DEAR KAG: 20201211

The Wolf’s Head Pub is open for business. It’s Free-for-All Friday and your first well drink is on the house. Tonight’s special is the English classic, Gin and Tonic. If you want to get fancy, add a star anise to the bottom of the glass. It adds a hint of licorice and blends beautifully. And lime. Always lime and never lemon.

Here’s a Brief History of Gin. Let’s just say juniper is the Thing when it comes to gin. My favorite is good old Beefeaters Gin, although nowadays you can find some really delicious gins from boutique distillers.

Speaking of England, let’s take a trip to The Eagle and Child, also known as The Bird and Baby, a pub in Oxford, England that was frequented by Tolkien and Lewis of 20th century literary fame. It has been a pub since the 17th century.

Lewis, who was known to drink three pints of beer for breakfast, spent a great deal of time in the Rabbit Room there, reading from his manuscripts and critiquing the writings of his group of friends known as the Inklings.

The featured image above is the Rabbit Room. I can almost hear Lewis reading in his booming voice…

“In fighting those who serve devils one always has this on one’s side; their Masters hate them as much as they hate us. The moment we disable the human pawns enough to make them useless to Hell, their own Masters finish the work for us. They break their tools.”That Hideous Strength

Do we not see this in action this very day?

The human tools of the NWO, globalists, communists, socialists (whatever you want to call them) are in the process of being disabled. Broken.

Before I get to the good news, civility is what keeps the Qtree a place of sanctuary and intellectual inspiration. Cutting completely loose belongs over at the UTree, not here at the QTree. Civility is king. Rules here if you need a refresher or are new. Thank you in advance for giving our burly bouncers nothing to do. Play nice and say a little breath prayer for our great President and his cabinet and family, and all patriots.

Okay, now to the good news. WE ARE WINNING.

* The State of Georgia’s feckless Gov. Kemp, Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger and their cronies are being absolutely crushed by public opinion and the unfolding truth of their involvement in election fraud. DISABLED.

* The States of Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Georgia are in a tailspin ever since the State of Texas (and about 19 other states at last count) sued in the Supreme Court for relief from the unlawful changes in voting laws in the battleground states. Their responses have been limp.

*Meanwhile, Fox News has committed suicide. So sad. Not. FTA:

“Trump broke every other news entity even before he took office in 2017. CNN, MSNBC, the Washington Post, the New York Times, and the rest have always been left-wing, only with an illusory veneer of neutrality. Trump smashed the veneer, accurately calling them “fake news” amid their swirl of lies about him…”

* Zuckerberg is being sued by the DOJ! Couldn’t happen to a nicer robot. Can the other Tech Giants be far behind?

* Lin Wood is a pit bull in the best sense of the word. He will go down in history as one of the heroes of our Republic.

* Hunter Biden and his Laptop from Hell are back in the news (they never should have left).

* Nancy Pelosi, obviously in the Twilight of her intellectual capabilities, sputtered “Q” during yet another encounter with her propaganda team (aka the MSM). BROKEN.

* Eric “Bang Fang” Swalwell is watching his career being torched by his exposure as a China tool. BROKEN.

* Even the Senator of the Week, Ted Cruz got in on the Swalwell action:

* And that scoundrel, Rep. Adam Schiff, is being dragged into the Fang Fang vortex. How sweet it is!

https://twitter.com/RichardGrenell/status/1337065486069231625
“Prominent” liberals are calling for her resignation. Wink. Wink.

* The ancient Diane Feinstein, who honest to God is beginning to look Chinese in a Skeletor sort of way, is being dragged back into the picture now that Chy-Nah! is being exposed in all its dragonish glory as a greedy, immoral, power hungry serpent with its claws in American politicians. DISABLED.

