever it actually happened since multiple “insiders” claim she’s been gone two or three years, is a marker.
In addition, something else curious popped up. It seems Jorge Bergoglio, aka Francis the talking mu…, uh the guy in white, has nothing on his calendar after September 30 according to a traditionalist Catholic who is really rather a normie.
Hmm….
And to top it off on 9-10 and 9-11 there is a full moon.
All of this is SEEMINGLY unrelated…and then one looks at the deltas of the “Red October” XVII drops:
There are about a dozen in all. Almost all of them are between September 27 and October 8.
Are we there? Stay tuned.
I’m just going to clear the tabs, etc., and toast the truck mechanic who drove herself to Church regardless of what the conspiracy sites had to say about the Queen over the years. I mean, she gave birth to Prince Edward at home without pain killers. That says something about the woman.
Western District of Missouri Federal Court, which has jurisdiction over Agape Boarding School, sealed up so many criminal cases in the past 7 days I literally can't fit them on a single screen.

Here ya go, bro!
Word to the wise. Never defend Nazis, and never defend the defenders of Nazis!
Just remember that THEIR FREE SPEECH is YOUR FREE SPEECH.
Idiots.
Joe Biden didn’t win.
And we will keep saying Joe Biden didn’t win until we get His Fraudulency out of our White House.
Wolfie’s Wheatie’s Word of the DayYear Week:
brisance
noun
the shattering effect of the energy released in an explosion.
the shattering capability of a high explosive, determined mainly by its detonation pressure.
Etymology:
The term can be traced from the French verb “briser” (to break or shatter) ultimately derived from the Celtic word “brissim” (to break).
Related adjective – brisant
having a shattering effect.
Used in a sentence:
RDX (also known as hexogen) is stable in storage and is considered one of the most energetic and brisant of the military high explosives.
Eventually, German pilots developed new tactics to counter Allied bombers. Me 262s, equipped with up to 24 unguided folding-fin R4M rockets—12 in each of two underwing racks, outboard of the engine nacelles—approached from the side of a bomber formation, where their silhouettes were widest and while still out of range of the bombers’ machine guns, fired a salvo of rockets with strongly brisant Hexogen-filled warheads, the same explosive in the shells fired by the Me 262A’s MK 108 cannon. One or two of these rockets could shoot down even the famously rugged Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress, from the “metal-shattering” brisant effect of the fast-flying rocket’s 520 g (18 oz) explosive warhead. The much bigger BR 21 large-calibre rockets, fired from their tubular launchers under the nose of the Me 262A (one either side of the nosewheel well) were only as fast as MK 108 rounds.
Though this broadside-attack tactic was effective, it came too late to have a real effect on the war and only small numbers of Me 262s were equipped with the rocket packs; most were Me 262A-1a models, of Jagdgeschwader 7. This method of attacking bombers became the standard and mass deployment of Ruhrstahl X-4 guided missiles was cancelled. Some nicknamed this tactic the Luftwaffe’s Wolf Pack, as the fighters often made runs in groups of two or three, fired their rockets, then returned to base. On 1 September 1944, USAAF General Carl Spaatz expressed the fear that if greater numbers of German jets appeared, they could inflict losses heavy enough to force cancellation of the Allied bombing offensive by daylight.

