Wolfie’s Wheatie’s Word of the Week:
ingluvies
noun
a crop or craw of birds
a dilation or pouch in the esophagus of certain animals that receives food prior to the main stomach, esp a bird’s craw, or the first stomach of a cow or other ruminating animal
the widened portion of the esophagus of birds and lower animals
a crop or pouch in the esophagus of many birds, in which food is stored or partially digested before passing to the stomach
Used in a sentence with bad American English and Russian accent
“Moose ingluvies, but squirrel not having!”
Ridiculous misleading example of usage generated by bad AI
You don’t have to understand the math, to follow along and understand why light and atoms end up being a lot like vibrating musical strings.
Basically, Erwin Schrödinger plugged a simple but weird equation by Louis de Broglie, which said that matter has a frequency just like light, into the existing wave equation, and he got a matter wave equation.
And all of THAT is revealed on the way to answering, what in the heck is an imaginary number doing in there?

Wolfie’s Wheatie’s Word of the Week:
vicegerent
noun
acting in place of another
having delegated authority
not the same as a viceregent, although similar
Used in a sentence
A viceregent is a ruler acting in place of a monarch, while a vicegerent is an appointed representative of a higher authority, often with broader administrative duties.
Now I seem to recall Rand Paul’s name associated with Festivus, and I never quite got it, until this news report. Stay with it for at least a minute. LMAO!!!
Well, DOGE-GONE, it’s BARBIE!
I’m sorry, but Festivus has me in the mood to play my favorite song!
In case you’re wondering what a “ferrocell” is, there’s a fascinating paper describing how one works.
The beauty of this song – other than simply being well-done, is that in some pleasing ways, the actual science of sunlight shining on the orbiting moon, blocked by its own orbiting mass, corresponds with, and maybe even transforms through the “crackpot matrix” to, the dithering of Mr. (at)witsit about ferrocells and whatnot.
Between “real” science and “pseudo” science, I’m falling in love with the crazy beauty of this universe!
Good night, good morning, good day, and MERRY CHRISTMAS!
The 2020 coup/color revolution must be resolved. Hopefully the fraud is so egregious that the ‘pardons’ and laws enacted during the last four years are wiped from the record.
In a nutshell, Marc Elias used lawfare to get the Constitutional election laws changed via court cases in the critical states. However nowhere in the Constitution does it say the courts (OR the governor) are in charge of election law. The Constitution and the Amendments are specific, it is the state legislature.
Since Trump and MAGA would not lay down and shut up like the good little Rinos do when they lose via fraud, the Cabal had a problem. Trump could still get the fraudulent election over turned on Jan 6th . Thus a plan was developed to push through the ratification of the fraudulent election WITHOUT allowing any challenges and then cover it up.
In the video I link below, Alpha Warrior comments on how Trump should handle pardons. Instead of a blanket pardon, there should be investigations and then the cases dismissed if there was no probable cause. Look for prosecutorial misconduct – Dismissal ALLOWS lawsuits. Investigate the investigators. ALSO investigate the cases that SHOULD have been brought but were not.
Publius Huldah has a short but good article on the subject.
….The fundamental Principle which should guide us in dealing with this issue is set forth at Article IV, §4, US Constitution. It reads,
“The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government…”
The essence of a “Republic” is that sovereign power is exercised by Representatives elected, directly or indirectly, by The People. 1
Election fraud strikes at the heart of our Constitutional Republic. Therefore, Congress, the federal courts and the Executive Branch [i.e., the “United States”] have the duty, imposed by Article IV, §4, to negate the fraud in order to preserve our republican form of government.…
This might just be the most I’ve ever spilled on the things no one ever talks about—consider it classified… but I was ordered to show teeth
“… They leverage MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems)—-based closed-loop controllers to traverse various terrains with minimal navigational errors, even in challenging environments like urban areas, dense forests, and rugged landscapes…. 👉People seem to forget I blew the whistle on 𝕆𝕓𝕒𝕞𝕒 𝕦𝕤𝕚𝕟𝕘 𝕡𝕖𝕠𝕡𝕝𝕖 𝕒𝕤 𝕥𝕒𝕣𝕘𝕖𝕥 𝕡𝕣𝕒𝕔𝕥𝕚𝕔𝕖, which was observed with these ORBS and the data pertaining to conversations, operations, and data collected by his unauthorized drone strikes in Northern Africa along with many complicit Generals and Admirals that aided in these unauthorized strikes.👈….”
AND
….These orbs, capable of operating close to civilian zones under the guise of surveillance, could compromise individual privacy and potentially breach ethical norms. The PRISM surveillance program, which sparked widespread debate about government overreach and surveillance, is a stark reminder of the sensitivities surrounding technologicalsnooping.

“…. The increasingly sophisticated technologies involved raise questions about accountability—particularly 👉when AI-powered targeting systems are used to identify and engage adversaries autonomously👈…. From my perspective, the most concerning part is that autonomous targeting systems’ ability to make decisions about engagement independently 👉raises significant questions about accountability👈…” [The computer did it, not me! – GC]
AND
‘…The architecture of intelligence agencies thrives on compartmentalization—a necessity to minimize leaks and keep critical operations insulated. However, this structure can serve a dual purpose.Secret factions within the intelligence ecosystem could deliberately silo information, shielding their operations from oversight… Those outside select intelligence pockets could easily be excluded, creating layers of intentional ignorance around key movements. The result? Authorities are unaware and unable to engage due to deliberate design, not out of incompetence… These unconventional propulsion systems render standard radar systems obsolete, while autonomous programming enhances unpredictability. Such technological superiority ensures that law enforcement and even military agencies without clearance are left chasing shadows rather than substantial leads. Think of it as technological misdirection—a deliberate choice to keep the eyes of the uninformed fixed on the wrong horizon…”
“… deliberately silo information, shielding their operations from oversight…” is exactly what was done in the J 6 cover up.
…..
So Obama was using innocent Africans for target practice to test out sophisticated new technology. 🤔
Who was Obama’s Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security? — Janet Napolitano.
In March of 2010 she switched the DHS focus FROM Muslim Terrorists TO military veterans, calling them ‘Homegrown Terrorists.’ This also included any other retired government trained weapons expert such as Secret Service or LEOs according to a retired Secret Service agent I talked to. He got that info from buddies inside the Obama Admin.
Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said Wednesday that she was briefed before the release of a controversial intelligence assessment and that she stands by the report, which lists returning veterans among terrorist risks to the U.S.
