“We do not believe any group of men adequate enough or wise enough to operate without scrutiny or without criticism.

This Stormwatch Monday Open Thread remains open – VERY OPEN – a place for everybody to post whatever they feel they would like to tell the White Hats, and the rest of the MAGA/KAG/KMAG world (with KMAG being a bit of both).
And indeed, it’s Monday…again.
But we WILL get through it!
…and we will have fun doing it, too!
The Rules
Boilerplate, more or less, but worth reading again and again, if only for the minor changes, and to stay out of moderation.
The bottom line is Free Speech. Theories and ideas you don’t agree with must be WELCOME here, and you must be part of that welcoming. But you do NOT need to be part of any agreement.
Bottom line – respect other people’s FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS.
Our only additional requirement is that you do so NICELY. Or at least try to make some effort in that direction.
SO….. [ENGAGE BOILERPLATE…..]
We must endeavor to persevere to love our frenemies – even here.
Those who cannot deal with this easy requirement will be forced to jump the hoops of moderation, so that specific comments impugning other posters and violating the minimal rules can be sorted out and tossed in the trash.
In Wheatie’s words, “We’re on the same side here so let’s not engage in friendly fire.”
That includes the life skill of just ignoring certain other posters.
We do have a site – The U Tree – where civility is not a requirement. Interestingly, people don’t really go there much. Nevertheless, if you find yourself in an “argument” that can’t really stay civil, please feel free to “take it to the U Tree”. The U Tree is also a good place to report any technical difficulties, if you’re unable to report them here. Please post your comment there on one of Wolf’s posts, or in reply to one of Wolf’s comments, to make sure he sees it (though it may take a few hours).
We also have a backup site, called The Q Tree as well, which is really The Q Tree 579486807. You might call it “Second Tree”. The URL for that site is https://theqtree579486807.wordpress.com/. If this site (theqtree.com) ever goes down, please reassemble at the Second Tree.
If the Second Tree goes down, please go to The U Tree, or to our Gab Group, which is located at https://gab.com/groups/4178.
We also have some “old rules” and important guidelines, outlined here, in a very early post, on our first New Year’s Day, in 2019. The main point is not to make violent threats against people, which then have to be taken seriously by law enforcement, and which can be used as a PRETEXT by enemies of this site.
In the words of Wheatie, “Let’s not give the odious Internet Censors a reason to shut down this precious haven that Wolf has created for us.”
A Moment of Prayer
Our policy on extreme religious freedom on this site is discussed HERE. Please feel free to pray and praise God anytime and anywhere.
Thus, please pray for our real President, the one who actually won the election.
You may also pray for our nation, our world, and even our enemies.
Call To Battle
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 Day Year:
placeholder
noun
something which holds the place of another, such as this default post which “holds the place” of what would be an interesting and varied weekly Monday post.
verb
to do something to Eric Holder, as in “Please placeholder under arrest.”
This Sanctuary Sunday Open Thread, with full respect to those who worship God on the Sabbath, is a place to reaffirm our worship of our Creator, our Father, our King Eternal.
It’s also a place to read, post, and discuss news that is worth knowing and sharing. Please post links to any news stories that you use as sources or quote from.
In the QTree, we’re a friendly and civil lot. We encourage free speech and the open exchange and civil discussion of different ideas. Topics aren’t constrained, and sound logic is highly encouraged, all built on a solid foundation of truth and established facts.
We have a policy of mutual respect, shown by civility. Civility encourages discussions, promotes objectivity and rational thought in discourse, and camaraderie in the participants – characteristics we strive toward in our Q Tree community.
Please show respect and consideration for our fellow QTreepers. Before hitting the “post” button, please proofread your post and make sure you’re addressing the issue only, and not trying to confront the poster. Keep to the topic – avoid “you” and “your”. Here in The Q Tree, personal attacks, name-calling, ridicule, insults, baiting, and other conduct for which a penalty flag would be thrown are VERBOTEN.
In The Q Tree, we’re compatriots, sitting around the campfire, roasting hot dogs, making s’mores, and discussing, agreeing, and disagreeing about whatever interests us. This board will remain a home for those who seek respectful conversations.
Colossians 3:2 says, “Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things,” or, as the NET puts it, “Keep thinking about things above, not things on the earth.” To set one’s mind on something is to choose to think about it, influencing one’s goals and guiding one’s course of action. The first part of the chapter is worth quoting in full to give the proper context:
“Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.
“Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry. Because of these, the wrath of God is coming. You used to walk in these ways, in the life you once lived. But now you must also rid yourselves of all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from your lips. Do not lie to each other, since you have taken off your old self with its practices and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator. Here there is no Gentile or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave or free, but Christ is all, and is in all.
“Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.
“Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts. And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him” (Colossians 3:1–17).
Colossians was written by the apostle Paul to the church in the city of Colossae. The culture of Colossae was thoroughly pagan and immoral, as it was in most of the Roman world—and as it is in much of the world today. The Christians in Colossae, however, could no longer take their cues from the world around them. They had to take direction from “above.” Although physically in the world, they were not to believe the same things that the culture around them did. They were not to behave according to the standards of the culture around them. That would be taking their cues from “below.”
Paul describes the “below” culture in a number of words and concepts: anger, rage, malice, slander, filthy language, lying. The “above” culture, in contrast, is characterized by compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, patience, forgiveness, peace, singing, worship, and gratitude.
How are we to cultivate the values that are from above while living below? It takes a concentrated effort. We must “set our minds” to it. We are inundated with messages that promote the “below” behavior. If we listen to the radio, overhear conversations at work, read billboards, watch the news, read the newspaper, flip through a magazine at the doctor’s office, watch TV programs or movies, etc., we will be constantly directed to embrace values that are clearly from below. Even if the messages we receive are not overtly immoral, the perspective is one that excludes God and prioritizes things as though life on earth is all that matters—our happiness and fulfillment (the “right” to be happy) are top priority. If we want to be directed “from above,” we must make an effort to counteract the messages that are omnipresent in our culture. To set our minds on things above, we must read and meditate on Scripture, attend church, listen to uplifting music, and read things that turn our hearts toward God. This is a recurring theme in Scripture:
Romans 12:2: “Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.”
Matthew 6:19–20, 33: “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven. . . . Seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.”
1 Timothy 6:17: “Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment.”
Following his contrast of things below and things above in Colossians 3, Paul goes on to give a list of standards for Christian behavior that make absolutely no sense in today’s culture. Everything about the individualist, self-centered priorities that have high value today run counter to the type of restraint and sacrifice that Paul enjoins in verses 18–22:
“Wives, submit yourselves to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord. Husbands, love your wives and do not be harsh with them. Children, obey your parents in everything, for this pleases the Lord. Fathers, do not embitter your children, or they will become discouraged. Slaves, obey your earthly masters in everything; and do it, not only when their eye is on you and to curry their favor, but with sincerity of heart and reverence for the Lord.”
The only way that a person can live according to the above dictates is if he or she is taking directions from somewhere other than the secular culture. Thinking on “things above” (the truths of God’s Word) not only guides us in what we should do but gives the reasons we should do it (grace, our position in Christ, our eternal reward, etc.). As we believe the truth “from above” more than the lies “from below,” we will start to act like creatures born from above, who have been raised with Christ (Colossians 3:1) and seated with Him at the right hand of the Father (Ephesians 2:6).
