“We do not believe any group of men adequate enough or wise enough to operate without scrutiny or without criticism. We know that the only way to avoid error is to detect it, that the only way to detect it is to be free to inquire. We know that in secrecy error undetected will flourish and subvert.” –J. Robert Oppenheimer
I used to think radical scoundrel Eric Holder was the most criminal Attorney General this nation ever had, but now I believe that honor goes to the man who single-handedly erased Donald Trump’s second term – William Barr.
ALLOW ME TO EXPLAIN.
Once you see it, you can’t unsee it. And I want you all to not only see it, but be ANGRY AS HELL about what happened.
There came a point where the other side realized that they were not going to get rid of Trump by simple staged shenanigans like Charlottesville, which happened on August 12, 2017. Trump was IMMUNE to the Fake News media. His BASE was relentless in supporting him past phony “crises” designed to weaken him. 48 Hour Rule? We were giving him 90 days to prove himself the man of courage and honor that he was. Instead, each crisis only made Trump stronger.
Then, the treasonous, murderous FIB went further. They MURDERED 58 younger “Trump base” people at a concert in Las Vegas. Surely THAT would make Trump quit. Would Trump actually sacrifice his own supporters to the meat-grinder of the Deep State and their allies?
Trump beat even that. Not only was he not going to quit – not only did Trump’s base say “SHOOT *ME*, YOU BASTARDS” – Trump began the utter destruction of the image of the treasonous FBI, whose reputation among conservatives sank down to somewhere between pond scum and the East German Stasi.
Well, the Stalinists simply moved to next steps. “What if we kill 17 beautiful high school kids on Valentine’s Day? February 18, 2018. Surely Trump will give up!”
Yeah. Go to hell, Eric Holder. Not only did we not let you “brainwash us against guns” – we closed down your evil “Promise Programs” designed to subvert due process and CREATE propaganda events.
I think this is around the point where the powers who would KILL to evict Trump, decided that Trump needed to fed into an “exit program” that would eliminate him at the NEXT election – November 3, 2020. They lengthened their plotline to make sure it would WORK.
And how did they do that?
By “saving” Trump from their 2016 trap, while COVERING IT UP, but PREPARING for their 2020 trap.
It was SUCH a beautiful idea. SUCH a beautiful idea. Few plots in human history were ever as ingenious as the Barr plot. “RESCUE” Trump to give Barr credibility. Then use that credibility to IGNORE and then DENY the 2020 stolen election plot.
Barr is not STUPID. He knew exactly what he was doing.
And it is my PRIVILEGE as a simple honest human being to unmask him.
[That’s pronounced “SHTOE DYEH-lat?” and if you can push your tongue to the roof of your mouth as you say that last t, so much the better. And yes if you know a little bit of Russian, you’re probably about to tell me that the Ч should be pronounced like the “ch” in “cheese”–and you’d be right except in this one case, a rare rule-breaker in Russian. And что was the very first word in the book I learned Russian from.]
Что Делать? is a question that was asked in a pamphlet written in pre-Revolutionary Russia in 1901 by a then-obscure individual who took the pseudonym Lenin. [Well, except he spelled it Что Дѣлать but after the revolution the ѣ was deemed redundant with е and was dispensed with, along with millions of kulaks.]
It was actually a question about some arcane matter of Marxist dogma, and Lenin was an evil man, but the question, ripped out of context, is apt today.
Having been boned up the hindquarters by our political class, what is to be done?
We got suckered.
Almost everything anyone has quoted on this site has turned out to be hopium, and much of it delivered by bullshit artists. Most of us are realizing this and getting good and mad about it, while others seem to be looking around for more hopium to cling to. I’ve had my suspicions all along, but caught so much grief for trying to point it out I long since stopped trying. Now I regret it.
If you’re in that group of people addicted to hopium, looking at more and more implausible scenarios, please stop. You’re consciously evading reality, and you’re needed out here in the real world.
I am not going to assume that anyone is going to bail us out of this by some hail Mary move. Every day that passes sees more Trump people fired from government; soon there won’t be anyone even potentially interested in helping out remaining in anything remotely like a position to do so. By noon on Saturday (today) the administration of His Fraudulency will have been in power for three days. Seven more and the “ten days of darkness” have run out–on the day of my next “daily.”
