Dear KMAG: 20240318 Joe Biden Didn’t Win ❀ Open Topic


Joe Biden didn’t win. This is our Real President:

AND our beautiful REALFLOTUS.


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 yes, it’s Monday…again.

But we WILL get through it!

We will always remember Wheatie,

Pray for Trump,

Yet have fun,

and HOLD ON when things get crazy!


We will follow the RULES of civility that Wheatie left for us:

Wheatie’s Rules:

  1. No food fights.
  2. No running with scissors.
  3. If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone.

And while we engage in vigorous free speech, we will remember Wheatie’s advice on civility, non-violence, and site unity:

“We’re on the same side here so let’s not engage in friendly fire.”

“Let’s not give the odious Internet Censors a reason to shut down this precious haven that Wolf has created for us.”

If this site gets shut down, please remember various ways to get back in touch with the rest of the gang:

Our beloved country is under Occupation by hostile forces.

Daily outrage and epic phuckery abound.

We can give in to despair…or we can be defiant and fight back in any way that we can.

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 Week:

batrachivorous

adjective

  1. frog-eating
  2. bottom-feeding

Used in a sentence

A fish that eats frogs off the bottom of the pond, when the frogs dive into the water to escape predators on land, is batrachivorous, no matter how one defines the word.

Pronounced differently than I pronounce it


MUSIC!

Who here has eaten frog legs? You’re batrachivorous! Of course, if you don’t want to eat bullfrogs, you can get drunk with them!


THE STUFF

I stumbled across something interesting…..

YouTube suggested a video that I watched, fully realizing that it was probably “fake entertainment” designed to influence me in some way. And it was. So watch at your own risk. It’s a seductively innocent story.

To me, this sci-fi short appears to be propaganda to influence people in an emotional way to warm up to AI and humanoid robotics. They are using non-creepy, lovable humans to depict what we know is creepy and hard-to-love AI and robots.

Which is not to say that I oppose these things, but it IS to say that I can recognize propaganda when I see it. Some important concepts are discussed here, but beware of the main payload, hidden underneath sympathetic COUGH COUGH COUGH real humans.

Just sayin’!

Meanwhile, how about some AI REALITY – specifically in science and math? If you tire of the math, skip to the end for the summation of the situation by mathematicians.

And remember…….

Until victory, have faith!

And trust the big plan, too!

And as always….

2024·03·16 Joe Biden Didn’t Win Daily Thread

What is it that feeds our battle, yet starves our victory?

January 6 Tapes Reminder

After the first release, we were supposed to get more, every week.

As far as I know it hasn’t happened.

Speaker Johnson, please follow through!

A Caution

Just remember…we might replace the RINO candidates. (Or we might not. The record is mixed even though there is more MAGA than there used to be.) But that will make no difference in the long run if the party officials, basically the Rhonna McDaniels (or however that’s spelled–I suspect it’s RINO), 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 wheelhorses 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!

SPECIAL SECTION: Message For Our “Friends” In The Middle Kingdom

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?

中国是个混蛋 !!!
Zhōngguò shì gè hùndàn !!!
China is asshoe !!!

And here’s my response to barbarian “asshoes” like you:

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.

Kamala Harris has a new nickname since she finally went west from DC to El Paso Texas: Westward Hoe.

Lawyer Appeasement Section

OK now for the fine print.

This is the WQTH Daily Thread. You know the drill. There’s no Poltical correctness, but civility is a requirement. There are Important Guidelines,  here, with an addendum on 20191110.

We have a new board – called The U Tree – where people can take each other to the woodshed without fear of censorship or moderation.

And remember Wheatie’s Rules:

1. No food fights
2. No running with scissors.
3. If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone.
4. Zeroth rule of gun safety: Don’t let the government get your guns.
5. 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.

(Hmm a few extras seem to have crept in.)

Spot Prices

All prices are Kitco Ask, 3PM MT Friday (at that time the markets close for the weekend). (Note: most media quotes are for the bid…the price paid by the market makers, not the ask, which is what they will sell at. I figure the ask is more relevant to people like us who wish we could afford to buy these things. In the case of gold the difference is usually about a dollar, for the PGMs the spread is much wider.)

Last Week:

Gold $2,179.60
Silver $24.36
Platinum $922.00
Palladium $1,045.00
Rhodium $5,050.00

Gold $2,156.70
Silver $25.28
Platinum $946.00
Palladium $1,102.00
Rhodium $5,400.00

Gold spent this last week bouncing around and closed this week lower than last week. On the other hand silver went like gangbusters, and the PGMs are also up. It’s almost as if gold is pausing and letting the others catch up.