* The Fake News can now be officially labeled LAUGHABLE. Watching the crappy acting of creatures like Mika Brezinski just brings a smile. Here she is at the start of War Room Pandemic, Episode 576. Trust me, you will laugh. BROKEN.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cfcA3sl8lTw&feature=youtu.be

* Gruesome Newsom is going to be recalled! AHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

* Elon Musk has left the chaotic Newsom LaLa Land and moved to Texas!

* Even that Trudeau fellow has been playing footsies with China, allowing Chinese Military to train on Canadian military bases. He is being taken to task:

* And lest you missed it, here’s an erudite Chinese professor giving the low down on the power structure in the USA to his communist audience. The CCP IS BEING OUTED EVERY WHICH WAY BUT LOOSE. DISABLED:

* And speaking of C. S. Lewis and witches:

Michiganders are teaming up to defeat her tyranny!

* Our Greatest President Ever continues the juggernaut of PEACE IN THE MIDDLE EAST. Just in time for the start of Hanukkah. Our President is a peacemaker!

* Here’s Rand Paul giving that Neocon dud Liz Cheney the what-for:

Get a load of her low-class response to Sen. Paul:

* Our beloved Ron @CodeMonkeyZ is OUTING ALL THE BAD GUY/GAL governors. Here’s just one:

https://twitter.com/CodeMonkeyZ/status/1337187113264062470

We could go on and on and on. Hard times are ahead, but there is light at the end of the tunnel. THEY ARE NOT GOING TO GET AWAY WITH IT. WE ARE WINNING.

Remember the pub scene in Waking Ned Devine, when the evil witch meets her just end while everyone is celebrating in the pub? That’s how it feels just now. God bless us and keep us safe as we get ready to fight another day! Oh heck, the second round is on the house, too!

12-9-20 Midweek Musings

Go Out in Joy and Be Led Forth in Peace

“For you shall go out in joy and be led forth in peace; the mountains and the hills before you shall break forth into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.” – Isaiah 55:12

Chapter 55 of Isaiah is rightfully named “The Compassion of the Lord.” At this point in the book of Isaiah, God’s people have been completely disobedient, but God the Father is a God of grace and compassion, so he invites them into his lovingkindness. He is restoring them so they may glorify him once again and he is blessing his people.

Verse 12 specifically commands the people to go out in joy and be led forth in peace. Why does God ask this and how do we, as believers, do this?

Go Out in Joy

“Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” – 1 Thessalonians 5:16–18

As Christians, we are called to be joyful, which is not a natural thing for us to do as human beings. However, when we understand God’s love and his constant grace, joy becomes easier. When we truly understand God’s grace and seek him, we will find joy.

There are two reasons we are called to go out in joy in this passage: For our own sake and the world’s. When we choose to rejoice in our circumstances, our circumstances seem to change. Life is easier to tackle when you choose a positive and joyous perspective rooted in a trust for God and his promises.

“May the God of hope fill you all with joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.” – Romans 15:13

Furthermore, going out in joy benefits others. The world should be able to recognize a Christian by how they love and by the joy they have. This is not to say that Christians should always act happy and pretend everything is okay – being joyful is different than being happy. Joy is trusting in what God is doing and recognizing that he has a plan. Being joyful means not letting your circumstances crush you. To choose joy is to choose hope.

The idea is that the world sees that our circumstances aren’t crushing us and asks us why. Then we can answer with the glorious news of how good our God is and the hope that we have. When we go out in joy, we allow our own souls to grow and shine the light of Christ simultaneously.

Be Led Forth in Peace

“I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.” – John 16:33

Christians, there is so much peace in truly knowing God. If you were to read the Bible cover to cover, you would walk away with quite a bit of peace and calmness in your heart. God created you (Genesis 1:27), he forgives you (Ephesians 4:32), he saved you (Ephesians 2:8), he promises to protect you (Isaiah 41:10), he has a plan for you (Jeremiah 29:11), he is coming back one day (John 14:3) and he loves you so dearly (1 John 4:9-10).