It’s getting ridiculous, how these Biden scandals NOT ONLY involve the same corrupt forces over and over and over again, but EVEN MORE how they manage to “hook up” more and more of the same corrupt players in each new scandal. It’s like they’re turning into “all star cast” events.
Ridiculous!
The reason I became outraged enough to do this post, is that I could literally SEE how Twitter managed to pull off the SPIKING of the latest chapter in this story, by kicking investigative reporter Patrick Howley off Twitter right before the new “Chinese money” angle of this story – HIS STORY – broke.
Notice how they set it up using the Fake News Media – just like when they set up Trump.
No, I have a much better idea of how and why they took down Howley – as he was about to blow the doors open on what I’m about to tell you.
Howley’s reporting on the controversial Biden Center at University of Pennsylvania is actually a great story, which began back in February, but it has a lot of moving parts, and deserves some careful analysis, because I suspect it goes MUCH, MUCH deeper than what Howley found, even adding his recent China stuff that Twitter successfully blocked.
My extension of his work even brings in stuff from Robert Malone, who is just as shocked about the corrupting influence of the World Economic Forum on SCIENCE as I am. Malone said we need to find the tentacles of WEF, and that is exactly what I’m doing here. In fact, we have WEF’s and China’s tentacle prints all over this sucker.
Indeed, I would almost go so far as to describe the Biden Center at University of Pennsylvania as “Biden’s version of the Clinton Foundation”.
No wonder Mayorkas and “Big Sis” are forced to cover for the guy.
You starting to see why this is important?
So what I’m going to do is to present the proper links to Patrick Howley’s stuff, but then elaborate it with my own CONTEXT about the suppression of his story, and how that leads DIRECTLY to today’s headlines.
This is almost EXACTLY like what happened with the New York Post story about the Hunter Biden “laptop from hell”. Twitter deleted that breaking news tweet, and even suspended the account, to protect the Obama-Biden regime from that story.
Twitter acted like a NANNY and said “NO – you people can’t talk about this.” And what happened? We “elected” – with a lot of cheating – a damned TRAITOR – more corrupt than any president in MY lifetime – who seems intent on starting a world war, after he destroys our economy.
TWITTER’S.
ACTIONS.
HAVE CONSEQUENCES.
Well, I’m sick of it. So I’m talking BACK to this suppression, and I’m going to spread the word on this rather complex little scandal which deserves much more sunlight than I, personally, can give it.
BUSTED: UPenn, Sponsor of Biden’s Think Tank, Profits From Vaccines And Had Staff Shakeup Over Foreign Money Including ‘CHINA’ Money. I am on the Stew Peters Show TODAY @RealStewPeters and I am breaking it first on Gab. LET’S GO!!!!
I’m going to go through this carefully, because it’s the DETAILS that show both the OUTRAGEOUS and the HEROIC.
Howley’s early reporting on this stuff was back in February, when he uncovered most of the Pfizer / UPenn / Biden Center / FactCheck.org corruption. That stuff is actually pretty shocking, and most people haven’t heard about it.
What’s happening now, is that Howley apparently got some additional tips from University staff who were “let go” when there were questions about Chinese money coming into the university, and where it might be going.
Hey, I’ve got questions, too.
We could shrug our shoulders and say “OH, WELL, IT’S JUST ONE MORE BIDEN SCANDAL”, or even worse “OH, WELL, IT’S JUST ONE MORE BIDEN SCANDAL BEING COVERED UP”, but NO – not this time. We’re gonna give this the exposure it deserves.
The FAKE NEWS won’t cover it, but WE WILL. And we’ll cover the cover-up.
First things first, you will notice at the top of that Gab post, that MAGA hottie Lauren Witzke is reposting this ON GAB.
That is THIS WOMAN.
Gotta love this lady. She is very smart, an incredible fighter, utterly unafraid of the PC crowd, and yes – she is not exactly hard to look at.
But why is she retweeting this on GAB and not TWITTER?
“oH, tHaT’S WHy!”
Hilarious!
I love the little “Don’t miss what’s happening” at the end. Twitter literally makes us MISS what’s happening, and then has the CHUTZPAH to say “Don’t miss what’s happening”.
What a bunch of scumbags.
This is just typical communist or Nazi hypocrisy, glorifying themselves in the humiliation of their victims. Twitter reminds me of the SS officers who forced black American POWs to crawl on hands and knees and rode on them like animals. Or the young ChiCom TOAD who took over my old employer, and LECTURED the American employees whose jobs he was about to steal, how this was a great victory and partnership for us.
That’s the kind of mentality that Twitter has engendered in the people who work there. Think about it. Twitter suppresses the people we go looking for, and then says “Don’t miss those people! Come to Twitter!”
You EVIL fuckers.
It’s just galling as all hell. Twitter DESERVES to be taken over by Elon Musk.
THEY DESERVE IT.
And why is Howley “breaking” this latest segment of the story on GAB and not his usual platform – TWITTER?
Well, as we will hear later, Howley was suspended on Twitter one day before the latest update on the story broke. And here’s the boy who carried the knife for the Biden administration.
All they can do now, to cover up their crime, is throw the chaff of “racism” and the countermeasures of “white supremacy”.
HOW CONVENIENT. But why?
Well, when you get inside this story, you will hear all kinds of important names. There’s a secretary of state, who is connected to a university, and a presidential center at that university.
There’s an ambassador, who was the university president, until made ambassador by a nation’s president, who happens to be the same president with the presidential center at the university.
There’s a drug company, deeply related to this university and its president, and to the nation’s president, and which is now almost its own branch of government, which makes payments to the university, where much of the technology of a certain vaccine was developed, provided that the vaccine is repeatedly approved by agencies under control of the national president, and is otherwise “recommended” or “required” into increased usage (they use the word “milestones”) by everybody else.
There is a very RACIST communist country, which shockingly did ALL the clinical trials for the drug company, including the vaccine, sending money to the university in exchange for admitting students OF that race and FROM that country – and which money is free to flow to a certain center connected to the president who appointed the ambassador.
And THOSE students from THAT racist communist country are known as “princelings”, being the children of the elite communist leadership of the country.
So there are a lot of important people connected to this story, and SOMEHOW their likely concerns were addressed by Twitter taking down the pesky reporter one day before his story broke.
In my opinion, it is very likely that our government was SPYING on Mister Howley, and was in communication with Twitter, ready to “prevent disinformation”.
In other words, the lying, shady mechanism that will be formalized under “Big Sis”, a.k.a. Nina Jankowicz, is ALREADY working, to some extent, and the ACTUAL result of “Big Sis” and her “Disinformation Governance Board” will be to ORDER social media platforms not to allow certain things to be posted.
In fact, it would not surprise me if Nina Jankowicz herself was ALREADY involved in this little episode. You see – that is a common tactic of the communists – to “propose” what they’re already doing – and which they know they can successfully and stealthily deploy.
Maybe somebody should ask her, although I doubt that she will tell us the truth.
SO – now that I’ve hinted at the full breadth of this story, let’s look at the exact details.
Let’s go from the Gab post to the latest National File article.
[The following is a snippet of the beginning of the article.]
University of Pennsylvania financial documents obtained by NATIONAL FILE show that the UPenn fund that bankrolls Joe Biden’s think tank the Penn Biden Center makes money in “milestone payments” from the sale of Pfizer-BioNTech vaccines and from FDA approvals of the injections. The University of Pennsylvania, which paid Joe Biden prior to his presidential run, was accepting big money from donors apparently to carve out spaces for foreign students at UPenn including from Communist China, and NATIONAL FILE can confirm that internal controversy and a staff shakeup occurred when staff questioned how international funds were being spent. With Joe Biden able to return to the Penn Biden Center after his presidency, Biden puts himself in a position to personally profit from the vaccines he is pushing. Pfizer-BioNTech is trying to get a new authorization for a child booster for 5 to 11 year olds.