Obligatory PSAs and Reminders

China is Lower than Whale Shit

Remember Hong Kong!!!

中国是个混蛋 !!!
Zhōngguò shì gè hùndàn !!!
China is asshoe !!!

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

Wolfie’s Wheatie’s Word of the Week:

williwaw

noun

  1. A violent gust of cold wind blowing seaward from a mountainous coast, especially in the Straits of Magellan.
  2. A sudden gust of wind; a squall.
  3. A whirlwind, or whirlwind squall, encountered in the Straits of Magellan.

Used in a sentence

We had ourselves a righteous williwaw here a while back, with March seeming to come in like a lion, blowing down dead branches everywhere.


MUSIC!

How about some more bluegrass? Heck yeah!


THE STUFF

First, some explanation…..

Because of major fixes in key aspects of my health, I am now able to spend enough time on upcoming posts that they don’t all have to be identical placeholders. I can’t count on being here to do a bang-up Monday daily every week, because between healthcare appointments, healthcare scheduling, critical exercise to keep me healthy, home duties, minor crises, and unexpected crap, I can’t go much further than placeholders, done in advance, but I can do a batch of them that are not identical, and that is now the plan. I’m going to create several months of placeholders while I have a moment of moderately good health, and make minor modifications to all of them.

Each one will have a new word of the week, a new music video, and a new “feature” of some kind (often including interesting clickbait) for “the stuff”. I can create these well ahead of time, without waiting for the news.

I have to strike while the iron is hot. I now understand that my health is not guaranteed to be this good for longer than whatever time God chooses, so I will put the time to good use.

I know that God wants me working on this site, and not other “stuff” that is trying to drag me away. The other “stuff” has a purpose, too, but apparently this is more important. So be it.

Some of the features are going to be math and science videos that I find interesting – like this one!

Don’t feel like you can’t argue with or criticize either the science, math or history in anything that I post. That’s exactly what you SHOULD do!!!

I will also keep the Wheatie Warrior digital game artwork picture for the featured image. People seem to prefer that to the AI images. It’s comforting to y’all.

Just sayin’!

And remember…….

Until victory, have faith!

And trust the big plan, too!

And as always….

Wolfie’s Wheatie’s Word of the Week:

littoral

adjective

  1. of, like or pertaining to the shore of a body of water
  2. of or on a shore, especially a seashore
  3. inhabiting the seashore, esp. the zone between high-water and low-water mark

Used in a sentence

For lakes, the littoral zone is the nearshore habitat where photosynthetically active radiation penetrates to the lake bottom in sufficient quantities to support photosynthesis.

See Littoral zone on Wikipedia.

MUSIC!

Needed to get outside just a bit on this stuff!

And speaking of stuff…..


THE STUFF

Gabby Does Wheatie Warrior. Sorta.

I had to start a fresh chat with Gabby to make any headway on trying to get a watercolor of the locally famous “Wheatie Warrior” picture, shown above.

Note the image name, upon which I believe Gabby relies heavily. I provided the file URL to Gabby, and I am positive that Gabby is reading the file and analyzing it.

FILE: https://www.theqtree.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/fantasy_walking_on_field_020457_.jpg

Well, here is Gabby’s return image.

It’s a great image – not as creepy as many prior Gabby images, and even less creepy in watercolor – but it lacks so many key aspects from the “Wheatie Warrior” image. OTOH, the original Wheatie Warrior image is rather far from reality. Does Gabby find the original “Final Fantasy” image creepy? Or at least “undesirable”? Is Gabby editing? Is Gabby changing the basic picture to “his/her/its” view of things? What are the biases of Gabby?

Gabby definitely biases to the center of the picture. Not much sense of lower symmetry showing balance. It’s easy to think that Gabby’s not that bright.

I tried all sorts of input variations and specificity to change the nature of the result toward more like the input image – no dice.

Hey! I got a tree – and lost the rest.

I just gave up. But only for now! *WINK*

Just sayin’!

And in that regard…..

Until victory, have faith!

And trust the big plan, too!

And as always….

THE STUFF

More on the Gab AI

I asked Gabby to do a self-portait in the outdoors, using the Watercolor interface. This is the first time Gabby chose a man – and a white man at that. Gabby consistently chose a dark black African woman in the past.

I have been studying the Watercolor engine to test its capabilities, biases, strengths and weaknesses. I will explore the results in upcoming posts.

One thing I have noticed is that Gab’s new interface tends to make each “conversation” with an engine tend to “fall into a rut”, which can be good or bad, depending on your needs. It’s good, in that it remembers what you just asked it to do. It’s bad, in that if you want bigger changes, you probably need to start a new chat. But in general, having options both ways is nice.