There are several instances where Facebook wouldn’t proceed with censoring freedom of speech on their platform until they had input, or a “debunking” from the CDC. Twitter followed the same course in at least one email. pic.twitter.com/9alXrgvq6P
A senior FB official sent an email to the Surgeon General stating, “I know our teams met today to better understand the scope of what the White House expects from us on misinformation going forward.” This email chain follows the SG’s “misinformation health advisory” in July 2021. pic.twitter.com/M4YuTC6vGa
President's speech lasted 24 long minutes. Not much of substance. Donald Trump is a fascist and so are people who support him. Networks did not take the speech nor did Fox News. Young Sheldon and Tucker kept their forums. Column on this tomorrow on https://t.co/rryWmyXe7C.
Recently, former CIA director Michael Hayden implied on Twitter that former President Donald Trump should be executed for violating the Espionage Act. After MSNBC contributor Michael Beschloss suggested in a tweet that Trump should be executed like the Rosenbergs for giving U.S. nuclear secrets to Moscow in 1953, Hayden retweeted: “Sounds about right.”
It was a year ago almost to the day that Hayden retweeted a meme comparing Trump-supporters to the Taliban in Afghanistan. The retweet occurred at the same time the Taliban were overrunning Kabul in August 2021. This helps to explain a lot in terms of Hayden’s total lack of self-awareness on Twitter, but it fails to help us understand exactly what’s behind the retweet that suggested that Trump should be executed.
If you listen to the Left, parents of public school students are right-wing extremists because they don’t want their children to learn perverse sex, drag queenery, masturbation, pedophilia, and an America Sucks ideology. Parents don’t want their children to be taught to hate people with different skin color. Does that make the parents extremists? Apparently so: Parents have been labeled by the National Schools Boards Association as domestic terrorists, although the NSBA later apologized for the terminology.
Merrick Garland seconded the motion about labeling parents as domestic terrorists by threatening to set his DoJ dogs on parents who object to what their kids are being taught in public schools. So I guess that parents who actually get involved in their children’s education by showing up to protest are now threats to our democracy.
Unfortunately, many of the very people responsible for losing the Senate last cycle are now trying to stop us from winning the majority this time by trash-talking our Republican candidates. It’s an amazing act of cowardice, and ultimately, it’s treasonous to the conservative cause. Giving anonymous quotes to help the Washington Post or the New York Times write stories trashing Republicans is the same as working with the Democratic National Committee.
If you want to talk about the need to raise more money to promote our candidates versus the Democrats’ terrible candidates, I agree. If you want to trash-talk our candidates to help the Democrats, pipe down. That’s not what leaders do. And Republicans need to be leaders that build up the team and do everything they can to get the entire team over the finish line.
Ultimately, though, when you complain and lament that we have “bad candidates,” what you are really saying is that you have contempt for the voters who chose them. Now we are at the heart of the matter. Much of Washington’s chattering class disrespects and secretly (or not so secretly) loathes Republican voters.
That op ed by Senator Rick Scott got praise from OT:
It is refreshing to see a republican politician taking the arrogance of the McConnell crew to task. It is even more refreshing to see Senator Scott use the atomic sledgehammer of truth:
Prior to legalization, marijuana plants were bred to produce higher and higher concentrations of THC, a naturally occuring chemical compound in the plant that induces euphoria and alters users’ perceptions of reality. In the 1960s, the stuff the hippies were smoking was less than 2% THC. By the ’90s, it was closer to 5%. By 2015, it was over 20%. “It’s a freak plant that resembles nothing of what has existed in nature,” said Laura Stack, a public speaker who has advocated against the industry since her son, Johnny, killed himself three years ago at 19 years old after years of cannabis abuse drove him into psychosis.
A number of gay people who spent years trying to convince Americans that they were just normal people who deserve to be part of America, with jobs, homes and families like anyone else, worry that all their efforts are being destroyed by the “Trans” people, who are taking over their movement and becoming the public face of it
Plato, of course, was targeting the Athenian democracy, and its presumption that ordinary citizens have the capacity to govern, even though they lack the philosophical knowledge that shows what is good for people and the city they inhabit––not power, conquest, wealthy, or the pleasures of the body, but the virtue that comes from philosophical study. In other words, a technocratic oligarchy that Plato called “guardians” in his imagined perfect government.
For over a century the West has been evolving into such a government, whether it be socialism, communism, or the progressivism that has increasingly dominated our technocratic “managerial elite” and the numerous executive agencies staffed by credentialed “experts” who know better than the people what’s best for them.
This tyranny of the minority “managerial elite” has been more dangerous than the tyranny of the majority, assaulting our Constitutional structure that managed to avoid those extremes through divided and balanced government, along with the unalienable rights to “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.”

I called the Southern District of Florida clerk this am and was told there is no public access line for hearing on special master. This really is unacceptable, the public and media should be able to hear all federal court proceedings.

First they told you the man you voted for was a domestic terrorist, then they fired for not taking the vaccine and told you you'd be dead. They're furious he's not in prison and you're still alive, so they'll settle for calling you a domestic terrorist instead.
The discourse on this site is to be CIVIL – no name calling, baiting, or threatening others here is allowed. Those who are so inclined may visit Wolf’s other sanctuary, the U-Tree, to slog it out. There is also a “rescue” thread there for members of the Tree to rendezvous if the main site goes kablooey. A third site has been added for site outages of longer duration.
This site is a celebration of the natural rights endowed to humans by our Creator as well as those enshrined in the Bill of Rights adopted in the founding documents of the United States of America. Within the limits of law, how we exercise these rights is part of the freedom of our discussion.
Fellow tree dweller the late Wheatie gave us some good reminders on the basics of civility in political discourse:
No food fights.
No running with scissors.
If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone.

1This is how one should regard us, as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God. 2Moreover it is required of stewards that they be found trustworthy. 3But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged by you or by any human court. I do not even judge myself. 4I am not aware of anything against myself, but I am not thereby acquitted. It is the Lord who judges me. 5Therefore do not pronounce judgment before the time, before the Lord comes, who will bring to light the things now hidden in darkness and will disclose the purposes of the heart. Then every man will receive his commendation from God.
LUKE 5:33-39
33And they said to him, “The disciples of John fast often and offer prayers, and so do the disciples of the Pharisees, but yours eat and drink.” 34And Jesus said to them, “Can you make wedding guests fast while the bridegroom is with them? 35The days will come, when the bridegroom is taken away from them, and then they will fast in those days.” 36He told them a parable also: “No one tears a piece from a new garment and puts it upon an old garment; if he does, he will tear the new, and the piece from the new will not match the old. 37And no one puts new wine into old wineskins; if he does, the new wine will burst the skins and it will be spilled, and the skins will be destroyed. 38But new wine must be put into fresh wineskins. 39And no one after drinking old wine desires new; for he says, `The old is good.'”