Of course that won’t stop someone from saying, “well those weren’t the ten days of darkness. No, the ten days of darkness are really going to start…” That person can go fuck his perpetually goal-shifting self, because the ten days before the “inauguration” were supposed to be the ten days of darkness before we entered into this “ten days of darkness.”
The only thing worse than falling for the Lucy and the Football Maneuver is setting ourselves up for it again.
Drop the fancies of eating popcorn (or bacon) while watching someone else pull a miracle out of his ass.
Four years of tease and disappointment should be enough. You should feel STUPID, Dumbass!!! I sure do.
I hope a number of people here feel like I just dumped ten gallons of icewater on them.
Here, have some towels and dry yourselves off.
Are you awake now? Good. Are you mad? Even better.
Because here is the Real Deal: It Is Up To Us. It Is Entirely Up To Us. No imaginary friend is going to bail us out.
And only if we realize that can we begin to do something about it.
To be clear, I sure hope this ages poorly. But I don’t expect it to and neither should anyone else. I think the odds are less than twenty percent right now, and rapidly declining.
So how do we fight this? Yes, we fight. That shouldn’t be in doubt. We fight.
I think what each person does is going to depend on their circumstances, talents, and mindset. I’ve been seeing some good suggestions out there on what we can do. We need more of this!
This is a time to brainstorm, not about yet more ridiculous scenarios of how someone else will bail our asses out, but rather about what we can do.
There are loads of things that can be done; I’m going to confine myself to stuff that is legal.
One thing we can all do is refuse to mention the current administration without mentioning the fraud; hence why I call the current occupant of the White House “His Fraudulency.” (Inspired by “His Accidency” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Tyler. Though he was legitimately in the White House, I’ll still rip off and rework the crap his enemies dished on him.) And of course Wheatie’s strategy, hence the title I put on this daily.
And boycott anything/anyone who tries to shut out conservatives/patriots.
Dialing up pressure on the scumsucking ratfucking weaselshit pissguzzling RINOs–politicians AND wheelhorses in the organization–is good. We’ve stopped donating. Let’s see if we can send them invoices! (And I can start by refusing to be this charitable towards them in the future.)
Whether we should try to take over the Repugnican party or abandon it is a trickier question. Kicking out the entrenched shitbirds will be hard. But starting a new party has its own hazards. Most states won’t give third parties ballot access without a lot of work, and of course they can try to take it over like they did with the Tea Party. But anyone wanting to engage in “conventional” politics has to pick one and go with it, and be ready to switch strategies if something breaks.
Figure out all kinds of ways to fight…and FIGHT!!
A Reminder Of Today’s Big Issue.
I won’t be including this section any more after this time. It’s moot.
Cthulhu, the fish is right. There ain’t no justice.
But wait! Maybe not. We have a new big issue.
You guys do know that Joe Biden Didn’t Win, right?
Lawyer Appeasement Section
OK now for the fine print.
Please note that our menu has changed, please listen to all of the options.
This is the WQTH Daily Thread. You know the drill. There’s no Political 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. The first rule of gun safety: Don’t let the government take your guns. 5. 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. Never point the gun at anything you’re not willing to destroy. 7. Keep your finger off the trigger until ready to fire. 8. Be sure of your target and what is behind it. 9. Social Justice Warriors, ANTIFA pukes, BLM hypocrites, and other assorted varieties of Marxists can go copulate with themselves, or if insufficiently limber, may substitute a rusty wire brush suitable for cleaning the bore of a twelve or ten gauge.

Coin of The Day
Today’s coin is the plugged nickel.
Boy that sounds cynical, doesn’t it. But it doesn’t have to be.
It is our actions and not somebody else’s that will determine just whose lives/careers won’t be worth one of these plugged nickels. So, which will it be? Us or them?
Standard disclaimer: I never show pictures of my own coins. I may or may not own coins like the ones I show. Burglars will be interested to hear that gold and silver aren’t the only heavy metals I have, and I have quite a bit of one with a heavier nucleus than either. And I keep it around a lot more than the gold and silver.
Obligatory PSAs and Reminders
China is Lower than Whale Shit
Remember Hong Kong!!! And remember the tens of millions who died under the “Great Helmsman” Chairman Mao.