Under the watch of UPenn president Amy Gutmann, massive amounts of money have flowed into the university’s funds apparently to import students from around the world including from Communist China and the “People’s Republic of China” with administrator notes including “MAKE SURE STUDENT IS FROM CHINA…” Amy Gutmann, the UPenn president who oversaw the establishment of Joe Biden’s think tank the Penn Biden Center in 2018, is now Biden’s Ambassador to Germany. There were arguments in the UPenn administration about where the Chinese-oriented money and other foreign money was going. Some insiders questioned how funds for international students were being managed without transparency, and the arguments led to a staff overhaul. The controversy stemmed from funds set aside for international students.
The Penn Biden Center is housed on the UPenn campus and in Washington, D.C. pulling funds directly from the general funds of the University of Pennsylvania, and Joe Biden or his surrogates can return to the Penn Biden Center after his presidency. Joe Biden’s think tank was previously managed by his current Secretary of State Tony Blinken. One donation specified “$25k each” in payment to UPenn in exchange for “Students from the People’s Republic of China admitted…”
Documents obtained by NATIONAL FILE show that the University of Pennsylvania, which hosts and funds Joe Biden’s think tank called the Penn Biden Center, directly profits from the sale of Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna Coronavirus vaccines. The University gets more money if more vaccines are sold. The University of Pennsylvania also gets “milestone payments” when the Biden administration’s Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approves a Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine, which represents a massive conflict of interest for Biden. BioNTech pays the University of Pennsylvania Board of Trustees directly, and the university is protected from civil liability if people try to sue for “bodily injury” or “death” caused by BioNTech vaccines.
BioNTech signed a licensing agreement in 2018 with the University of Pennsylvania, which directly funds the Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement. Even though Coronavirus had not yet leaked out of the Wuhan Institute of Virology when the deal was made, the 2018 agreement ensured massive payments for the University of Pennsylvania if its technology ended up getting used in new mRNA-based vaccines. Well, UPenn’s technology did end up getting used in the mRNA-based Coronavirus vaccine produced by Pfizer and BioNTech, and the deal has led to massive revenue for the university. Joe Biden, who was working for the University of Pennsylvania when the deal was made, received more than $900,000 from the University of Pennsylvania in the two years before he ran for president in this past election.
The University of Pennsylvania also houses the pro-vaccine website FactCheck.org. University of Pennsylvania president Amy Gutmann is now Biden’s nominee for Ambassador to Germany. The Biden administration’s FDA has speedily approved or authorized Pfizer-BioNTech vaccines including for children — all while the Penn Biden Center’s parent university enjoys massive profits from vaccine sales and FDA approval. And the Pfizer-connected FDA even knew about numerous adverse events for children related to the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine, but allowed children to be injected with it anyway. Now, as the FDA considers emergency use authorization for a Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine for children as young as six months old, the direct financial relationship between these vaccines and Joe Biden’s think tank must be exposed.
There are three more big sections of well-documented and sourced reporting I have not included above.
University of Pennsylvania Profits From Pfizer-BioNTech And Moderna Vaccines
Joe Biden’s Penn Biden Center is hosted and reportedly funded by the University of Pennsylvania
UPenn Hosts The Pro-Vaccine Website FactCheck.Org
I think the last one is particularly relevant to Ms. Jankowicz. Do you think that this “disinformation expert” lady who LIED about the Biden laptop might have FactCheck.Org on speed dial?
I really urge you to get in there and read that last section, because the FUNDING of FactCheck.org is really ugly, high-level, evil stuff. It’s INCESTUOUS. This is the REGIME ELITE protecting itself.
This is WHY people go along with the lies – because there’s TOO MUCH MONEY AND POWER involved. Nobody even thinks about valuing THE TRUTH above the money and power.
NOW – I think it’s very important to look at the lady ambassador, who was president of that university, deeply related to all the vaccine development, tied to the profits thereof, and nominally in charge of FactCheck.org – Amy Gutmann. In my opinion, she is key, just like Michael Sussmann is key to the Russia hoax. It is these hidden, high-position players who orchestrate the corruption. Just imagine what she is going to be able to do in Germany, as the American Bolshevik Elite now go to war against Russia FROM Europe, through Germany and Ukraine, trying to bring back the neoliberal version of Bolshevism everywhere on this planet.
This woman is not a physical or biological scientist. Although she entered college as a math major, she switched to political science, and all three of her degrees are in that subject. Her biography is very well worth reading.
This section, from Wikipedia, includes key points (my emphasis).
In 2009, Barack Obama appointed Gutmann chair of the Presidential Commission for the Study of Bioethical Issues, and reappointed her in early 2012, a position she held through 2016.[64][65] The Bioethics Commission issued 10 reports[66] on a variety of issues including protections for adult and pediatric participants in medical research, and the ethics of genomics and neuroscience.[67] The Commission’s meetings were open to the public and streamed live—and all its recommendations to the President were unanimous.[68][69][70] Its capstone report, Bioethics for Every Generation, focused on the mission of bioethics commissions in advancing democratic deliberation and bioethics education.
Recapping, what are in my opinion the important involvements.
chairman of Obama’s commission on bioethics
national security advisor to the FBI on academic (university) issues
member of commission on trust, media, and democracy
on the board of the Vanguard group
on the board of the globalist Berggruen Institute (transhumanism issues)
member of WEF and particularly its forum GULF (university leaders)
There is a MIND-BLOWING amount of information about her WEF involvement.
I’m not going to give links for them to cover up this stuff – just use search engines. It’s everywhere. The earlier pictures are also from WEF gatherings.
Now that we’ve added WEF to the picture, I think the details are going to fill in themselves. THIS is exactly what KlauSS SSchwab was talking about.
I think it’s pretty obvious that Patrick Howley was on a VERY hot story, and “the powers that be” simply slowed down the discovery process by hindering it out of the gate.
Finally, let me show you the sad reality of what Howley was forced to do, to try to get SOME exposure – ANY exposure – to this horrifying story of greed, money, and “shabby ethics in the name of ethics”.
Howley was forced to take this story to Stew Peters, who is a great guy, but nowhere close to the mainstream. The mainstream media writes off Stew without a thought, whereas a guy like Tucker can get at least SOME mainstream eyeballs on his material. SO – what is very likely a scandal every bit as big as the Biden laptop – but a LOT less “sexy” – was forced to go on the “cobra water” circuit, which is not exactly high-credibility.
Just watch. Listen for the “kicked off Twitter” part in particular.
I think Stew makes a very good point, even though gently. Nobody is going to be arrested. The people who order arrests are RUNNING THE SHOW. They’re in charge. Nobody is going to use the corrupt FBI to arrest their own corrupt bosses.
But that’s not the point here.
Our point is to make the WHOLE WORLD realize that we are ruled by a bunch of scumbags.
SO – just like the “Argentinian generals” – after their last failed war – when they go down – when they finally go down – there will be NOBODY on their side, except themselves.
And there are a lot more of us, than there are of them.
Until then, patience.
It would be nice if this story got a deeper look. At the very least, I think we may have found a key point of intersection between the WEFFEN SS, China, Pfizer, Biden, Mayorkas and Big Sis, and their preparation for the COVID SCAM.
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.
Busy Week
Between 2000 Mules and the SCOTUS leak, things have been hectic out there. The latter item is “real” to the establishment (i.e., the Left), and they’re melting down. 2000 Mules, on the other hand, isn’t “real” to them.
I’m sure you’ve noticed now that no revelation gets any sort of traction in Washington DC, traction that causes someone in authority to actually act, until it gets into the Yellow Stream Media. (And these days, only information they want to act on, gets there.) 2000 Mules will probably never do so; and if not, it won’t show up on the DC radar and nothing will come of it. The claim that the election was stolen will continue to be dismissed by anyone who has any power to do something about it.
This is not the same as them not knowing about the election being stolen. They do know. It’s just that while the YSM isn’t hollering and screaming about it, they can ignore it. And they do. The YSM still continues to act as agenda billboard, and the Left controls the YSM. So this week we deal with abortion, not the stolen election. Last week it was Ukraine, Ukraine, Ukraine.
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.