When we allow Christ to lead us and guide our steps and our hearts, we find peace. There is peace in obedience and relationship with God. This does not mean that anxiety or fear ceases to exist though. The world is still corrupt and the enemy still exists, but when we cling to God and obey him, we will find his peace (Isaiah 32:17).

“And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” – Philippians 4:7

When we truly have the peace of God, we stop needing answers for everything, we stop having to worry about everything going on in the world and we can simply trust in him and what is to come. When we seek his heart, we find peace, an inexplicable peace that will guide us through this life and all the trials we face.

and send portions to those for whom nothing is prepared;
for this day is holy to our Lord.
Do not sorrow,
for the joy of the Lord is your strength.”


Aahhhh! It’s Christmas season again. And we have the Christmas movies, carols and poems, letters to Santa, Santa himself, the North Pole, elves, the 8 reindeer and Rudolph, Frosty the snowman, the Grinch, the lights, our Christmas trees, the other activities associated with Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, and, in some parts of the country, the snow . . . the beautiful, white snow that covers all with is glistening blanket of white. But, (yes, there is a but) . . .

As wonderful as all of these things are, they tend to obscure the true meaning of Christmas . . . more to some people and less to others. The actual events leading to and surrounding the birth of Jesus, the prophecies, the visit of the angel Gabriel, Mary’s visit to Elizabeth, the trip to Bethlehem, nowhere to stay, the manger, the host of angels, the shepherds and their visit to the manger, the star, the wise men, the flight to Egypt, and other events. But, (yes, there is another but) . . .

As necessary as all these things are to understand the birth of Jesus, what I’d like to bring to mind are three aspects of the events of the birth of Jesus that may tend to be overlooked during the Christmas season.

The first aspect is that all the events of Jesus’ birth were of the Will of the Father, by the Power of the Father, and all, all of this, is because of the love of the Father for us and for His Son, Jesus. And it was important to Jesus that we knew that He was sent by His Father.

“I have given them the words that you gave me, and they have received them and have come to know in truth that I came from you; and they have believed that you sent me” (John 17:8).

“I do not ask for these only, but also for those who will believe in me through their word, that they may all be one, just as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me” (John 17:20–21).

“O righteous Father, even though the world does not know you, I know you, and these know that you have sent me” (John 17:25).

The second aspect is, as we get lost in the wonder of the night of Jesus’ birth, it comes as a shock that we remember the reason for His birth is so He can die a horrible death on the cross as a sacrifice for our sins.

 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.  (John 3:16)

For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.  (Romans 6:23)

For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.  (2 Corinthians 5:21)

The third aspect is that Jesus died on the cross resulting in the forgiving of sins for those who believe, all for the Glory of the Father,

“Father, the hour has come,” he prays. “Glorify your Son that the Son may glorify you, since you have given him authority over all flesh, to give eternal life to all whom you have given him. And this is eternal life, that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent” (John 17:1-3).

Whoever speaks, as one who speaks oracles of God; whoever serves, as one who serves by the strength that God supplies—in order that in everything God may be glorified through Jesus Christ. To him belong glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen. (Peter 4:11)

Everyone who is called by my name, whom I created for my glory, whom I formed and made.” (Isaiah 43:7)

And every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. (Philippians 2:11)

For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be glory forever. Amen. (Romans 11:36)

Filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God. (Philippians 1:11)

And he said with a loud voice, “Fear God and give him glory, because the hour of his judgment has come, and worship him who made heaven and earth, the sea and the springs of water.” (Revelation 14:7)

That God, the Father is preeminent in the birth, life and death of Jesus, including His resurrection is no surprise. Neither is the fact that Jesus was born so that He could die (and be raised). Nor that all of this, and every good that ever was, is and will be is to the glory of God, the Father.

Let these aspects be three more reasons to express our joy during this Christmas season!