But the top House Democrat with oversight of the Department of Homeland Security said in a letter to Ms. Napolitano that he was “dumbfounded” that such a report would be issued.
“This report appears to raise significant issues involving the privacy and civil liberties of many Americans – including war veterans,” said Rep. Bennie Thompson of Mississippi, chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, in his letter sent Tuesday night…
Of course military veterans and others trained in the use of weapons and tactics ARE a threat to the Cabal’s plans for the USA. So what happened to the Former AZ governor & Sec of DHS, Janet Napolitano? She became president of theUniversity of California!
Obama was certainly not the start. We are looking at the culmination of a long term plan by the Cabal. A major step was The Patriot Act [Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001]It was passed October 12, 2001. Given the above information, one can see why a POTUS Trump with his ‘supposed’ clearance allowing him to see everything was a major threat. No wonder they kept him busy with Russia, Russia, Russia and impeachments. No wonder they had to get rid of General Flynn and his crew.
….
Next we look at another bit of information unearthed by Ivan Raiklin. First, rememberSpeaker Pelosi tore up Trump’s State of the Union address on Feb 4th 2020 indicating her utter contempt for the President of the United States.
Next, lets look at Yogananda Pittman.
She was the assistant chief of the Capitol Police and controlled the threat assessment data. She then served as acting chief from January 8 to July 23, 2021, following the resignation of Steven Sund. With Chief Steven A. Sund forced to resign and Yogananda Pittman put in his place, she was a key figure in the Fedsurrection and persecution of protesters.
…According to Steven Sund and Tarik Johnson, formerly of the U.S. Capitol Police, while Pittman was the interim Head of the U.S. Capitol Police, she had specific intelligence that there was a planned insurrection at the Capitol at least two weeks before the January 6, 2021 incident.[9][10] According to findings in a bipartisan Senate investigation, a series of omissions and miscommunications kept that information from reaching front-line officers.[9] — Wiki
Yogananda Pittman appears to have doctored the evidence regarding J6 Persecutions/prosecutions before the evidence was sent to DOJ Matt Graves. This according to Ivan @ 40:00 min to 43:30 in the Paul Harrell interview of Ivan Raiklin. (See below)
After executing the Planned Fedsurrection, Yogananda Pittman was hustled away to CALIFORNIA so she could not be easily be subpoenaed by Congress. Yogananda Pittman is now the University of California, Berkeley chief of police. As a further bribe, they made sure she didn’t lose her Capitol Police pension when she ‘retired’ early by keeping her on the Capitol Police payroll while she was in CA.
She, of course, was happy to appear while Democrats controlled congress so she could further damage MAGA patriots.
Ivan Raiklin has been mapping out the architects of the Fedsurrection and how they keep it under-wraps and what can be done to unearth it.
Paul Harrell interviews Ivan 1/9/24 (1 hour)
Ivan discusses the role the Capitol Police Board plays in the J6 prosecutions, identifies those responsible and all relevant relationships with illustrative slides (starts at 5 minutes)
This is the law Ivan references:
Capitol Police security information: 2 US Code 1979 Release of security information
(1)is sensitive with respect to the policing, protection, physical security, intelligence, counterterrorism actions, or emergency preparedness and response relating to Congress, any statutory protectee of the Capitol Police, and the Capitol buildings and grounds; and
(2)is obtained by, on behalf of, or concerning the Capitol Police Board, the Capitol Police, or any incident command relating to emergency response.
(b)Authority of Board to determine conditions of release
Notwithstanding any other provision of law,👉any security informationin the possession of the Capitol Police may be released by the Capitol Police to another entity, including an individual, only if the Capitol Police Board determines in consultation with other appropriate law enforcement officials, experts in security preparedness, and appropriate committees of Congress, that the release of thesecurity information will not compromise the security and safety of the Capitol buildings and grounds or any individual whose protection and safety is under the jurisdiction of the Capitol Police.👈
(c)Rule of construction
Nothing in this section may be construed to affect the ability of the Senate and the House of Representatives (including any Member, officer, or committee of either House of Congress) to obtain information from the Capitol Police regarding the operations and activities of the Capitol Police that affect the Senate and House of Representatives. [Note this is a very limited ability. – GC]
(d)Regulations
The Capitol Police Board may promulgate regulations to carry out this section, with the approval of the Committee on Rules and Administration of the Senate and the Committee on House Administration of the House of Representatives.
(e)Effective date
This section shall take effect on December 8, 2004…
So THAT law is how they have been hiding the Jan 6th tapes.
….
Ivan has also repeatedly brought up the fact Biden IS NOT a Constitutionally elected president.
At 40 minutes he talks about the quorum mentioned in the 12th Amendment and at 42:50 there is the tape of Nancy Pelosi allowing only 22 senators and 22 congressman on the floor. They rest have to be in the gallery [nicely squished together, so what is the point? – GC] and are thus blocked from participating. This helps PREVENT any objections based on the illegally conducted elections getting passed. [Later the house physician says he never made that directive.- GC] On top of that, as Senator Cruz(?) starts to make the first objection, Pence sighs and Ray Epps simultaneously starts the break-in of the Capitol. Ivan also makes it clear that Pelosi’s House Sargent at Arms is who is in command of security and NOT the Secret Service, Thus Pelosi controls the call for the Chamber to be cleared neatly blocking ANY possibility of objections to the slate of electors being heard
This is the actual 12th and I feel the need for a quorum is not as clear as it could be.
The Electors shall meet in their respective states and vote by ballot for President and Vice-President, one of whom, at least, shall not be an inhabitant of the same state with themselves; they shall name in their ballots the person voted for as President, and in distinct ballots the person voted for as Vice-President, and they shall make distinct lists of all persons voted for as President, and of all persons voted for as Vice-President, and of the number of votes for each, which lists they shall sign and certify, and transmit sealed to the seat of the government of the United States, directed to the President of the Senate;
–the President of the Senate shall, in the presence of the Senate and House of Representatives, open all the certificates and the votes shall then be counted;–The person having the greatest number of votes for President, shall be the President, if such number be a majority of the whole number of Electors appointed; and if no person have such majority, then from the persons having the highest numbers not exceeding three on the list of those voted for as President, the House of Representatives shall choose immediately, by ballot, the President.