This tree, the prior two, and the next one were all done with the same conversation. They were all very similar, even with radically different instructions, some of which were trying to get the engine to do a “Wheatie Warrior” watercolor. I had to start completely new chats to make even some progress that way.

AI can be stubborn. Kinda like people.

Just sayin’!

Until victory, have faith!

THE STUFF

Moar Updatez

Things are going well. Health is on the upswing and things are getting done.

I’m still playing with the Gab AI images – I will use the output to add some variety to the next three months while I’m away for long periods of time.

The image AI “Gabby” is back up. Here’s an example of what it can do. This was in “Steampunk” mode.

Not sure how it decided to add a moon. I just asked for a steampunk wolf with a tophat.

I like these older watches from the previous incarnation of Gabby. More about Gabby next time.

Medical things are going well. I’m definitely regaining control of my health, and am feeling good. I’m now almost well enough for the extensive travel, physical labor, and other things that will keep me busy during the next 4-6 months.

And if we get some TRUMP sanity back into the White House, a trip to the inauguration is not out of the question!

Just sayin’!

So thank you for your assistance in this matter. Your prayers and well-wishes are working.

espace réservé

noun

  1. French for placeholder
  2. French for reserved area
  3. French for restricted area
  4. Wolf’s preparation for a year of taking care of things

As I will explain below, I’m going to need placeholders for many weeks this year. The first placeholder post (February 5, 2024) will be copied to the other weeks, and modified whenever time allows.

The whole “placeholder” endeavor just sounds so much less offensive in French!


MUSIC!

Relaxing hymns on a harp. Ahhhhhhh.


THE STUFF

An Update…..

So far, things are going better than expected. I appreciate your prayers and support. I have made it past several hurdles, but also had a close call, from which much was learned. I’m actually in a better and safer place now, because of it.

Because I have sworn off a variety of responsibilities, including (here) “big fresh Monday dailies”, I have been able to spend hours every day in medical self-education, to learn what was needed to make significant headway against one of my medical issues. Many other issues are impacted by this one, so it was critical. The strategy paid off, and I have begun to move one huge rock out of my path.

My issues appear to be at the edge of science, which is both fascinating and a bit scary. We live in a very interesting time, when medicine is both “under construction” and obviously falling apart. I am trying to stay ahead of the collapse. So far, the magic of surfing is working.

I am trying to stay connected to all my major activities (art worlds, local politics, this site, neighbors, friends, exercise, home upkeep, financial stewardship & taxes, and most of all supporting my wife in her activities), but I’ve had to ditch major responsibilities in many of them.

Health comes first now.

I was very interested by what I learned from TradeBait’s post, and all your comments there. It’s nice to see things working, and I’m learning a lot.

I got onto Gab AI and made the image on the cover, using their “Watercolor” Image AI. I am trying to test their evolving AI capabilities. Gotta keep as many “tiny irons” in the fire as possible. I am planning to GET BETTER, and I don’t want to lose my place in things.

We’ll see how things go this week. As I said, your prayers are appreciated, and they’re working! THANK YOU!!!

Just sayin’!

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.

(Hmm a few extras seem to have crept in.)

Spot Prices

All prices are Kitco Ask, 3PM MT Friday (at that time the markets close for the weekend). (Note: most media quotes are for the bid…the price paid by the market makers, not the ask, which is what they will sell at. I figure the ask is more relevant to people like us who wish we could afford to buy these things. In the case of gold the difference is usually about a dollar, for the PGMs the spread is much wider.)

Last Week:

Gold $2,040.70
Silver $22.75
Platinum $901.00
Palladium $970.00
Rhodium $5,050.00

Gold $2,025.40
Silver $22.69
Platinum $884.00
Palladium $887.00
Rhodium $4800.00

Gold still bouncing around. But the platinum group metals are all undeniably in decline. Palladium has almost dropped below platinum. Actually, by one measure it already has. I quote the “Ask” prices because that’s what your purchase price is (somewhat) related to, but most quote “Bid” (how much they will pay a trader for the paper, in the commodities market). Platinum has a ten dollar spread, which means the Bid is $10 less than the ask, at $874. But palladium’s spread is typically $40, so bid on that is $847. If you can see past the dyslexia hazard, that means most people today are quoting palladium at less than platinum, for the first time in a LONG time. (I suppose I should have sold when it was at $3,000?)

When I was new to this, gold was roughly $300, platinum was roughly $400, and palladium was $80 or maybe $120 though it jumped to $180 when “cold fusion” was announced. So to my gut the market was upside down with palladium the most expensive and platinum the cheapest. At least palladium is back where it belongs, now if the sale on platinum would just effing end…

Obligatory PSAs and Reminders

China is Lower than Whale Shit

Remember Hong Kong!!!