Dear KAG: 20201204 Open Thread

The Wolf’s Head Pub is open for business. It’s Friday and I don’t know about anyone else but I am ready for some camaraderie and shoulders to lean on. Thank our good God that the pub is full of fellow patriots who pick each other up off the floor, whether we’ve had too much of this dire situation afflicting our republic or too much madeira.

Madeira you say? I always wondered about this interesting drink. Turns out madeira is of Portuguese origin. Wine is subject to spoilage from heat, light and air (ask anyone who has tried to drink a week old bottle of opened wine).

Some time in the 1400s, the Portuguese discovered that fortifying fermenting wine with distilled spirits results in a wine that is safe from spoilage and extremely long-lasting. From Wikipedia:

“When added to wine before the fermentation process is complete, the alcohol in the distilled beverage kills the yeast and leaves residual sugar behind. The end result is a wine that is both sweeter and stronger, normally containing about 20% alcohol by volume (ABV)”

Madeira can be dry or sweet depending upon the distilled spirit used and the time of fermentation. Other fortified wines include marsala, sherry, port and vermouth. Incidentally, for those who make homemade bone broth, use a dry vermouth instead of wine or vinegar to help dissolve the calcium in the bones. The resulting taste is vastly superior.

How did our evil leaders know that pubs and taverns are ground zero for popular uprisings? Well, that was the case during our first Revolution…

Before we get too deep into our conversations, just a reminder that civility is what keeps the Qtree a place of sanctuary and intellectual inspiration. Cutting completely loose belongs over at the UTree, not here at the QTree. Civility reigns in this august public house. Rules here if you need a refresher or are new. Thank you in advance for giving our burly bouncers nothing to do.

Now, shall we fortify ourselves with a glass of madeira and get down to funny business?

https://twitter.com/RexChapman/status/1334329330076409857

The truth is out there.

Mayor Rudy Giuliani, attorney Jenna Ellis (was she was completely disrespected at the Michigan hearing Wednesday night, or what?), Lin Wood (viciously attacked by Breitbart shills for Cocaine Mitch) and Sidney Powell (holding up well under the immense pressure of The System bearing down) are the champions of this hour.

I was up until almost 3 a.m. the other night catching up on all the news happening. Find a listing at the end of this post of those videos and links that may have been missed, what with all the stuff happening.

Things are narrowing to a point now.

It is clear that the corrupt Republicans are being exposed. This has to happen. The trick, I think, is to expose the width and depth of their corruption without hurting our President as he fights to retain the White House and the Senate.

Georgia is RINO Ground Zero. The Breitbart attack on Lin Wood is showing the cracks in the UniParty Republican cadre. War Room Pandemic, episode 557, has a great discussion about the Georgia Republican Situation:

[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UxxBwVBKvgQ&w=560&h=315]

The feckless Republican senators who have betrayed the American worker highlights the quintessential tension between Wall Street and Main Street. It is things like this that causes patriot blood to boil:

Big Tech Giveaway. FTA:

“The Fairness for High-Skilled Immigrants Act has been called the greatest corporate welfare program for Big Tech in recent memory. Lee has persistently sought to pass the corporate giveaway, with previous attempts to eliminate per-country-caps being blocked by Democrat Dick Durbin and Republican Rick Scott. Neither Senator objected to the unanimous passage of the modified S386 legislation on Wednesday afternoon.

Big Tech monopolies such as Apple, Google and Microsoft have fervently lobbied in favor of eliminating per-country caps, seeking to replace their American workforces with de facto indentured workers who accept lower wages and worse working conditions. The pervasive use of the H-1B visa in the American technology industry has displaced countless American workers from their careers.”

And then there was this, a Republican Deep Six Gang meeting Thursday regarding immigration with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and George Soros toadies. FTA:

Republican Senators Marco Rubio, John Cornyn, Susan Collins, and Thom Tillis will attend a Thursday “summit” meeting hosted by the “American Business Immigration Coalition,” a pro-amnesty group consisting of big business donors, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, as well as the George Soros-funded United We Dream organization.”