But in choosing the President, the votes shall be taken by states, the representation from each state having one vote; a quorum for this purpose shall consist of a member or members from two-thirds of the states, and a majority of all the states shall be necessary to a choice. [And if the House of Representatives shall not choose a President whenever the right of choice shall devolve upon them, before the fourth day of March next following, then the Vice-President shall act as President, as in case of the death or other constitutional disability of the President.–] The person having the greatest number of votes as Vice-President, shall be the Vice-President, if such number be a majority of the whole number of Electors appointed, and if no person have a majority, then from the two highest numbers on the list, the Senate shall choose the Vice-President; a quorum for the purpose shall consist of two-thirds of the whole number of Senators, and a majority of the whole number shall be necessary to a choice. But no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States.
Congress has an annotated version of the Constitution. this is what it says:
…Since the Twelfth Amendment was ratified, Congress and the states have made other changes to presidential elections. Following the disputed election of 1876, Congress enacted a statute providing that if a state’s vote is not certified by the governor under seal, it shall not be counted unless both Houses of Congress concur.4 In addition, in 1933, the Twentieth Amendment superseded some provisions of the Twelfth Amendment. 5
…👉Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct,👈 a Number of Electors, equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress: but no Senator or Representative, or Person holding an Office of Trust or Profit under the United States, shall be appointed an Elector.
The Electors shall meet in their respective States, and vote by Ballot for two Persons, of whom one at least shall not be an Inhabitant of the same State with themselves. And they shall make a List of all the Persons voted for, and of the Number of Votes for each; which List they shall sign and certify, and transmit sealed to the Seat of the Government of the United States, directed to the President of the Senate. The President of the Senate shall, in the Presence of the Senate and House of Representatives, open all the Certificates, and the Votes shall then be counted. The Person having the greatest Number of Votes shall be the President, if such Number be a Majority of the whole Number of Electors appointed; and if there be more than one who have such Majority, and have an equal Number of Votes, then the House of Representatives shall immediately chuse by Ballot one of them for President; and if no Person have a Majority, then from the five highest on the List the said House shall in like Manner chuse the President. But in chusing the President, the Votes shall be taken by States, the Representation from each State having one Vote; A quorum for this Purpose shall consist of a Member or Members from two thirds of the States, and a Majority of all the States shall be necessary to a Choice. In every Case, after the Choice of the President, the Person having the greatest Number of Votes of the Electors shall be the Vice President. But if there should remain two or more who have equal Votes, the Senate shall chuse from them by Ballot the Vice President.
The Congress may determine the Time of chusing the Electors, and the Day on which they shall give their Votes; which Day shall be the same throughout the United States.….
The only entities mentioned in Article II of the Constitution and the Amendments is the STATE legislature, the out going VP and the House and Senate. NO WHERE is the state governor or state judges given ANY AUTHORITY over elections. Nor does the federal legislature have any authority to change the Constitution. Which brings us to the Newest law:
This law changes the Constitution WITHOUT going through the Amendment process — Naughty Naughty…
….
A memo, from John Eastman, detailing the unconstitutionally conducted 2020 election in various states and how PENCE could have remedy the problem. It is 6 pages this is the essence:
Illegal conduct by election officials.
Quite apart from outright fraud (both traditional ballot stuffing, and electronic manipulation of voting tabulation machines), important state election laws were altered or dispensed with altogether in key swing states and/or cities and counties. When the laws at issue were specifically designed to reduce the risk of fraud in absentee voting, those violations are particularly troubling. A sampling of the more significant violations is as follows… [Lists Specifics by state.]
Because of these illegal actions by state and local election officials (and, in some cases, judicial officials, the Trump electors in the above 6 states (plus in New Mexico) met on December 14, cast their electoral votes, and transmitted those votes to the President of the Senate (Vice President Pence). There are thus dual slates of electors from 7 states… [Remember these electors were then PROSECUTED! -GC]
The Electoral Count Act of 1887, which is likely unconstitutional, provides:…
This is the piece that we believe is unconstitutional.
It allows the two houses, “acting separately,” to decide the question, whereas the 12th Amendment provides only for a joint session. And if there is disagreement, under the Act the slate certified by the “executive” of the state is to be counted, regardless of the evidence that exists regarding the election, and regardless of whether there was ever fair review of what happened in the election, by judges and/or state legislatures. That also 👉places the executive of the state above the legislature, contrary to Article II👈….
War Gaming the Alternatives.
a. VP Pence opens the ballots, counts those certified by the State executive, and does not receive any objections meeting the requirements of the Electoral Count Act. BIDEN WINS 306-232.
b. VP Pence opens the ballots, receives objections to the 7 states with multiple ballots. The two bodies adjourn to their separate chambers and decide which slate of electors to count.
c. VP Pence opens the ballots, 👉determines on his own which is valid, asserting that the authority to make that determination under the 12th Amendment, and the Adams and Jefferson precedents, is his alone (anything in the Electoral Count Act to the contrary is therefore unconstitutional).👈
i. If State Legislatures have certified the Trump electors, he counts those, as required by Article II (the provision of the Electoral Count Act giving the default victory to the “executive”-certified slate therefore being unconstitutional). Any combination of states totaling 38 elector votes, and TRUMP WINS.
ii. If State Legislatures have not certified their own slates of electors, VP Pence determines, based on all the evidence and the letters from state legislators calling into question the executive certifications, decides to count neither slate of electors. (Note: this could be done with he gets to Arizona in the alphabetical roster, or he could defer Arizona and the other multi-slate states until the end, and then make the determination). At the end of the count, the tally would therefore be 232 for Trump, 222 for Biden. Because the 12th Amendment says “majority of electors appointed,” having determined that no electors from the 7 states were appointed (a position in accord with that taken by Harvard Law Professor Laurence Tribe (here)), TRUMP WINS. iii. Alternatively, VP Pence determines that because multiple electors were appointed from the 7 states but not counted because of ongoing election disputes, neither candidate has the necessary 270 elector votes, throwing the election to the House…
VP Pence determines that the ongoing election challenges must conclude before ballots can be counted, and adjourns the joint session of Congress, determining that the time restrictions in the Electoral County Act are contrary to his authority under the 12th Amendment and therefore void. Taking the cue, state legislatures convene, order a comprehensive audit/investigation of the election returns in their states, and then determine whether the slate of electors initially certified is valid, or whether the alternative slate of electors should be certified by the legislature, exercise authority it has directly from Article II and also from 3 U.S.C. § 2, which provides: “Whenever any State has held an election for the purpose of choosing electors, and has failed to make a choice on the day prescribed by law, the electors may be appointed on a subsequent day in such a manner as the legislature of such State may direct.”….