If any of us ends up in the cell next to this guy, tell him “Hi” for me!
中国是个混蛋 !!! Zhōngguò shì gè hùndàn !!! China is asshoe !!!
For my money the Great Helmsman is Hikaru Sulu (even if the actor is a dingbat).
China is in the White House
The only thing lower than China, which is already lower than whale shit, is the (nominal) Americans betraying their country to help China. Including His Fraudulence, currently infesting 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
His Fraudulency Didn’t Win
I figure you probably were unaware of that, so I decided to let you know.
President Joe Biden has asked the Office of the Director of National Intelligence to conduct a “comprehensive threat assessment” of domestic extremism following the Jan. 6 assault on the Capitol by a violent mob that left five people dead.
White House press secretary Jen Psaki announced on Friday that Biden decided to ask for the review, which will be coordinated with the FBI and Department of Homeland Security, because “clearly more needs to be done” to address the rising threat posed by violent extremists across the country.
“The January 6th assault on the capitol and the tragic deaths and destruction that occurred underscored what we have long known: The rise of domestic violent extremism is a serious and growing national security threat,” Psaki said. “The Biden administration will confront this threat with the necessary resources and resolve.”
To me, it’s very clear what the commies plan to do. “First they came…” is starting to roll.
BIDENAZIS, the American Bolsheviks under #FakePresident, are showing their true colors.
These criminals are a DISGRACE.
WASHINGTON, DC – MAY 06: State Department Spokesperson Jen Psaki attends a joint news conference with European Union High Representative Lady Catherine Ashton and Secretary of State John Kerry in the Treaty Room at the State Department May 6, 2014 in Washington, DC.

Wolf’s Pub is open for business! It’s Fight Back Better Friday and what are we gonna do? FIGHT BACK BETTER!
As we wait for those events we know nothing of and drive ourselves nuts trying to figure out, let us fortify ourselves. While there are forces fighting the Communists who have effected a revolution against our Republic, let’s start this day with a drink in honor of the Scotsman, Rob Roy Macgregor, that merry outsider…err…outlaw who taught his betters a lesson or two.
His exploits spawned many stories and legends about him, not to mention an opera.
“The tales continued long after Roy’s death in 1734, and eventually an opera made its way to New York in 1894. Created by Harry B. Smith and Reginald De Koven, two well-known composers at the time, the opera was highly anticipated event. A bartender at the Waldorf-Astoria hotel, situated just round the corner from the theatre, felt it was only fitting that the show was promoted via a cocktail, and so he made up the whiskey-based drink.”
The Rob Roy is a very easy cocktail. Here’s a little tutorial:
The bartender is using The Famous Grouse, which is a fine Scotch whiskey, and my go-to of an evening. But if you want something special and your pocketbook can take the hit, I suggest buying a bottle of Glen Grant. Make a few Rob Roys, then don’t adulterate it again and enjoy the rest of the bottle neat or with an ice cube or two.
I had my first taste of Glen Grant (aged for 12 years) in a restaurant before the communist revolution, aka the China Virus came along, and it prompted us to immediately buy a bottle to enjoy over the holidays.
Glen Grant is in a class all by itself.

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.

“Honor is what no man can give ya. And none can take away. Honor is a man’s gift to himself.” (Rob Roy, 1995)
Now, let’s move on for just a moment to the film Rob Roy, from 1995 and starring Liam Neeson and the incomparable Tim Roth. This is a great film to watch with your love interest and it’s pretty sexy. But it speaks about honor. The link takes you to the historical definition of honor. The more modern day definition is something else (check out the Wiki definition to the right of the screen at the link). You will see how an understanding of honor has changed dramatically to what passes for honor today. Today honor is considered conformity to whatever society says it is. But for our purposes, honor is this:
“True nobleness of mind; magnanimity; dignified respect for character, springing from probity, principle or moral rectitude; a distinguishing trait in the character of good men.”
The Republican Party is without honor.
Mitch McConnell is without honor.
Establishment Republicans are without honor.
They betrayed their members, their constituents, themselves, preceding and succeeding generations, and their CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC! No HONOR.