Cozying up with Democrat amnesty advocates, these bought-off Republicans care nothing for the American worker, our sovereignty, and the safety of citizens. They are selling us out! They are like vultures, waiting for the death of the Trump presidency when they can fully undo all that President Trump has done on behalf of the Forgotten Men and Women of this great nation. It’s positively Potteresque:

[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rczQBIhLXrk&w=560&h=315]

The lovely and brilliant Candace Owens puts the Georgia situation in perspective:

But evil, greedy politicians have underestimated us and President Trump. Our President will not allow China, Soros, and sold-out, seditious politicians to destroy our republic. As Gen. Flynn (#FightLikeFlynn) says, “The president has clear paths to victory.” Paths. Not path. Oh yes, indeed. Keeping the faith here with you all and millions of Americans. We will prevail.

And did I tell you that we’ve got a new dartboard at the back of the pub? Unlimited darts! Enjoy!

Stuff you might have missed:

President Trump Speech

Bards of War Convo with Gen. Flynn

Georgia Senate Committee Hearing with Rudy (the now famous video evidence is introduced here and by the end of the hearing the state senators are falling all over themselves to get to the bottom of the steal.)

Presser/Rally with Sidney and Lin

Nevada Hearing on Voter Fraud Evidence

Fifteen Signs You are in an Abusive Relationship with Your Government

Here’s the cabal’s electoral battle plan used to steal our election:

And here is the CDC with our Covid vaccination card:

Here is DNI John Ratcliffe revealing that our leaders are being blackmailed and bribed by Chy-Na:

Here’s the great Texan Louie Gohmert speaking plainly.

And the Senate does not want to get rid of Section 230, a matter of national defense. President Trump says, VETO to the Defense Bill! He’s not playing around.

Where are those darts? It’s my turn!

CNN Sucks: A Party to Celebrate

A great day to celebrate friends – another victory in the war against Fake News!

There’s so much I could say, but it’s better to let the videos speak for themselves.

First, James O’Keefe drops the mic on CNN in a HUGE way…

Then the Tapes start to Drop…

There so much here I won’t even try to unpack it all. The ridiculousness of comparing the presumed Trump-Biden transition to 9/11 is rich, given that all CNN cared about in the Obama-Trump transition was “Russia Russia Russia” and nothing of genuine NATSEC threats!

Here’s James O’Keefe interviewed on Hannity:

And James O’Keef on the Right-Wing Mark Levin Show (apparently his first name is “Right-Wing” and not “Mark,” who knew?)

Today we have some more Videos Drop… starting with actual proof of what we already knew, that CNN was carrying the water protecting Hunter Biden…

CNN Execs SPIKE COVERAGE Of New York Post Hunter Biden Laptop Bombshell:

Next comes this exposure of outrageous comments by Cynthia Hudson…

CNN Senior Vice President Cynthia Hudson TERRIFIED That Cubans Support Trump; “Attracted to bullies”

…and a third recording of Jeff Zucker directly:

Jeff Zucker Labels Donald Trump A Bigger Threat To National Security Than Voter Fraud

None of this is really that revelatory to Qtree readers, other than of course having smoking gun evidence of things we’ve known all along. Howard Beale fans knew this a long time ago:

But for now let’s take a brief victory lap

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RhLqILz45NI

Remember what this is all about

And of course one last time…

CNN SUCKS!

12-2-20 Midweek Musings

Wait for the Lord

No matter that it seems like we’re waiting on President Trump, or Sidney Powell or Lin Wood or AG Barr or the Federal and Supreme Courts . . . or whoever . . . we’re really waiting for God, the LORD, to show his power in righting the wrong that has become or Presidential election.

So far, I have a good deal of confidence in President Trump, a fair amount in Attorneys Powell and Wood, but less in AG Barr.

But, I must, we must, hold total confidence in God in this matter. We know God put President Trump and others in positions of authority for His purposes. We know God is omniscient and omnipotent and that His plan is perfect, ultimately working for the good of those who love Him.