BOLD, Certainly. But this Election was Stolen by a strategic Democrat plan to systematically flout existing election laws for partisan advantage; we’re no longer playing by Queensbury Rules….
I have outlined the likely results of each of the above scenarios, but I should also point out that we are facing a constitutional crisis much bigger than the winner of this particular election. If the illegality and fraud that demonstrably occurred here is allowed to stand—and the Supreme Court has signaled unmistakably that it will not do anything about it—then the sovereign people no longer control the direction of their government, and we will have ceased to be a self-governing people. The stakes could not be higher.
This is especially a disaster for the Cabal’s new election law:
“….VP XXX opens the ballots, determines on his own which is valid, asserting that the authority to make that determination under the 12th Amendment, and the Adams and Jefferson precedents, is his alone 👉(anything in the Electoral Count Act to the contrary is therefore unconstitutional).👈…”
…..
Then there was the absence of the National Guard.
Ivan claims, that according to Lizzy Chaney’s Jan 6th committee testimony, it was NOT Trump, but her darling Mikey Pence that ordered up the National Guard.
On top of that, there is this: (Both could easily be true.)
FTA “But in a recent interview, Matthews identified the person who delayed the Guard’s deployment, someone who had no authority to do so – Milley. Although the National Guard falls directly under presidential control, Milley circumvented his role. Matthews shared that Milley projected himself outside of his authority. As CJCS, Milley was only to serve in an advisory capacity to the president with no legal authority within the chain of command. However, through his position and exploitation of other generals, he was able to maneuver himself into controlling the Army. Matthews explained: “The problem was not with Donald Trump; it’s Mark Milley and the Army leadership in control. They stopped the Guard from coming, then lied about it and said the Guard acted at sprint speed. This is about civilian control of the military. There was none. There is none. I argue that – Mark Milley had more control over the D.C. Guard on Jan. 6 than Donald Trump did – if Donald Trump wanted to call the Guard to go to the Capitol, Milley wouldn’t let him do it.” Among those supporting Matthews’ account are several District of Columbia law enforcement officials, including former Capitol Police Chief Steven A. Sund. He reported that the Pentagon seemed more concerned about the “optics” of military personnel engaged in crowd control as opposed to quickly deploying the Guard. He noted,”I got on a call with the Pentagon and pleaded for the National Guard. There was delay after delay after delay.”” So on the run up to J6 Milley took his orders from Pelsoi and the deep state and not the Commander In Chief!!!! No surprise he also disobeyed President Trump when told to bring troops home! So a military General was in on the 2020 coup d’etat!!! Too bad Milley will never be court marshaled because he should be!!!! Nothing will of this unfortunately!!!
BTW after Jan 20th President Trump will have the ability to recall to active duty ANY military personnel. 😆
….
This is the video that started my digging. It is a conversation between three retired marines. I had watched the 1st 1/2 hour and with the rabbit holing I did, decided it would make a very good article. The next day Wolfie posted the Tore article on drones. Were drones also used to spy on Trump’s supporters?
What is VERY interesting given the Janet Napolitano/DHS targeting of veterans, is retired marine, Alpha Warrior, a working LEO, WAS NOT at Jan 6th, but he was ‘swatted’ by the FBI anyway as a ‘Potential Domestic Terrorist’ and spent 1 ½ days in solitary. Some veterans are hair triggered thanks to their wartime experience. I wonder how many were early morning ‘swatted’, reacted as you would expect a hair triggered warrior to react when woken up by a ‘threat’ and were murdered by the FBI. It has certainly happened before.
SITREP Ep. 97: January 6th Inside Story, Tactical Errors, and FBI Corruption
In this powerful episode of SITREP, hosted by Alpha Warrior and CannCon, the discussion turns to the deeply controversial January 6th events. Our guest,James Brett, shares his personal accountof that fateful day, including firsthand insights into the chaos at the Capitol,the violent police tactics, and the disproportionate charges faced by the protesters. James also breaks down the FBI’s role, including the use of expired pepper balls and questionable arrests, while uncovering the complicity of both federal agencies and local forces. Tune in as we unpack the government’s manipulation, tactical failures, and the systemic corruption behind the scenes.
Alpha Warrior, being not only a marine but a Law Enforcement Officer, makes this discussion GOLD! (Besides I love his voice.)
James Brett is a Proud Boy and a marine. He was one of the ones who called Ray Epps a Fed in the video. He also says there was someone with a megaphone saying POTUS Trump was going to be at the capitol [THE LURES]
James also mentions the police would form a line and then fall back. They did this a number of times. Remember the videos of the guy removing the temporary barriers marking the no go areas? James says he was never arrested.[THE INVITATION]
James said the police were not following protocol. They were using expired rounds in freezing weather at POINT BLANK RANGE thus turning ‘non lethal’ ammo into LETHAL rounds. This is why the rounds tore thru cheeks and such. The police also fired grenades again at point blank range literally killing two guys via ‘heart attacks’ (Blunt force trauma to the chest see below.)
Third they were firing from above again turning non-lethal into lethal ammo.
However James said the biggie is they BEAT THE SHIT OUT OF WOMEN![INCITING]
James has actual footage of the Capitol police beating a woman. He will be giving it to Alpha. Given what James is saying, inciting MAGA to riot is probably the real reason why Ashley Babbit was shot in cold blood. It is why @ 37 minutes, Alpha, who is a police officer, says if the police CREATE the situation they then can not arrest people because of the situation they created. This is in reference to the police gassing their own line and having to retreat, thus providing an opening for the crowd. He says it is similar to the concept of entrapment.
This is a very rough time vs info outline instead of a transcript.
41 min IMPORTANT It is about Ray Epps and Ryan Samsel. There is an article at the bottom about his treatment in pretrial confinement. Contrast that with Epps treatment. CannCon says you can clearly hear Epps saying to Samsel “we need more people” this is at the same time that James heard the megaphone saying Trump was going to the Capitol. Samsel is the guy who pushed over the bike rack just after Epps talked to him. CannCon interviewed a guy who was right next to Epps and heard what he said.
44min James says the Feds are probably coaching Samsel
49 min James said the Feds deliberately targeted the veteran population… However they do not understand vets. It made us STRONGER and more determined.
52 min James talks about The Info War.