Spot Prices
All prices are Kitco Ask, 3PM MT Friday (at that time the markets close for the weekend).
Precious metals continue their downward slide. This is partially due to manipulation, but the fact of the matter is that investors will put their money where it will make a return. With interest rates going up, they actually like dollars, because dollars earn more interest. Gold, to them, is a way to not lose money most of the time.

JWST instrument commissioning proceeds apace.
NASA made a blog post explaining one of the more practical aspects of the James Web Space Telescope. Where can it point?
It must perpetually present the heat shield towards the sun, or it’s toast. Literally. Well, “toast” is a relative term; getting up to room temperature would be bad for the optics and sensors.
James Web Space Telescope. Mirror in gold, sunshield in gray “below” it.
So it seems like JWST can only look at half of the sky, basically the same half someone on Earth would see at midnight, with the sun on the other side of the big heat shield we call Planet Earth. And it doesn’t rotate like we do here, which lets us see almost all of the sky between just-after-sunset and just-before-sunrise, with the thin band in between only up when the sun is up and thus washed out. So even though we can see most of the sky on any given night, JWST can only see half of the sky (albeit 24/7, there being no daytime for it), right? [Note: I am ignoring the effect–on the Earth observer–of latitude, which permanently hides part of the sky from him or her, but on the other hand allows other parts of the sky to be seen any time at night.]
Yes, and no. JWST in orbit about the sun, once a year (since it sits at Earth/Sun L2), so six months from now, it can see the other half of the sky, just like our midnight astronomer here on Earth.
But it’s a bit more restricted than that. The JWST mirror cannot be moved. It’s not on any kind of a swivel. It cannot swivel either left-right or up-down in the picture above.
To aim the telescope, the entire spacecraft has to be rotated, with gyros. In the picture above it can be rotated 360 degrees about a “vertical” axis, keeping the sunshade where it is but turning it (and the antenna) like a record on a record player. (This is the yaw direction of rotation.)
It can also tip, just a bit, up and down, “nodding” basically, this is called the pitch direction. It has about a 50 degree travel in the pitch direction, as shown in the following two diagrams.
When JWST’s sun shield is face on to the sun, that shield is getting the maximum amount of solar radiation, and thus this is called the “hot” attitude. When the telescope is pointed halfway towards being pointed directly away from the sun, the sun shield is presented to the sun at a 45 degree angle and thus collects 70.7% percent as much energy as in the “hot” attitude (i.e., the sine of 135 degrees). We don’t dare tip the spacecraft any more than that lest the actual telescope (and sensors) be exposed directly to the sun (and thereby become “toast”).
The practical effect is that the patch of sky directly opposite of the sun cannot be looked at by JWST; that part lies outside the telescope’s “field of regard.” However if you actually want to look at something there, you can wait three months and get it when that patch of sky is at a 90 degree angle to the sun because JWST has moved 90 degrees around the sun.
Over the course of one year, JWST has access to the entire sky.
As to the current commissioning activity, at least part of it is “astrometric calibration.” In other words, if we tell the telescope to point at such-and-such pitch and yaw, what does each sensor actually see? There might be a tiny bit of error from what we would expect, no instrument is exact straight from the fabrication. We’ll be able to specify an exact right ascension and declination (the analogues to longitude and latitude in the sky) and know exactly how to rotate the spacecraft to look at that point.
There’s a lot more to it than that, but I’m going to let NASA explain it:
Do you remember the moon rocket that was undergoing a “wet dress rehearsal”?
Well, it has gone through several of them, and the test was a success. They found problems they now know they need to correct.
Yes, I called it a success, even though the spacecraft would have likely malfunctioned if it had launched. Because that’s the purpose of testing: to find such problems. We found them. A test isn’t a failure just because it found something wrong; it’s a failure if it fails to find problems that do exist.
If you remember the attention given to something called Biosphere 2 about 25 years ago, that’s another example. Biosphere 2 was an attempt to build a large, perfectly sealed greenhouse and see if people could live in it indefinitely, growing their own food and being sustained as part of a balanced system (plants to absorb the CO2 they exhaled and generate O2 for them to breathe).
The idea is if we are ever to start living in space or on other planets, we need to know how to do this, at least long enough to “terraform” other planets (make them more earthlike and establish an earthlike biosphere on them so we can live there as if we were native to the place). A long manned space mission probably won’t be able to bring several years’ worth of food along; we’ll have to grow it…inside a tin can that had better not leak. The only resource “out there” is sunlight (and that’s the one thing that could get in and out of Biosphere 2 once the doors were sealed).
It was a test of our ability to make a closed system.
And the test “failed.” The concrete in the structure continued to absorb oxygen even after we thought it was done curing.
But it wasn’t a failure; we learned a lot from it. Sure on one level our first attempt at building a closed system “failed” because it couldn’t sustain people for two years, but no one actually expected it to work perfectly; the point of the exercise was to discover what we don’t know. And for that, it worked beautifully.
Biosphere 2 is still standing; you can take tours of it. It’s being used for botanical research because it’s the most isolated environment on earth (even with people traipsing about on tours).
Obligatory PSAs and Reminders
China is Lower than Whale Shit
Remember Hong Kong!!!
Whoever ends up in the cell next to his, tell him I said “Hi.”
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 !!!
In honor of the weekend and tomorrow’s annual sign of spring, we bring you:
A FURLONG TOO LATE:
INGREDIENTS
2 oz Light rum
4 oz Ginger beer
1 twist of Lemon peel
PREPARATION
Fill a highball glass almost full with ice cubes.
Pour the rum and ginger beer.
Stir well.
Garnish with the lemon twist.
Has to be less lethal than a mint julip, right?
Okay, this week:
Someone at the Supreme Court who is still unknown as of this writing leaked a draft opinion that indicates Roe vs. Wade will be overturned this term. All hell broke loose.
The documentary “2,000 Mules” about the mail-in ballot stuffing operation in the 2020 general election premiered to sold out theatres nationwide.
Primaries in Indiana and Ohio saw a clean sweep of MAGA candidates as all of President Donald Trump’s endorsed candidates won their primary races.
Pfizer dumped a whole lot of data on the clot shots that is revealing they knew what damage would be caused before the rollout of the “vaccines” now blamed for many health calamities.
Information surfaced that the Center for Disease Control tracked COVID quarantine compliance by purchasing data from a third party that collects mobile phone data.
A new poll claims more voters believe in the media than Congress.
Three states file lawsuit against the Biden Administration for censorship.
Elon Musk took his mother to an expensive fundraiser.
A judge in the Sussmann case being investigated by John Durham is reviewing the “attorney-client privilege” claimed by the defendent.
The CDC tried to reimpose the mask nonsense.
A majority of Americans want voter ID for elections. 84%. That’s more than a majority. That’s just about everybody.
I don’t know about the rest of you, but politics in America has become really, really exhausting. We bounce around from one freaking political or government crisis to the next one, and we’re never given a single moment to try to catch our breath.
Every single day Democrats are calling anyone who doesn’t believe as they do vile names, and Republicans while generally not as graphic as their Democrat counterparts, are still at times also guilty of extreme rhetoric. Whatever happened to reasonable people sitting down and hashing things out and coming to a mutually acceptable agreement, without the vitriol and accusations that permeate our current political discourse?
Is that gone for good? Have we reached a point where our political discourse will never again be calm and measured? I sure hope not, because I’m exhausted watching all the drama coming out of Washington. Our politicians on both sides of the aisle have forgotten the time-worn tradition that ‘what governs the best, governs the least’. Once the political class gets involved in anything they make it worse.
But it just seems that our professional political class revels in stirring up the emotions of their constituents over contentious issues. Keeping people on edge, frightened, and angry. If they don’t have a contentious issue they create one. Whatever it takes to fire up their base. It has become all about winning elections instead of governing. Both parties are now in a constant state of political campaigns, now and then fitting in a vote on naming a post office after someone.
The left is learning they can’t fuck with Elon Musk.
This is not a bad thing in the overall scheme of society.
So the leak distracted from the Pfizer dump. 46,000 people took the vaccine in a trial period….42,000 had adverse affects and 1200 died. FDA rules that one death in 30 days closes the trial down…it didn't…why?
The discourse on this site is to be CIVIL – no name calling, baiting, or threatening others here is allowed. Those who are so inclined may visit Wolf’s other sanctuary, the U-Tree, to slog it out.

1But Saul, still breathing threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest 2and asked him for letters to the synagogues at Damascus, so that if he found any belonging to the Way, men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem. 3Now as he journeyed he approached Damascus, and suddenly a light from heaven flashed about him. 4And he fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?” 5And he said, “Who are you, Lord?” And he said, “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting; 6but rise and enter the city, and you will be told what you are to do.” 7The men who were traveling with him stood speechless, hearing the voice but seeing no one. 8Saul arose from the ground; and when his eyes were opened, he could see nothing; so they led him by the hand and brought him into Damascus. 9And for three days he was without sight, and neither ate nor drank. 10Now there was a disciple at Damascus named Anani’as. The Lord said to him in a vision, “Anani’as.” And he said, “Here I am, Lord.” 11And the Lord said to him, “Rise and go to the street called Straight, and inquire in the house of Judas for a man of Tarsus named Saul; for behold, he is praying, 12and he has seen a man named Anani’as come in and lay his hands on him so that he might regain his sight.” 13But Anani’as answered, “Lord, I have heard from many about this man, how much evil he has done to thy saints at Jerusalem; 14and here he has authority from the chief priests to bind all who call upon thy name.” 15But the Lord said to him, “Go, for he is a chosen instrument of mine to carry my name before the Gentiles and kings and the sons of Israel; 16for I will show him how much he must suffer for the sake of my name.” 17So Anani’as departed and entered the house. And laying his hands on him he said, “Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus who appeared to you on the road by which you came, has sent me that you may regain your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit.” 18And immediately something like scales fell from his eyes and he regained his sight. Then he rose and was baptized, 19and took food and was strengthened. For several days he was with the disciples at Damascus. 20And in the synagogues immediately he proclaimed Jesus, saying, “He is the Son of God.”
For a second straight day, the more rabid among us have been harping about the upcoming overturning of Roe vs. Wade, if it actually comes to pass. That is still dominating the internet and meme-verse.
How many of the women rallying against overturning Roe are over-educated, under-loved millennials who sadly return from protests to a lonely microwave dinner with their cats, and no bumble matches?
My friends, do NOT get distracted by the “squirrel” that is the draft ruling on Roe V Wade. We ALL at least here, knew this was coming the minute RBG got her infernal “reward”. The timing of the release, which I am SURE has been HELD until the right moment, was curious. Most believe it was to gin up the Dem base, it was FAR too early for that, as this will “burn out” WAY before the midterms.
Others believe it was to blunt the release of ‘2000 mules’, but that will NOT stop the release, and that movie is sold out in all 200 venues, and will only SPREAD. Its impact will be a few weeks down the line when enough people see the movie, spread the word, and then others see it and realize the TRUTH about the stolen election.
So WHY did the left release the draft SCOTUS ruling NOW.
Yep, back onto Durham. He IS the 800 lb. gorilla the left FEAR, and they SHOULD. He is about to get ALL the correspondence between Hillary, her campaign, Perkins Couie, Richard Joffe, Orbis International (Christopher Steele), and Fusion GPS (Nellie Ohr) He ALREADY has more than enough info to prosecute Hillary for campaign finance law abuses, (laundering DNC and HFA campaign funds through Perkins Couie to Fusion GPS)but that is NOT the objective. The objective, as I have said before is to PROVE the conspiracy, and get ALL the players.
Once he gets HFA (Hillary for America, Orbis, Joffe, and especially Fusion GPS emails, and correspondence, it WILL open up OTHER doors. Ones that lead to MORE than Hillary. (Hi Barack…SOON bitch!).
Yes, this could be seen as a way to distract from other topics. Not just the ones mentioned, but a few others:
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention used location data from tens of millions of Americans’ phones to track compliance with lockdown orders and vaccination efforts, according to newly revealed documents.
The CDC specifically monitored Americans’ visits to churches and schools, as well as “detailed counts of visits to participating pharmacies for vaccine monitoring,” internal documents from the federal agency obtained by Vice show.
The CDC also reportedly tracked peoples’ movement during curfews and visits between neighbors.
A controversial “data broker” called SafeGraph initially provided the data to the CDC for free during the outbreak of the pandemic, the documents show. Then in 2021, the CDC reportedly hatched a deal to pay the company $420,000 for continued access.
George Orwell was off by a few decades, but there it is.
Voters have less confidence in the Democrat-controlled Congress than the establishment media, a Wednesday Politico/Morning Consult poll revealed.
While both Congress and the media have very low confidence levels, the Democrat-controlled Congress has an even lower confidence level than its Democrat-allied establishment media.
Fifty-nine percent have no or not much confidence in Rep. Nancy Pelosi’s (D-CA) Congress. Just 36 percent have a lot or some confidence in the institution.
In contrast, 46 percent of respondents have some or a lot of confidence in the establishment media, a ten-point difference. Forty-seven percent have not much or no confidence in the media, a 12-point difference.
Those numbers actually seem to be high, but still….
Don’t forget:
Those who are against abortion are not telling women what they can or cannot do with their own bodies. We're saying what they cannot do to an unborn child's body: poison it, dismember it and flush it away.