Now, here’s the rub. We also know that God’s ways are not our ways and that we have no hope of understanding His specific plans for our future. We must, however, hold our faith in God and wait for Him . . . and pray.

We have no other choice.

Psalm 130 

1 Out of the depths I have cried to You, O Lord;
Lord, hear my voice!
Let Your ears be attentive
To the voice of my supplications.

If You, Lord, should mark iniquities,
O Lord, who could stand?
But there is forgiveness with You,
That You may be feared.

I wait for the Lord, my soul waits,
And in His word I do hope.
My soul waits for the Lord
More than those who watch for the morning—
Yes, more than those who watch for the morning.

O Israel, hope in the Lord;
For with the Lord there is mercy,
And with Him is abundant redemption.
And He shall redeem Israel
From all his iniquities.

Psalm 27 

1 The Lord is my light and my salvation;
Whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the strength of my life;
Of whom shall I be afraid?
When the wicked came against me
To eat up my flesh,
My enemies and foes,
They stumbled and fell.
Though an army may encamp against me,
My heart shall not fear;
Though war may rise against me,
In this I will be confident.

One thing I have desired of the Lord,
That will I seek:
That I may dwell in the house of the Lord
All the days of my life,
To behold the beauty of the Lord,
And to inquire in His temple.
For in the time of trouble
He shall hide me in His pavilion;
In the secret place of His tabernacle
He shall hide me;
He shall set me high upon a rock.

And now my head shall be lifted up above my enemies all around me;
Therefore I will offer sacrifices of joy in His tabernacle;
I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to the Lord.

Hear, O Lord, when I cry with my voice!
Have mercy also upon me, and answer me.
When You said, “Seek My face,”
My heart said to You, “Your face, Lord, I will seek.”
Do not hide Your face from me;
Do not turn Your servant away in anger;
You have been my help;
Do not leave me nor forsake me,
O God of my salvation.
10 When my father and my mother forsake me,
Then the Lord will take care of me.

11 Teach me Your way, O Lord,
And lead me in a smooth path, because of my enemies.
12 Do not deliver me to the will of my adversaries;
For false witnesses have risen against me,
And such as breathe out violence.
13 I would have lost heart, unless I had believed
That I would see the goodness of the Lord
In the land of the living.

14 Wait on the Lord;
Be of good courage,
And He shall strengthen your heart;
Wait, I say, on the Lord!

Never Be Discouraged
There is really nothing we need to know
or even try to understand.
If we refuse to be discouraged
and trust God’s guiding hand.
So take heart and meet each minute
with faith in God’s great love,
Aware that every day of life
is controlled by God above…
And never dread tomorrow
or what the future brings,
Just pray for strength and courage
and trust God in all things.
And never grow discouraged
be patient and just wait
for “God never comes too early
and He never comes too late!”
Helen Steiner Rice

Patience
Most of the battles of life are won
By looking beyond the clouds to the sun
And having the patience to wait for the day
When the sun comes out and the clouds float away
Helen Steiner Rice

God Bless Us, Every One

This is my test post to see if I can still access authorship on Wolf’s new site.

May God be blessing us individually & corporately as we continue to fight the good fight on behalf of Truth, Justice, & the American Way. Especially as we support our beloved President Trump who has been such a strong & sacrificial leader for our beleaguered land.

Here’s a clever reminder to pray for our land daily…

Dear Lord please guide & direct these new Q Tree adventures!!!

That video above was from 1986, a banner year in my family. My brothers & I each graduated that year: one w/ an MA; one w/ a BA; & one w/ a high school diploma. How things have changed…

Even marred by masks & social distancing that last song still makes me want to stand up & cheer. Our land is worth fighting for to preserve Freedom for ourselves & our posterity. Dear Lord, grant us complete victory over the enemies of our land & our souls, in Jesus’ Name!