The fedsurrection caused MAGA to be scared to protest. [Because we realized it would play directly into the Cabal’s hands – GC] so instead, MAGA focused on the info war. General Flynn said we now have thousands of Digital Soldiers. This means it now takes only 12 to 16 hrs to debunk the Cabal’s propaganda. James does not think they planned for that. He thinks they thought they would get on going skirmishes that they could then use to destroy MAGA and Trump. [Thus Elon’s take over of Twatter was a BIG victory for MAGA. With the Tea Party, the Cabal painted us as ‘racists’ in order to destroy us. — GC]
56 min James said for every officer the FBI finally acknowledged was there they would have another 15 to 20 tasked around that officer. A lot of CS were with DHS not FBI. [This is why I brought up Janet Napolitano’s targeting of veterans. It all fits like a glove. — GC] Since anything DHS does can be labeled ‘National Security’ they do not have to reveal what they were up to. They planned it for plausible deniability. Also some may have been working for PRIVATE individuals like Nancy Piglosi.
1 hour Alpha says he does not trust Mike Benz.
1hr 6min The pepper balls being expired how important is that? Fired from elevated position – HUGE lethal force from the start…. James says a buddy was hit. The ball split the visor on his hat and grazed cheek. They are supposed to explode [go splat like a paintball – GC] but it did not!
Alpha explains why and says those who were hurt can go for civil suits and probably criminal charges.
Rounds from a batch should be tested before firing at a crowd. Cold or hot can effect pepper bullets. [They are liquid -GC] An officer should fire at a bag that simulates a body to make sure the bullets are functioning properly. They have to be CERTIFIED to use as less than lethal.
Alpha asked Teric Johnson how often do you certify with the pepper bullets. He said he did not know. A LEO LT should know. This suggests every single one of those officers were out of compliance.
1:11:00 Official Warnings are discussed. There were No audible warnings, therefore the crowd was NOT accountable. Officers should be in crowd with recording devises as proof that warning were given.
1:14 James wandered around the night before. They set up a tower on N side of capitol. Plus he found 3 cell phone towers the night before. So why are you setting up facial recognition and cell phone towers? BECAUSE they were setting up a digital pen. To do what? To trap us.
Capitol police are exempt from FOIA requests — Are you out of your mind?
1:18 Alpha on how Trump should handle pardons. Instead of a blanket pardon, there should be investigations and then dismissed if there was no probable cause. Look for prosecutorial misconduct – Dismissal THUS ALLOWS lawsuits. Investigate the investigators ALSO. Investigate the cases that SHOULD have been brought but were not. Were these CSs & Informants?
James Brett says he has buddy advising him. They are trying to weed out CSs & informants.
In the hundreds of conversations we have had with January 6 attendees, political prisoners, and police abuse victims, they all say the same thing. Innocent people were attacked by police without warning.
This was an attack on the American people.
While FBI-Deep State operatives, like Ray Epps, were breaking through barriers and leading Trump supporters to the Capitol, police were readying to fire on them indiscriminately without warning.
Four Trump supporters died that day in the violence. Dozens more were injured. Two Trump supporters, Kevin Greeson and Benjamin Phillips, died immediately when police started firing on the crowd – without warning….
Lots of videos included in that story.

Sudden death from cardiac arrest in a young person may occur during sports play after a blunt blow to the chest in the absence of structural cardiovascular disease or traumatic injury (cardiac concussion or commotio cordis). We studied the clinical features of this apparently uncommon but important phenomenon.
Those four protesters who were murdered during Jan 6th were not the only victims of the Cabal.
...Many protesters were severely punished because federal courts stresseda “need to deter others, especially in cases of domestic terrorism.” In other words, they made examples out of Jan. 6 protesters for daring to question the results of the rigged2020 election. Some Jan. 6 protesters crumbled under the Biden DOJ’s political persecution.
Four of them took their own lives. Here’s what we know about those victims….
…The hopelessness, demonization, and fear felt by Georgia, Aungst, Perna, and Meacham are not isolated.
More than 1,100 people present in our nation’s capital on Jan. 6 are targets of Biden’s Justice Department.
The Jan. 6 footage should have been released immediately for the benefit of J6 defendants and clarity for the American people. Since it wasn’t, Democrats have been able to destroy lives and freely lie for nearly three years about what truly transpired.
Biden and the corporate media claim that these protesters, the vast majority of whom were peaceful, are domestic terrorists and a threat to the nation…
So the Jan 6th MURDER count by the Obama/Biden regime is at LEAST eight.
This one is down right horrifying. It has to be read to be believed. Before being imprisoned he was due for surgery. The DOJ, Dept of Prisons, AND HIS LAWYERS are DELIBERATELY TRYING TO KILL THIS GUY! He is the one who was beaten in prison to the point he lost his eye. He is now being moved from jail to jail all over the country so his medical papers can not keep up.
“So I got moved around every two weeks because they didn’t want the public to know where I was at. So what they would do is they would just transfer me all over the country. And so, most of the time, I lived in booking. I wouldn’t make it to the block, they would process –keep me in booking for two or three weeks when it’s only made for six hours. I lived in bookings,” he continued. “Finally, when I was in Virginia, Virginia had sent me out and get checked to see how bad the clots got, and the clots have gotten worse, and they prescribed me a blood thinner and physical rehab. Never got to physical rehab.”… “So, they deny him his medicine because they had no records that he was ordered to be on blood thinners….. He has only received blood thinners that the doctors ordered for one or two months of the last three and a half years of his incarceration.”
This is what a holding cell looks like. This is where this guy has been living.
“Samsel has been transferred to 19 different correctional facilities 28 times since his Jan. 30, 2021 arrest, all along pleading with jail guards and the courts for the surgery he was prescribed before his arrest that was scheduled March 11, 2021. It is now painstakingly obvious that the US Marshals are being ordered to move him before he gets medical care. He’s about to get surgery, and then the Bureau of Prisons moves him…
There is a lot more.
I wrote this because there is NO WAY the USA will survive if these criminals are NOT punished. Biden pardoning MONSTERS can not be allowed to stand. The only way I can see to over turn these pardons is to destroy Biden’s illegitimate presidency making the pardons null and void.
Joe Biden never won. This is our Real President – 45, 46, 47.

Gail Combs:
At first I was going to do a round-up of all of POTUS Trump’s picks via screen shots and then realized it would be WAY too long. Also the images would eat up too much time loading and possibly overwhelm Steve’s internet service. Therefore I am going to delve into some of the concerns raised. (If people are interested I can do the Trump picks as a separate article or possibly series of article to chronicle this Historic Post Election period.)