Families opting for homeschooling, private schools and other options sent enrollment down sharply in the first full school year of the pandemic, and generally it has been slow to recover.
In Houston, the largest district in Texas, enrollment tumbled by more than 22,000 to around 183,000 in fall 2021 and only about half of those students have returned. The district was shielded from making cuts in the first two years of the pandemic by what are known as “hold harmless” provisions, but those protections are expected to end. Superintendent Millard House has asked departments to cut $60 million from next year’s budget.
So where did the kids go? They are staying away from public schools.
The article does point out that enrollment is up in Florida, and down in California, in further confirmation of where the moving vans are going.
The pandemic is clearly a factor, but it’s more complicated than that.
A Dallas friend well connected with Catholic schools told me that the phone does not stop ringing at the office. Why? Parents are calling wondering how they can move their kid from public schools. Most of them are not even Catholic. As my friend said, one mother said on the phone that she wants to send her kids to a school where boys and girls go to different bathrooms and no one makes it a constitutional issue.
Homeschooling is booming, too, or another way that parents are voting against the system.
It’s all about the children, and parents are taking action.
All the Pfizer data in the universe can be released but until the MSM talks about it nobody will be listening.

26But an angel of the Lord said to Philip, “Rise and go toward the south to the road that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza.” This is a desert road. 27And he rose and went. And behold, an Ethiopian, a eunuch, a minister of the Can’dace, queen of the Ethiopians, in charge of all her treasure, had come to Jerusalem to worship 28and was returning; seated in his chariot, he was reading the prophet Isaiah. 29And the Spirit said to Philip, “Go up and join this chariot.” 30So Philip ran to him, and heard him reading Isaiah the prophet, and asked, “Do you understand what you are reading?” 31And he said, “How can I, unless some one guides me?” And he invited Philip to come up and sit with him. 32Now the passage of the scripture which he was reading was this: “As a sheep led to the slaughter or a lamb before its shearer is dumb, so he opens not his mouth. 33In his humiliation justice was denied him. Who can describe his generation? For his life is taken up from the earth.” 34And the eunuch said to Philip, “About whom, pray, does the prophet say this, about himself or about some one else?” 35Then Philip opened his mouth, and beginning with this scripture he told him the good news of Jesus. 36And as they went along the road they came to some water, and the eunuch said, “See, here is water! What is to prevent my being baptized?” 38And he commanded the chariot to stop, and they both went down into the water, Philip and the eunuch, and he baptized him. 39And when they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught up Philip; and the eunuch saw him no more, and went on his way rejoicing. 40But Philip was found at Azo’tus, and passing on he preached the gospel to all the towns till he came to Caesare’a.
You will notice that I didn’t just entitle this post “Wolf Moon’s Perspective on the Ohio Primary Election”. You see, due to Democrat lawfare in Ohio, Ohioans are actually going to have TWO Ohio primaries this year. There is a SECOND one in August, thanks to Democrats.
It’s a complicated story, but the Cliff Notes version is this. The Democrats plus their narrow majority in the state Supreme Court have enabled the communist DNC to completely disrupt the electoral process. So why would they do that? Well, in my opinion, it’s because disrupting the electoral process, and particularly the redistricting process, is the only form of “control” that Democrats still have in Ohio. In order to LEAD and in order to REMAIN RELEVANT, while not actually serving voters, Democrats will resort to literally anything to “set the agenda” and thus to appear to be in control.
Because there was no time for the Republican Secretary of State to resolve issues involving state districts in time for the May 3rd primary, all those candidates are kicked down the road to an August primary.
And do you want to know who’s behind this madness?
Eric Holder. And, next up the chain of commie command, Obama, the actual “Soros president”.
Seriously, Eric Holder is behind the Democrat electoral lawfare in Ohio. The strategy is called “Sue until they’re blue.” I have this knowledge directly from the mouth of Ohio’s current and next Secretary of State, Frank LaRose, who THANKFULLY won his primary.
See how this works? Once the Democrats – and George Soros – control the Secretary of State, elections will turn the state communist. You cannot vote your way out of communism, and you almost can’t keep from being falsely voted INTO IT.
Complicated business.
Anyway, this leads directly into one of the things I want to talk about, so let me GO BACK to the beginning, and explain what this post is all about.
Elections have consequences, and this election was a BIG ONE for Ohio – possibly bigger than the general election. Is MAGA going to dominate Ohio, or is “Kasich Republicanism” – a toadie of the globalists and Democrats – going to creep back into control? I spotted the big races very early, and have mentioned them in several posts during 2021 and 2022.
Here is a quick bibliography of some of the posts most directly concerned with Ohio races.
(December 20, 2020) This is where I saw how DeWine was not only going to sit on his rear end, in Kemp and Ducey style, over the stolen election – he was going to let people in his administration help the other side. Tsk-tsk! His people openly helped BLM drive patriots away from the Ohio Statehouse. Shame! This was the beginning of the massive anti-DeWine vote that we saw last night in the Ohio gubernatorial election. DeWine’s failure to stick up for Trump – and more importantly for RULE OF LAW – alienated a large part of his base.
On the bright side, Ohio probably got constitutional carry (coming in June) because DeWine was desperate to get past the primary. More on that below.
(February 19, 2021) This is where I immediately spotted the race to replace Senator Rob Portman as a key juncture in the future of Ohio politics. My early favorites were Josh Mandel – a DIEHARD MAGA Trump supporter – and Jane Timken – the state party chair who won the state for Trump in 2016, and who kept the state pro-Trump for 4 long years.
That Trump chose NEITHER ONE to endorse – well – THAT is a big story I will get to later in this post.
(July 21, 2021) This is where Trump’s endorsement of Mike Carey came into play, and shook up Ohio MAGA. Trump was not only grabbing the steering wheel from the GOPe – he asserted dominance over where the MAGA movement was going to go. Most “non-establishment” Republicans were favoring other MAGA candidates. Trump chose Carey and stuck by his guns. The Trump endorsement RULED.
This post, and several referenced therein, are also worth reading if you want some nitty-gritty on strange happenings in Ohio politics, thanks to Dirty Devious Democrats always trying to jimmy the machine of Ohio Republican Machine Politics.
(September 3, 2021) Mandel came out STRONGLY against the stolen election, and began hosting media appearances / voter engagements in churches. The media did everything possible to downplay these events. Things were definitely heating up. Josh was winning my vote.
(October 28, 2021) This stance won me over completely to Renacci. Ohio simply cannot afford to keep making the mistakes of lockdowns, mandates, and other DEMOCRAT POISON PILLS. DeWine keeps getting sucked into deadly virtue signals. Renacci is naturally skeptical of such nonsense.
(April 3, 2022) This is where Renacci almost made it. “Ohio could have had a DeSantis.”
The May Primary Results
So now let’s get back to the results of the primary.
There were THREE races on the ballot that mattered most to me.
Secretary of State – Guardian at the Gate
This was an important vote. I’m not sure why the LaRose defense of Ohio from George Soros (LaRose can’t say Soros – he has to say “Holder”) isn’t more of a story on the right, but Ohio is literally one office away from turning communist like Colorado. One Jenna Griswold and we’re done. Pennsylvania-level fake elections would be the rule.
Trump’s complete endorsement of Frank LaRose showed that Trump knew DAMN WELL that Ohio needed this fighter back on the job in 2022. Yeah, LaRose had to play a fine line with saying that Ohio elections were secure, and admitting that America has a FAKE ELECTION problem, but it’s quite obvious now, with the evidence presented in 2000 Mules, that elections are a WAR in America.