中国是个混蛋 !!!
Zhōngguò shì gè hùndàn !!!
China is asshoe !!!

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

乔*拜登没赢 !!!
Qiáo Bài dēng méi yíng !!!
Joe Biden didn’t win !!!

Dear KMAG: 20240205 Joe Biden Didn’t Win ❀ Open Topic


Joe Biden didn’t win. This is our Real President:

AND our beautiful REALFLOTUS.


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 yes, it’s Monday…again.

But we WILL get through it!

We will always remember Wheatie,

Pray for Trump,

Yet have fun,

and HOLD ON when things get crazy!


We will follow the RULES of civility that Wheatie left for us:

Wheatie’s Rules:

  1. No food fights.
  2. No running with scissors.
  3. If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone.

And while we engage in vigorous free speech, we will remember Wheatie’s advice on civility, non-violence, and site unity:

“We’re on the same side here so let’s not engage in friendly fire.”

“Let’s not give the odious Internet Censors a reason to shut down this precious haven that Wolf has created for us.”

If this site gets shut down, please remember various ways to get back in touch with the rest of the gang:

Our beloved country is under Occupation by hostile forces.

Daily outrage and epic phuckery abound.

We can give in to despair…or we can be defiant and fight back in any way that we can.

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 Week Year:

espace réservé

noun

  1. French for placeholder
  2. French for reserved area
  3. French for restricted area
  4. Wolf’s preparation for a year of taking care of things

As I will explain below, I’m going to need placeholders for many weeks this year. The first placeholder post (February 5, 2024) will be copied to the other weeks, and modified whenever time allows.

The whole “placeholder” endeavor just sounds so much less offensive in French!


MUSIC!

One of my favorite hymns! A new version…..


THE STUFF

The low-down…..

I already had a long list of things I absolutely must do this year – which include some significant trips, and big medical projects which I put off from last year.

Yes, THE WOOF needs some upkeep to his fine if somewhat ancient mechanism!

And then the medical stuff got compounded by some bad, stupid, Biden-era corruption, which I would love to elaborate upon, but can’t.

The bottom line is that I’m now spending all my time trying to correct the cascading problems of a system error that should have never happened.

And all this takes TIME.

To make sure I have a post up every Monday, it’s going to have to be placeholders.

Or, as I was saying, espaces réservés. Which sounds so much more dignified.

So what can you all do?

If somebody wants to take over the Monday daily, that’s great. Let me know. It’s not absolutely necessary, because the espaces réservés work quite nicely.

But that’s not the most important thing. If I can ask, the occasional prayer for my health would be wonderful. Nothing big – there are many people on this site who need your prayers far more than me. Pray for THEM regularly. But still, prayer is good – prayer is strong – and prayer is effective. An occasional prayer for me to “fix up solid” would be greatly appreciated.

Best and fastest way to get me back online for the election.

Just sayin’!

So thank you for your assistance in this matter. And remember…….

Until victory, have faith!

And trust the big plan, too!

And as always….

ENJOY THE SHOW

Wolfie’s Wheatie’s Word of the Week:

pseudandry

noun

  1. assumption of a man’s proper name by a woman
  2. use of a masculine name by a woman as a pseudonym
  3. the use by a female writer of a male pseudonym
  4. the first step in girls falling for the transgender social contagion
  5. what brainwashed schoolgirls do with the help of Democrat teachers
  6. appropriation of male nomenculture by a mentally ill woman

nomenculture

noun

Wolfmoonian neologism (which may or may not already exist) designed to criticize left-wing political correctness over it’s ridiculous “cultural appropriation” morality. The resemblance to nomenclature is intentional. The obvious meaning is “culture of naming things”.


MUSIC!

Enjoy a classic “epic” track from back when we were on CTH, supporting Trump against the Jebusites and Donkey Coms!

Steve’s post on Tides reminded me of this scene in the movie Interstellar. Pay attention to the music.

This guy’s goofy deadpan humor is just fun to watch. He “collects” great bass players around the world in his video channel. Enjoy!


THE STUFF

Did you ever wonder why LinkedIn is so horrible, and encourages a weird kind of PC phoniness? This is the guy who founded it, and who runs it.

Keep pushing the Faucists and the Branch Covidians every day on masks, vaccines, and DEATH BY JABS. They’re backing up and giving OUR SIDE the scientific credibility now.

Pay attention here. Democrats are MAOIST. Public schools are now MAOIST. This is not an accident.

Never count on ‘slims to protect you from ‘slims.

OK, I laughed at this. Medical political jokes are a weakness.