Given the skuttlebutt about Biden pardons, this maybe of interest:
Protect Democracy Org —Checking the Pardon Power:Constitutional Limitations & Options for Preventing Abuse
The author, Paul Ingrassia, is a Constitutional Scholar so it is worth reading in it’s entirety.
…The second branch of the government – aptly outlined under Article II, is the executive. The executive branch, under the Constitution’s very explicit original formulation (which, contrary to the overwhelming sentiment in today’s Washington, is an article that has not undergone emendation…) is vested entirely (in noticeable contradistinction to “mostly” or “largely”) in a (again, singular, one) President of the United States (“The executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America” …the executive branch is the only one under our Constitution – which, again, is the law of the land – that is vested in a single individual….
In official duties, the President – or Chief Magistrate – is tasked with law enforcement. He is the commander-in-chief of the armed forces, ensuring civilian control over the military — not, as our latter-day betters would have us believe, something to be outsourced to the Joint Chiefs of Staff, or the Pentagon, or lobbyists and consultants working for Raytheon.
Being singular or unitary, the President appoints cabinet secretaries and federal judges. The latter [Should be former -GC] answer to him alone. And while Congressional approval, in some cases, is needed to fulfill the President’s constitutional obligation for nominations, the President – as the Unitary Executive – has full discretion over the tenures of each and every one of his underlings within the executive department…
As for the agencies (and the larger bureaucracy), the acute observer will find – well, problematic – that no such fourth branch of government exists within the text of the Constitution…
Ingrassia makes the case that the federal bureaucracy is UNDER the executive branch, that is the PRESIDENT and therefore should be answerable to him. “…the President – as the Unitary Executive – has full discretion over the tenures of each and every one of his underlings within the executive department….” The following article from The Congressional Research Service (.gov) shows how Congress has gradually taken control of the executive from the President and turned it into an unelected, unfireable autocratic government aka The Deep State or Shadow Government.
…A little history: up until the end of the Civil War, the President exercised virtually unconstrained power to dismiss military officers. However, in 1865 Congress passed legislation which purports to limit that power. That legislation was essentially the same as that found today codified in 10 USC § 1161(a).
The legitimacy of Congress imposing statutory restrictions on the authority of the President to remove military officers was initially “subject of doubt and discussion.” It remains controversial even today, particularly since there doesn’t seem to be a case precisely on point as to the constitutionality.
👉Nevertheless, the better view does seem to suggest that Congress has the power to set some limits on the President’s dismissal authority – at least in times of peace….
To continue our analogy from above, the President is roughly akin to a British King – a comparison made both favorably and unfavorably throughout the Federalist Papers, that handbook to aid constitutional interpretation and explanation, devised by Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay.
Thus we can go to The Federalist Papers, IF you can find them, to see what our founders actually meant… If you have any doubts. I had to use Yandex to actually find the papers.
[Listing of papers: https://www.federalistpapers.org/2012/12/federalist-papers.html]
…THE President of the United States is to be “commander-in-chief of the army and navy of the United States, and of the militia of the several States when called into the actual service of the United States.” The propriety of this provision is so evident in itself, and it is, at the same time, so consonant to the precedents of the State constitutions in general, that little need be said to explain or enforce it. 👉Even those of them which have, in other respects, coupled the chief magistrate with a council, have for the most part concentrated the military authority 👉in him alone. Of all the cares or concerns of government, the direction of war most peculiarly demands those qualities which distinguish 👉the exercise of power by a single hand…

POWER TO REPLACE SENIOR OFFICIALS WITHIN CRUCIAL GOV POSITIONS (DEPT’S) WHO CAN THEN REPLACE SR+MID+LOW POSITIONS (TRICKLE_DOWN REPLACEMENT). POWER TO APPOINT SC JUSTICES.

POWER TO DECLAS CRUCIAL DOCS TO PROVIDE THE PUBLIC W/ THE TRUTH (TRANSPARENCY). POWER TO GIVE BACK POWER TO THE PEOPLE (AS INTENDED BY OUR FOUNDERS). LEADER OF THE FREE WORLD.…
….
Ingrassia also cites Article III dealing with the establishment of the federal courts: the Supreme Court and the other federal courts. So let’s take a look at this branch of government since it is responsible for enforcing US law and the Constitution…. But IT HAS NOT! We pay attention to the DC government but most often over look the long term damage done by the corrupted judiciary.
The judicial Power of the United States, shall be vested in one supreme Court, and in such inferior Courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish. The Judges, both of the supreme and inferior Courts, shall hold their Offices during good Behaviour, and shall, at stated Times, receive for their Services, a Compensation, which shall not be diminished during their Continuance in Office….
Section 2
The Trial of all Crimes, except in Cases of Impeachment, shall be by Jury; and such Trial shall be held in the State where the said Crimes shall have been committed; but when not committed within any State, the Trial shall be at such Place or Places as the Congress may by Law have directed…. [We now have trial by JUDGES or BUREAUCRATS and not juries BTW. – GC]
Section 3
Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.
The Congress shall have Power to declare the Punishment of Treason…
So can Trump fire federal judges? NO, not according to Publius Huldah. I am a BIG FAN of this lady and I hope POTUS Trump finds a use for her, perhaps in JAG.
From her ABOUT page. “…Publius Huldah” is the nom de guerre of Joanna Martin, J.D., who is a thoroughly nice person, in addition to all the above. And if you hear otherwise, consider this from Socrates, who reportedly said, “When the debate is lost, slander is the weapon of the loser” [Boy, haven’t we seen the truth of that ancient wisdom! Also, if some one is slandered by the MSM, that means they are a threat to the Deep State in IMHO, – GC]
right out of law school & newly commissioned US Army JAGC
To the Department of Homeland Security:
I am delighted to learn of your intense & increasing interest in learning the original intent of Our Constitution! Please feel free to browse around to your hearts’ content.
😂 The comments are worth reading BTW
A search for the word “Judge” on her site turns up some real goodies — LINK. She has a similar opinion of the Supreme Court and judges to mine. 😡
Someone asked me why I write on the US Constitution when the US Supreme Court won’t enforce it.
This is why: Our Declaration of Independence recognizes the self-evident Truth that Rights come from God, and that they are unalienable. Accordingly, there are certain areas of your life which are off-limits to government regulation – you have an “immunity” from governmental regulation of these areas.