There are a bunch of write-in and small-fry candidates for Ohio Secretary of State, including “Tore Says” blogger Tore Maras, but the actual SoS will be either Frank LaRose or unqualified Democrat activist Chelsea Clark, who appears to have been hand-picked by Holder.
COLUMBUS – Forest Park City Councilwoman Chelsea Clark announced a Democratic bid for Ohio secretary of state Wednesday.
“I’m running for secretary of state because politicians in Columbus like (Ohio Secretary of State) Frank LaRose have embraced MAGA lies, pushing voter suppression and massive purges from our rolls to stop Ohioans from voting who don’t always agree with them,” Clark says in an announcement video.
Clark is one of many Democrats who oppose GOP election reform proposals, which would limit drop boxes and eliminate voting on the Monday before Election Day.
Clark wants to extend early voting to 35 days, set up automatic voter registration and eliminate voter purges. “It’s a constitutional right. Not use it or lose it,” she said.
This woman is, IMO, a Soros / Holder cheat-enabler of the worst kind. If she becomes Secretary of State, “real” elections are history.
I watched my vote get scammed at the drop box by cheating Dems. NEVER AGAIN. Get ’em out.
LaRose has been a god-send, and Ohio needs him back on the job, standing up to Eric Holder.
My only quibble with LaRose is that he doesn’t realize that the cheating is even WORSE than what is publicly known – that it’s even worse than he thinks. LaRose is very savvy to the lawfare angle, and THANK GOD for that. However, his trust in voting machine technology, including tabulation technology, is probably too high, IMO. Even for a special forces type who likely GETS how amazing spy tech can actually be.
When confronted with questions about machines being “on the internet” or not, LaRose shows (IMO) susceptibility to the smooth narratives that voting machine companies can be believed, trusted, or even trusted after “routine” inspection of machines.
No. Just NO.
The reality of dirty, rotten, left-controlled tech (which I understand, because I’ve been on the inside) is that people in management and their dirty tech lackeys LIE in the most amazing and almost impossible-to-prove ways. Even simple definitions are used to derail legitimate inquiries.
When people like us say machines could be “on the internet”, what we mean is that ANY kind of cellular or electromagnetic connection to the machine (via radio waves, microwaves, WiFi, cellular, RFIDs, whatever) counts as putting the machine at risk. This kind of tech can be easily added to circuit boards with little or no visibility. The first layer of risk is an actual modem of any kind – announced or unannounced. The next layer of risk is circuitry that can effectively function as a modem, receiver, transmitter, or other communications device.
Just consider RFID technology, and how something like a CREDIT CARD – still in a wallet – could be used to interact with a voting machine of any kind, as long as it has circuitry that can interact with RFIDS. If there is the slightest corruption in the company or its contractors – many of which are not even in the United States – then the compromising technology will not even be published in the specs of the machine. Only a VERY skeptical electrical engineer – likely with some cyberwar experience – examining the hardware before and after the election – is likely to even ask the right questions.
Are you starting to understand how easy it is to CHEAT in the DESIGN of voting or tabulation machines, as long as you sneak a few CIA-level “Q” types into the voting machine company design teams? OR their contractors?
This is a no-brainer. Voting machine design can be subverted to enable cheating. Do not trust the machines – EVER. And now that we’ve got a paper trail, it’s time to DOUBLE the watch on the tabulation machines.
In any case, LaRose won, and now it’s time to make sure he can take on Chelsea Clark.
US Senator – Will Ohio Send MAGA to DC?
The answer is almost certainly YES now.
This was a resounding victory for Trump, in light of Trump’s JD Vance endorsement. What’s even sweeter to me is that unendorsed MAGA candidate Josh Mandel – strongly supported by “Club For Growth” PAC (meaning Koch brothers and Chamber of Commerce) as a way to take down Vance, still managed to beat the Ohio GOP Machine candidate Matt Dolan. Dolan isn’t actually a terrible candidate, but (IMO) he’s still likely to be part of the “Decepticon” problem that Sundance always rages about. Dolan would be one of the first in line to bless any properly presented war. Dolan would support Mitch McConnell – because he’s a machine guy. Dolan would support whatever the UNIPARTY all agreed on – to the detriment of actual Americans.
In my opinion, Trump endorsed Vance because he trusts Vance to not be suckered by the GOPe or the UniParty. Mandell is similarly MAGA, IMO, but is likely to have a chain that can be pulled by the MIC, whereas Vance – though having a military background as well – is likely to be more skeptical of such neocon manipulations.
Beyond that, Vance is almost a pure political outsider. I believe that Trump saw a real opportunity here, to go AGAINST career politicians. In that sense, I think he saw Vance as being much like himself – and I would agree with that.
It was not hard at all for me to go along with Trump’s endorsement. I trusted Trump’s STRATEGY in going with J.D. Vance.
I believe that Vance is going to be able to win in November.
As for the others, Trump has a bunch of great people to raid for his administration. These are all excellent MAGA people – FIGHTERS – and we need them SOMEWHERE, IMO.
Josh Mandell Jane Timken Bernie Moreno
That third name is not in the list of runners-up.
Bernie Moreno is an interesting guy. I’ve listened to him – he’s an excellent candidate. He was actually one of the leaders in the race for a while. And yet, he dropped out of the race after talking to Trump.
“I asked for a private meeting with President Trump this afternoon to discuss the state of the Ohio Senate race,” Moreno said in a statement Thursday. “I am a businessman, not a politician. Business leaders recognize patterns before they happen. After talking to President Trump we both agreed this race has too many Trump candidates and could cost the MAGA movement a conservative seat.”
Moreno is the first to drop out of the GOP primary, and his departure came one day after he filed candidate paperwork with the secretary of state’s office. Also running for the nomination are former state treasurer Josh Mandel, former Ohio GOP chair Jane Timken, “Hillbilly Elegy” author J.D. Vance, state Sen. Matt Dolan and investment banker Mike Gibbons.
Moreno, like several others in the race, used his personal wealth to boost his bid. He loaned his campaign $3.75 million last year and kicked off a $4 million TV ad spree in December, but his contributions began to decrease after starting strong over the summer.
Internal polls released by multiple campaigns in recent months show Mandel at the top of the heap, but they also indicate many voters are still undecided about their preferred candidate. Trump’s endorsement would help set the candidates apart, although it’s unclear if or when he’ll wade into the race.
Trump commended Moreno’s decision to exit the race in a statement: “He has done much for Ohio and loves his State and our great MAGA Movement. His decision will help ensure the MAGA Ticket wins BIG, as it is all over the Country.”
Looks like Trump was right. He cut back the splitters just enough to send a winning MAGA candidate past the machine boy.
Smart.
Governor – DeWine Saved by Splitter Strategy
This was a disappointment, because Ohio could have had a DeSantis, if Renacci had won. However, looking at the half-full glass, DeWine is a guaranteed win in November. Beyond that, it is very likely that DeWine understands he needs to move right on key issues where he can find support.
DeWine was presented with a constitutional carry bill shortly before the primary, and he did what he had to do, which was to approve it. But even with that nod to the base, you will note that the anti-DeWine vote (52% total) exceeds his own share (48%).
We may never know if Blystone was pushed by the media to protect DeWine from Renacci, or if Renacci was the machine’s answer to Blystone, or a little of both. No matter what, Ohio is now “stuck” with 4 more years of Mike DeWine.
Will I support DeWine? HELL YES. The man can and will keep this state out of Eric Holder’s grubby communist hands. Trump didn’t endorse Renacci, and – sadly – it was a smart decision, for whatever reasons Trump had. Trump may have realized that he would likely need to endorse DeWine in the fall. So be it.
I’m not going to question Trump’s strategy. Sometimes you just have to count the bird in hand and be thankful for what you have.
Will DeWine get fooled by more Democrat communist tricks? More than likely, yes. But Mike DeWine is a survivor. Schooled by experience, he is less likely to be suckered again. I can live with that.
Between now and November, we do need to beware of false flags on “gun violence”, which have been used reliably to manipulate DeWine. The “gun violence” angle appears to be Nan Whaley’s strategy against DeWine, presumably pinning him against his vote on Constitutional carry. The Ohio media will carry all the water they can for Democrats. Thankfully, Ohio gun owners are responsible, and we here at The Q Tree will be able to react quickly to counter false flag propaganda from DODGE, FIB, and now DHS.
Also, it looks like the Dems are pushing / forcing the “abortion rights” issue for November. It’s not a coincidence, IMO, that they waited for the Ohio primary to publicly disclose their Roe v. Wade SCOTUS leak. The “threat” to abortion will also be used to try to elevate Whaley. The “woman + abortion” card will be played hard.
Good luck, you horrible, cheating Democrats. MAGA will back DeWine to keep you communists where you belong. OUT OF POWER.
After DeWine, Ohio has lots of possibilities. Renacci is now very viable. LaRose would make a fine Governor, IMO. Jane Timken has a future. And Josh Mandel? Bernie Moreno? Lots of possibilities in a Trump administration.
The future is wide open. Our cornucopia is overflowing with MAGA talent.
Be thankful for what you have. It’s one of the first lessons of Judaism and Christianity.
We take a break from the camels to indulge in one of the best movie scores ever written…which was inspired, I am quite sure, by William Walton’s Belshazzar’s Feast. (Seriously, we in the chorus heard the trumpet part in the middle and looked at each other saying, “Well, now we know where John Williams got Star Wars.”)
Trust me, the power of this music live is a force in and of itself.
For those waiting for the camels:
And, of course, the wolf:
Just in case any of the readership was in a cave Monday night and all day Tuesday, Politico threw a grenade into the swamp by publishing almost one hundred pages of a draft decision in an upcoming Supreme Court release that would overturn Roe vs. Wade, the infamously BAD bench law that suppressed state laws regarding the regulation of the practice of killing children in the womb, known by its sanitized clinical name “abortion.”
This, of course, started a cascade of videos:
Every spoiled rich kid in this video chanting “my body my choice” was in favor of:
– Mask mandates – Vaccine mandates – Child vaccine mandates – Vaccine to work mandates – Social credit scores
If the agents of the culture receive a setback on abortion they will shift their energies to euthanasia. Already there are churches offering old people "Passing over" ceremonies.
— Fr. Dwight Longenecker (@dlongenecker1) May 3, 2022
As Tuesday progressed, the story took on flesh, and what we do know is that the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court affirmed the text’s authenticity, which included the names of the five justices that voted in February to overturn Roe (Alito, Thomas, Gorsuch, Kavannaugh, Coney-Barrett). What we also know is that the leak investigation is not being turned over to the FBI, but will be handled in house at the Supreme Court.
Given the apparently coordinated nature of this hit on the Court, I certainly hope every Democrat Senator is ready to answer whether they saw the opinion before Politico published it, and if they know who leaker is
What we don’t know for sure is who leaked the thing and why, although speculation is rampant and includes: a staffer from Justice Sonya Sotomayor’s group looking to fire up the far left base ahead of the midterms; a way to get ahead of the whole thing for the justices themselves; and – the most “out there” of the group – the white hats sending a shot across the bow of the other side.
Who actually leaked to > POLITICO… 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 … here’s a 💣….. It wasn’t a leak///
It’s s clear message..a ⚠️ WARNING….. From Military behind the scenes///
It’s only beginning 😉
And then there’s this:
Roe was leaked to take heat off of the Pfizer data dump.
The vaccine information is bad, very very bad.
Pfizer, CDC and our government all lied.