But since the federal and state governments are refusing to recognize our Rights, it falls on us to boldly step up to the plate and insist that our Rights be respected. You have no lawful, moral, or religious duty to submit to a government when it violates our Constitution and seeks to take from you the rights God gave you.
Governments do not have constitutional authority to force you to take the COVID JAB.
And in this paper I show that the “privileges and immunities” and “due process” clauses of the US Constitution prohibit the federal, state, and local governments from requiring you to be “jabbed” or putting you into a concentration camp if they assert that you are at “high risk” of getting infected [i.e., those who are 65 years of age or older]….
PLEASE READ!!! Huldah is a Constitutional scholar and lawyer. Her evisceration of the judiciary and Congress is Epic. [COSP =Convention of States Project, Mark Levin is an advocate BTW and thus a viper. I noticed after I pointed that out years ago at OT, the web page disappeared. 🤔]
4I trust you see why Hamilton is viciously smeared. The relentless attacks on our Framers have a purpose: Take them down – and our Foundation is destroyed. Hamilton wrote most of The Federalist Papers, which Madison and Jefferson recognized as the best evidence of the genuine meaning of our Constitution. What effect do these constant attacks on Hamilton have on peoples’ respect for The Federalist Papers? Beware of false friends who undermine our Foundation; and of jealous men whose claim to fame is that they attack Hamilton. [In looking up various Federalist Papers on Brave, I have come across some doozys but could not find the actual papers, just commentary. — GC]
This is her conclusion in her article on Transgenders in the Military.
Conclusion
Let us put the federal courts in their proper place! Congress and the President have the recognized power to refuse to go along with unconstitutional or ultra vires acts of the Judicial Branch; and their Oaths of office require them to do so. Congress also has the power to rid us of usurping federal judges via the impeachment process.
Let’s analyze COSP’s silly argument. We begin by looking at First Principles:
♦The Judicial Branch was created by Art. III, §1, US Constitution. Accordingly, it is a “creature” of the Constitution. 1
♦The federal government came into existence when the States, acting through special ratifying conventions held in each of the States, ratified the Constitution.2
Since the Judicial Branch is merely a “creature” of the Constitution, it follows that it is subordinate to the Constitution, and is completely subject to its terms. It may not annul the superior authority of the States which created the Judicial Branch when they ratified the Constitution; 3 and as a mere “creature” of the Constitution, it may NOT change the Constitution under which it holds its existence! 4
….we elect to Congress people who don’t know our Constitution or The Federalist Papers; and they are unaware of their Duty – imposed by their Oath of office – to function as a “check” on the Judicial Branch by impeaching federal judges who violate our Constitution.
… we delegated only a very few powers to the federal government.
Accordingly, Congress has strictly limited legislative powers over the Country at large. These powers are listed primarily at Art. I, §8, clauses 3-16, and are restricted to war, international commerce & relations; and domestically, the creation of an uniform commercial system: weights & measures, patents & copyrights, a monetary system based on gold & silver, bankruptcy laws, mail delivery & roads. Several Amendments delegate to Congress some power over civil rights.
These enumerated powers are the only areas where the federal government has lawful authority over The States and The People in The States. In all other matters [except those listed at Art. I, §10]the States and The People retain supremacy, independence, and sovereignty. Go here for a complete list of all of Congress’ Enumerated Powers.
Obamacare is altogether unconstitutional because it is outside the scope of the legislative powers We granted to Congress. 👉Nothing in Our Constitution authorizes the federal government to control our medical care 👈 (or to exercise the other fearsome powers in the Act)...
… it is a President’s sworn duty to refuse to enforce any unconstitutional “law” made by Congress. And contrary to the misinformation with which we are constantly bombarded, judges are not vested with exclusive authority to declare Acts of Congress unconstitutional.
The Truth is that a President, the States, local governments, 👉and individual citizens👈, together with the courts, all have the Right &Duty to overrule – to spurn & cast out – unconstitutional laws made by Congress.For it is a fundamental [though long suppressed] Principle of our Founding that an unconstitutional “law” is no “law” at all – it is a “mere usurpation, and deserves to be treated as such”…
I am going to detour to what I consider an important topic in my old notes, JURY NULLIFICATION. It is the American citizens FINAL SAY on the laws passed by our representatives. From 2015:
A pamphlet told the juror what his Constitutional rights and obligations were. This is information the JUDGE should be clearly stating to EVERY JURY. INSTEAD He was arrested for handing out literature. LINK
In fact this is becoming a LAW in some states thanks to the groups handing out the pamphlets.
This is perhaps THE MOST IMPORTANT move any American can make to protect our freedom. WE as Jurorists have the RIGHT and duty to judge not only the case by the LAW itself. We as Jurorists CAN set aside laws passed by Congress! This is the ultimate power of the people over the government and the Elite want to keep it hidden!
…On appeal, however, the jurors’ action was upheld and the right of juries to judge both the law and the facts — to nullify the law if it chose— became part of British constitutional law.
It ultimately became part of American constitutional law as well, With only a few exceptions, juries are explicitly or implicitly told to worry only about the facts and let the judge decide the law.
The right of jury nullification has become one of the legal system’s best kept secrets.
Now a remarkable coalition has sprung up to challenge this secrecy as undemocratic, unconstitutional and dangerous…
FIJA seeks to require that juries be informed of their nullification rights. Informed jury amendments have been filed as an initiative in seven states and legislation has been introduced in the Alaska state legislature.
Merely raising the issue of nullification can make prosecutors nervous, for it takes only one person aware of the right in order to hang a jury. In Washington, DC, where the concept was discussed in connection with the Marion Barry trial, a local television station reported that the US Attorney was worried that a jury might nullify the law in that case……
Far from being an unintended side-effect, jury nullification is explicitly authorized in the constitutions of 24 states.State Language on Jury Nullification
“…Merely raising the issue of nullification can make prosecutors nervous…”
Publius Huldah gets into WHY prosecutors become nervous and what has been done to our legal system.