Today, the CDC has announced a semi-permanent extension of the federal transportation mask mandate with no expiration date noted. [Announcement Here] That means all travelers on airplanes, trains, busses and ridesharing will be required to wear facemasks again, including inside the terminals and operational hubs of those transportation nodes, pending the outcome of the DOJ appeal to the federal court.
CDC Announcement – “At this time, CDC recommends that everyone aged 2 and older – including passengers and workers – properly wear a well-fitting mask or respirator over the nose and mouth in indoor areas of public transportation (such as airplanes, trains, etc.) and transportation hubs (such as airports, stations, etc.).
At this point, the Bye-Done people are just jerking our chains.
Whatever the case is, we in the pro-life movement really must temper any euphoria as Roe v. Wade being overturned would simply send the entire issue to the state legislatures, and thus be a victory for the tenth amendment.
Not that that is a bad thing, but that is not going to make the procedure illegal nationwide, and changes precious few hearts and minds on the matter.
Throughout history, the shedding of innocent human blood—particularly children’s—by willing human agents, has empowered demons to regain or maintain their spiritual tyranny over those Christ died to set free.
He explained, “Despite President Joe Biden’s assault on election integrity efforts in several states, voters in record numbers are demanding that identification be presented to get a ballot and want reforms across the board in all 50 states.”…
Bedard explained the polling to which he was given access confirmed 84% want voter ID, and “huge percentages of black and Hispanic voters are behind the surge in support as the nation readies for the fall congressional midterm elections.”
The polling was done for the American Legislative Exchange Council and the National Conference of State Legislatures, he explained, and “is the latest to show that the push by Biden and his media allies has fallen flat, especially among minorities who the president claimed would be hurt by election integrity laws passed in states such as Georgia.”
“Photo ID laws are a case in point: Support for photo ID laws is seven points higher than a year ago. Left-wing special interests and politicians like President Biden carried out an intense, often misleading, campaign meant to stir opposition to policies like strong voter ID. Their efforts have had the opposite effect. More people than ever — including most black and Hispanic voters — back photo ID laws,” the pollster told Bedard.
The report to the ALEC and NCSL also confirmed there was support “for a ban on outside funding of elections, which would have blocked a controversial organization funded by Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg that boosted turnout in Democratic areas in the 2020 election.”
Bedard noted the poll also said “75% would vote for a ballot initiative requiring everyone to show photo ID in person or write an ID number on a mail ballot. And 75% said it would be ‘easy’ to write an ID number on a ballot.”
Intriguing if accurate. That would mean more waking up is happening and the people are going to begin to demand real change on that score.
We’ll see how that works out.
Yeah, kids starting with lots of money usually have much less motivation than those who have nothing.

And now for the obligatory message from our sponsors:
Here at the Q tree we believe in the concept of CIVIL open free speech and the discussion that fleshes out ideas. When commenting and participating in the OPEN discussion on this thread all comments MUST NOT CONTAIN personal threats, baiting, name calling, or other anti-social words fomenting hate, violence or destruction. Our host Wolfm00n has strict rules about that.
Fellow tree dweller Wheatie gave us some good reminders on the basics of civility in political discourse:
No food fights.
No running with scissors.
If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone
Please, stock up on blanks for celebratory gunfire, be ready to swing from the chandeliers…and no messing with the nuclear weapons.
Please remember to remain locked and loaded and ready for trouble should the insurrectionists try to invade your space.
Those who have things to say that do not fit the generally accepted limits of “civil” discussion, Wolf has provided a venue known as the UTree. You’re welcome to visit over there and say hi to anyone hanging out over there. The “Rescue Thread” is also over there. In the event a rendezvous of the tree is needed, please check it out, as well as the newest rescue venue.

One other vital note:
Please, review these rules that our host Wolfm00n outlined toward the beginning of the growth of the tree itself. it won’t take long.
1And Saul was consenting to his death. And on that day a great persecution arose against the church in Jerusalem; and they were all scattered throughout the region of Judea and Sama’ria, except the apostles. 2Devout men buried Stephen, and made great lamentation over him. 3But Saul was ravaging the church, and entering house after house, he dragged off men and women and committed them to prison. 4Now those who were scattered went about preaching the word. 5Philip went down to a city of Sama’ria, and proclaimed to them the Christ. 6And the multitudes with one accord gave heed to what was said by Philip, when they heard him and saw the signs which he did. 7For unclean spirits came out of many who were possessed, crying with a loud voice; and many who were paralyzed or lame were healed. 8So there was much joy in that city.
PSALMS 66:1-7
0To the choirmaster. A Song. A Psalm. 1Make a joyful noise to God, all the earth; 2sing the glory of his name; give to him glorious praise! 3Say to God, “How terrible are thy deeds! So great is thy power that thy enemies cringe before thee. 4All the earth worships thee; they sing praises to thee, sing praises to thy name.” [Selah] 5Come and see what God has done: he is terrible in his deeds among men. 6He turned the sea into dry land; men passed through the river on foot. There did we rejoice in him,
JOHN 6:35-40
35Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life; he who comes to me shall not hunger, and he who believes in me shall never thirst. 36But I said to you that you have seen me and yet do not believe. 37All that the Father gives me will come to me; and him who comes to me I will not cast out. 38For I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him who sent me; 39and this is the will of him who sent me, that I should lose nothing of all that he has given me, but raise it up at the last day. 40For this is the will of my Father, that every one who sees the Son and believes in him should have eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.”
Thus, St. John the Apostle and Evangelist gives us the text for one of the most confounding songs to come out of the 1970s.

We are getting ready to experience a level of evil that will be hard to comprehend. Stay strong. Be prepared.
It is quite clear, as per Wolf’s message from July, that we are under spiritual attack. Building up a robust arsenal of prayer and discipline is a must in fighting the enemy and his minions.
In that spirit, the Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel from Tuesday’s threads, and the Breastplate of St. Patrick, not to mention the Litany of Humility are favorites recommended by exorcists in spiritual warfare.
asterworks of Tiffany and Prewar Design from the Warshawsky Collection led Sotheby’s sale on May 19 to $8 Million total, topped by a Tiffany “Oriental Poppy” Floor Lamp which sold for $1.1 Million, an auction record for the model.