…The Federalist Papers were written during 1787-88 by Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay, to explain the proposed Constitution to The People and to induce them to ratify it. Thus, The Federalist is the most authoritative commentary on the genuine meaning of Our Constitution. And at a meeting of the Board of Visitors of the University of Virginia on March 4, 1825 at which Thomas Jefferson and James Madison were present, the following resolution selecting the texts for the Law school, was passed:
…on the distinctive principles of the government of our own state, and of that of the US. the best guides are to be found in 1. the Declaration of Independance, as the fundamental act of union of these states. 2. the book known by the title of `The Federalist’, being an authority to which appeal is habitually made by all, and rarely declined or denied by any as evidence of the general opinion of those who framed, and of those who accepted the Constitution of the US. on questions as to it’s genuine meaning…. (page 83) [emphasis added]
So! Thomas Jefferson, Author of the Declaration of Independence, and James Madison, Father of The Constitution, acknowledged the high authoritative status of The Federalist Papers. They saw The Constitution as having a fixed meaning which one could learn by consulting The Federalist!
2. But supreme Court judges soon refused to submit to The Constitution as explained by The Federalist Papers. In 1907, former Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes said, “…the Constitution is what the judges say it is…”. Judges thus rejected the objective standard provided by The Federalist, and substituted their own subjective interpretations. Law schools embraced this subversion: Instead of teaching The Constitution as a set of fixed principles explained by The Federalist, they taught supreme Court opinions which say Congress may do whatever it pleases. They also taught that supreme Court judges have unbridled authority to say what the Constitution means. Law schools thus produced generations of constitutionally illiterate lawyers & judges who have been indoctrinated with the monstrous Lie that Our Constitution means whatever judges on the supreme Court say! And because these lawyers failed in their sacred duty to think, and uncritically accepted what they were told, Our Country is on the brink of destruction….
Of course our John Dewey Progressive School System made DARN SURE Americans are completely ignorant of our Constitution, rights and remedies, the better to turn us into good little Marxist slaves.
On last, Publius Huldah’s article on calling forth the militia.
Because of its excellence and relevance to the insurrections being fomented in our cities by the Marxist organization “Black Lives Matter”, Antifa, and other revolutionary organizations; I sent the recent paper by Edwin Vieira, JD., Ph.D., titled, “The President’s Authority To Suppress Insurrections” [link], to my lists.
In response, some objected that the riots in the cities are local issues to be handled (or not) by the State and local governments – that they are not “federal” issues over which the federal government has jurisdiction. Some also asserted that Article IV, §4, US Constitution prohibits the President from sending the National Guard into a State to quell such disturbances, unless & until the Legislature or the Governor of the State requests it.
Those objections are not well-founded.
First: What’s going on in our cities is not something which can be prudently brushed aside. It is a classic manifestation of a Marxist revolution – see, e.g., this article from “Workers’ World”. Furthermore, as shown below, the President of the United States has constitutional and statutory authority to exercise his own judgment as to whether he should send in the “Militia” to suppress the uprisings.
Second: Our Constitution provides two separate and independent methods for the federal government to suppress such uprisings.
Dr. Vieira’s paper sets forth the other method of “calling forth the Militia” – the method provided for at Article I, §8, clauses 15 & 16, US Constitution. That provides for the intervention of the Militia within a State at the initiative of the federal government, regardless of whether the State requests it.. 1
I hope you enjoyed my tour through some of Publius Huldah’s articles and will continue reading her excellent commentary. I am now going to look at a few other articles of interest by others.
….a recent Congressional Research Service report explains. “The criteria for election or appointment to these positions are specified in the U.S. Constitution, and except by constitutional amendment, no additional criteria (e.g., holding a security clearance) may be required.”
In fact, the security clearance system itself is an expression of presidential authority. Its scope and operation are defined in an executive order (EO 12968), and its terms can be modified by the President at will.
And if the President wished to grant access to classified information to a family member, for example, there would be no legal barrier to doing so…..
So that kills THAT objection by RINOs and Demonrats when it comes to ratifying POTUS Trump’s picks.
…Intelligence Community Inspector General Michael Atkinson wrote in a letter to the senators earlier this month that he could not begin a review of the security clearance process without direction from Trump or one of his “designees” because “the authority over access to classified information ultimately rests with the President of the United States.”…
Of course the Senate has ZERO jurisdiction over Security Clearances so this is just more encroachment on the executive.
Matt Gaetz
So You CAN appoint a private citizen as a Special Counsel, and they can begin their important work WITHOUT a Senate confirmation hearing or vote?
Now Adam Schiff is going to be come a senator. I wonder if POTUS Trump will deny him a security clearance…. OR WORSE?
Added by Wolf…..
Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA) on Tuesday assailed President-elect Donald Trump’s suggestion that he and other former members of the defunct House Jan. 6 committee be imprisoned.
Trump advocated that those on the former panel who investigated the 2021 U.S. Capitol riot and his role in overturning the 2020 election should “go to jail.”
“I don’t think the incoming president should be threatening his political opponents with jail time,” Schiff told reporters on his first full day as a senator. “That’s not the kind of talk we should hear from the president in a democracy, nor do I think that a pardon is necessary for the members of the Jan. 6 committee.”
President Joe Biden is weighing preemptive pardons over fears Trump may seek retribution against Schiff and other high-profile members of the bipartisan panel, including former Chairman Bennie Thomson (D-MS), Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD), and former Rep. Liz Cheney. Biden is also considering pardons for other political foes who could come under Trump’s microscope.
“We are proud of the work we did in that committee,” Schiff continued. “It was a fundamental oversight obligation to investigate the first attempt to interfere with the peaceful transfer of power in our history.”
Trump said in an NBC Meet the Press interview that aired over the weekend that he would not direct Justice Department officials to bring charges against the committee members but accused them of engaging in unspecified criminal activity.
“For what they did, honestly, they should go to jail,” Trump said.
In a separate portion, Trump said that “retribution will be through success.” He’s also vowed to pardon those charged with and convicted of crimes related to the Capitol riot.
Let’s see what happens to Pencil-Neck Shifty Schiff!
Joe Biden never won. This is our Real President – 45, 46, 47.

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.
MINOR CHANGE NUMBER 1 – RETRACTED!
No reasons for you not to joke about Team Harpies On Pedestals, now that the nation has voted overwhelmingly for FREE SPEECH. Just remember that I really avoid deleting posts, so if you say something stupid, and you regret it later, you will need to add a clarification comment, as opposed to deleting it.
OK? Them’s the rules.
OTHER THAN THAT…….
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 2016, 2020, and 2024 elections.
You may also pray for our nation, our world, and even our enemies.
Musical Interlude
In honor of dear Wheatie, we now present some music to soothe, inspire, invigorate, or relax.
Here are three “placeholder” videos, selected from old Wheatie posts.