Okay, folks just a few reminders:
Those of us who have been awake for a while are ready to get justice done and move on, but the normies among us are really just waking up.
That being the case, it is worth thinking about this entire exercise as a marketing campaign of sorts were buzz is created in order to build demand ahead of a product launch.
That is where we are with the whole 2020 election mess and more.
Demand is building for election integrity on the coattails of school board accountability.
Not only that, much of what was once “conspiracy theory” is now mainstream. To wit this from American Thinker, where the term “deep state” was once a conspiracy theory:
Imagine having complete control over America’s corporate news propaganda arm and still feeling vulnerable when it comes to “securing the narrative.” Imagine having all the Big Tech censors working for the U.S. Intelligence Community, and the masters of disinformation are still unsure whether they can amply manipulate American opinion. Imagine dedicating a year and a half to persecuting anyone who questions the legitimacy of the 2020 election and learning that more Americans than ever now view that monstrosity as tainted by fraud. Imagine shamelessly spinning the Capitol breach into an attempted coup d’état only to find that half the country believes that the federal government is in the business of imprisoning political protesters. Imagine spending six years framing Donald Trump as a Russian spy; putting him in constant legal jeopardy with a rogue, Democrat-aligned special counsel investigation; impeaching him for the financial corruption of his political opponent’s quid-pro-quo schemes in Ukraine; and then impeaching him a second time for the crime of free speech in a congressional operation designed to prevent him from ever running for elective office again — only to learn that he is the runaway favorite to win the 2024 Republican presidential primary and handily beating the current occupant of the White House by six points.
When propaganda, domestic espionage, malicious prosecution, blackmail, and an organized terror campaign of burn-loot-murder mayhem directed against ordinary Americans fail to subdue the citizen population, what do aspiring totalitarians do next? That’s right, friends, come on down: it’s Ministry of Truth time! The same Department of Homeland Security that has never had any interest in securing the homeland (come right over, international terrorists and drug-runners, the border’s wide open!) will now dedicate its malignant resources to censoring so much truth that only the government’s lies can be heard! If you can’t beat ’em in the arena of ideas, then beat them into submission with clubs, cut out their vocal cords, declare them “enemies of the State,” and round up anyone still standing. It’s the Deep State way!
The whole farce of setting up an all-powerful Department of Disinformation (whose only purpose will be to spread disinformation) would be downright comical if we were given a moment’s rest to laugh in between the Biden regime’s outrageous daily attacks on what’s left of the Constitution. The First Amendment — right at the top, so no future tyrants could miss it — is obviously meaningless if government censors must first approve acceptable speech. By far and without equivocation, the most important speech deserving of protection from the treachery of government overreach is that speech that the government decries as disinformation! The First Amendment isn’t there for the protection of cookie recipes and weather reports (although those are protected, too). It’s there to make sure that when officials in the federal government betray their oaths and seize illegitimate power for themselves, there are opposing voices that can beat those usurpers down with words before violence becomes inevitable. In truth, the First Amendment is one of ten easy-to-understand, bold-faced instructions from our Founding Fathers to future generations of Americans that state as simply as possible — so that no one has any trouble comprehending their meaning — when the Republic’s very survival is at stake.
“You future Americans,” our Founders effectively declared, “are a free people with expansive liberty limited only by the few delegated powers explicitly written into the Constitution as exclusive duties of the three branches of the federal government. All other powers belong either to the respective states or to the people. Is that clear? If not, here is a convenient list of government limitations and guaranteed freedoms — although by no means a complete description of Americans’ inalienable rights and liberties — that you must keep an eye on in order to ensure that your government does not descend one day into despotism and tyranny, as all forms of government inevitably do. We will call these the Bill of Rights, and if you catch your government abridging or striking down any of these basic American liberties, then it’s time to act. Set forth in item number one, so you understand their importance to our overall design in protecting you from abusive government, are free speech, freedom of the press, the free exercise of religion, freedom of assembly, and the right to petition the government for redress of grievances. In case of emergency — e.g., a tyrant has risen to squash your freedom of speech — break glass immediately, for you are under attack!…
It has become quite clear that the Intelligence Deep State dictating U.S. policy is convinced that the Chinese communist model is ideal. The officers of the federal government have sworn oaths to defend the First Amendment but, instead, treat free thought and free expression as threats to their power. They do not respect dissent. They do not protect (as is their duty) unsanctioned political protest. They actively work with private companies to censor speech and opinion. They actively work with tech monopolies to manipulate public opinion and propagate blatant lies. They actively spy on the American people. They harass and intimidate those who have the courage of their convictions. They criminalize the constitutional rights of citizens and commit crimes under the color of their constitutional authorities.
That, my friends, in the effort to red pill the masses is known as progress. The intellectuals are defecting to the white hat side.
It was right when Elon Musk decided to purchase Twitter in order to restore its free speech orientation. The left had an absolute meltdown about that, as they had benefited politically from Twitter’s outrageous censorship practices which were ongoing. The leftists of Twitter had shut down the president of the United States who was guilty of nothing, on claims of preventing ‘violence,’ as well as America’s oldest newspaper, the New York Post, after it uncovered a major news story about Biden family corruption based on the contents of Hunter Biden’s abandoned laptop. Twitter at the time called it foreign ‘disinformation’ and falsely claimed it was hacked rather than abandoned content, while in reality, their real aim was to benefit the 2020 presidential campaign of Joe Biden as an illegal in-kind donation, which they got away with.
What is really going on with the whole Elon buying Twitter thing has yet to be revealed, but to be sure whatever we are seeing now is not the whole story.
So now we r facing a “Disinformation Bureau” from the same Marxist SoB’s who told us – Hunters laptop was a lie; Covid came from a kid in Wuhan eating bat head in a wet market; and 2020 was the safest election in the History of Humanity. Phew. And I was worried at first.
If Joe Biden won’t dissolve his unconstitutional Disinformation Board, Congress should. I will introduce legislation this week to eliminate the Board and forbid the government ever to create another one. It’s time to stand up for free speech
I am not worried about the new Ministry of Truth. "Let's go Brandon" proves that Americans' ability to mock, undermine and subvert the elitist establishment will thrive as it is pushed into the realms of innuendo, coded language and wink wink nudge subtext.

Tucker Carlson is openly laughing at the latest hit piece on him by the New York Times, which claims the popular Fox News host is stoking “white fear” and that his program is perhaps “the most racist program in the history of cable news.”
The highest-rated host in cable news tweeted a photo of himself in full laugh mode while holding a weekend edition of the Times featuring an in-depth, front-page series titled “American Nationalist: Part 1,” “How Tucker Carlson Stoked White Fear to Conquer Cable.”
I’d throw in a few Rockefellers and Rothschilds also.
Of course, this does not mean committing felonies, but standing up to the forces that want to tear this nation – and humanity apart. The very people XVII told us will be destroyed by the time this movie comes to an end are currently roaming the halls of power…supposedly. It’s a sickening sight.
Your weekly reminder to take the pledge:
“I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter: So help me God.”
The discourse on this site is to be CIVIL – no name calling, baiting, or threatening others here is allowed. Those who are so inclined may visit Wolf’s other sanctuary, the U-Tree, to slog it out. There is also a “rescue” thread there for members of the Tree to rendezvous if the main site goes kablooey. A third site has been added for site outages of longer duration.
This site is a celebration of the natural rights endowed to humans by our Creator as well as those enshrined in the Bill of Rights adopted in the founding documents of the United States of America. Within the limits of law, how we exercise these rights is part of the freedom of our discussion.
Fellow tree dweller Wheatie gave us some good reminders on the basics of civility in political discourse:

By now, I have learned to keep my reactions pretty close to my chest. There is such a thing as reacting too soon before more information is released, and it’s easy to make assumptions if you don’t see the whole picture. There’s power in observation.

And the latest from JP. This hits too close to home.
This Stormwatch Monday Open Thread remains open – VERY OPEN – a place for everybody to post whatever they feel they would like to tell the White Hats, and the rest of the MAGA/KAG/KMAG world (with KMAG being a bit of both).
And indeed, it’s Monday…again.
But we WILL get through it!
…and we will have fun doing it, too!
The Rules
Boilerplate, more or less, but worth reading again and again, if only for the minor changes, and to stay out of moderation.
The bottom line is Free Speech. Theories and ideas you don’t agree with must be WELCOME here, and you must be part of that welcoming. But you do NOT need to be part of any agreement.
Bottom line – respect other people’s FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS.
Our only additional requirement is that you do so NICELY. Or at least try to make some effort in that direction.
SO….. [ENGAGE BOILERPLATE…..]
We must endeavor to persevere to love our frenemies – even here.
Those who cannot deal with this easy requirement will be forced to jump the hoops of moderation, so that specific comments impugning other posters and violating the minimal rules can be sorted out and tossed in the trash.
In Wheatie’s words, “We’re on the same side here so let’s not engage in friendly fire.”
That includes the life skill of just ignoring certain other posters.
We do have a site – The U Tree – where civility is not a requirement. Interestingly, people don’t really go there much. Nevertheless, if you find yourself in an “argument” that can’t really stay civil, please feel free to “take it to the U Tree”. The U Tree is also a good place to report any technical difficulties, if you’re unable to report them here. Please post your comment there on one of Wolf’s posts, or in reply to one of Wolf’s comments, to make sure he sees it (though it may take a few hours).
We also have a backup site, called The Q Tree as well, which is really The Q Tree 579486807. You might call it “Second Tree”. The URL for that site is https://theqtree579486807.wordpress.com/. If this site (theqtree.com) ever goes down, please reassemble at the Second Tree.
If the Second Tree goes down, please go to The U Tree, or to our Gab Group, which is located at https://gab.com/groups/4178.
We also have some “old rules” and important guidelines, outlined here, in a very early post, on our first New Year’s Day, in 2019. The main point is not to make violent threats against people, which then have to be taken seriously by law enforcement, and which can be used as a PRETEXT by enemies of this site.
In the words of Wheatie, “Let’s not give the odious Internet Censors a reason to shut down this precious haven that Wolf has created for us.”
A Moment of Prayer
Our policy on extreme religious freedom on this site is discussed HERE. Please feel free to pray and praise God anytime and anywhere.
Thus, please pray for our real President, the one who actually won the election.
You may also pray for our nation, our world, and even our enemies.
Call To Battle
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 Day Week:
aeroponics
noun
the process of growing plants in an air or mist environment without the use of soil or an aggregate medium.
adjective: aeroponic
Used in a sentence:
Aeroponics systems [sic] can reduce water usage by 98 percent, fertilizer usage by 60 percent, and pesticide usage by 100 percent, all while maximizing crop yields.
Used in another sentence:
Aeroponics may also involve managing CO2 levels in the air within the system, which in turn affects the rate of photosynthesis within the plants.