Forget about cleaning house. We the People have to take the GOP to the ground. Let those Republicans in politics who are awake and MAGA come along, but it’s a new era now. The Trump Party (whatever it’s final moniker becomes is beside the point) has taken over. It is simply a matter of time. There is no time like the present.
Guerrilla Warfare
Destroy it financially. Destroy it in the public sphere. Destroy it in your localities. It must die in order for the Trump Party to wield the power of the people.
WE DID NOT LOSE BECAUSE OF THE DEMOCRATS. WE LOST BECAUSE THE REPUBLICANS BETRAYED AMERICA.
Ponder that for a moment.
Working in the old way has failed. They now know they can openly cheat in any and every election and win.
For all intents and purposes, the UniParty is the Communist Party.
The current two-party system is beyond repair.
I listened to War Room yesterday morning. Missed most of the first hour, but caught the tail end of Ken Blackwell’s interview with Steven Bannon. It’s Episode 671 at the site.
[Open link in a new tab, or jump to 30 minutes in the video below that. -Wolf]
This is what we are facing with a Beijing/Biden Administration. Just one example is the Equality Act now in Congress.
Terry Schilling of the American Principles Project was also on the show. He shared that there are 15 to 20 Republicans who will vote FOR the Equality Act in Congress.
The Heritage Foundation gives some decent information on how this is going to hurt us in the workplace, in the home, in school, and society at large. It is evil. It is anti-human (especially for female humans).
You see? The destruction of the GOP must be our first battle goal. It may be a moot point at some time in the future, but we have to deal with what we are confronted with this moment. Time for some Scottish battle music in honor of our VSGPDJT:
“Nicknamed Die Damen aus der Hölle (Ladies from Hell) by German soldiers for their distinctive tartan kilts and unparalleled bravery, the pipers from the “Black Watch”—the 3rd Battalion, Royal Regiment of Scotland—garnered a fearsome reputation on the battlefields of World War I.
Standing in full view of German soldiers, oftentimes armed with only their bagpipes, pipers were the first “over the top”, acting as a clarion call for British troops to keep moving. The sound of the bagpipes would spread terror among the German troops—when one “Lady from Hell” fell, miraculously another piper would seemingly arise out of the trenches to take his place.”
And for a little levity, let us enjoy this bawdy song, “Donald Where’s Your Trousers,” about the kilt, complete with a soldier named Donald who was loved by the ladies. Yes. God is good and He laughs with us.
Lyrics:
I’ve just come down from the isle of Skye I’m no very big an’ I’m awfully shy The lassies say as I go by Donald where’s your trousers
Let the wind blow high, let the wind blow low Through the streets in my kilt I’ll go All the lassies say hello Donald where’s your trousers
Now I went to a fancy ball And it was slippery in the hall And I was feared that I might fall For I hadnae on me trousers
Let the wind blow high, let the wind blow low Through the streets in my kilt I’ll go All the lassies say hello Donald where’s your trousers
Now I went down to London town To have a little fun on the underground The ladies turn their heads around Saying Donald where are your trousers
Let the wind blow high, let the wind blow low Through the streets in my kilt I’ll go All the lassies say hello Donald where’s your trousers
The lassies love me every one But let them catch me if they can You cannae take the breeks off a Hielan’ man Donald where’s your trousers
Let the wind blow high, let the wind blow low Through the streets in my kilt I’ll go All the lassies say hello Donald where’s your trousers
Let the wind blow high, let the wind blow low Through the streets in my kilt I’ll go All the lassies say hello Donald where’s your trousers
“MAGA is what is going to save this nation…MAGA will always fight…it is the backbone of the country.”
Raheem Kassam commented that the chat room was blowing up with this question:
“What are we doing about the systems themselves?”
This is the crux of the matter.
The UNIPARTY SYSTEM MUST BE COMPLETELY DEFEATED. WE START WITH THE REPUBLICANS.
Here is my small shot over over the bow:
You gotta watch yesterday’s War Room. It finished up with a fantastic interview with Mike Lindell, aka The Happy Warrior. The Left is in full attack mode. They are trying to take him down. Currently, eight big companies have dropped his products. They are attacking his suppliers in places as far away as Australia. They want to make an example of him. Eff Them.
[Open link in a new tab, or click the video below. -Wolf]
He isn’t backing down. This magnificent Christian is standing when all the big names in conservative media have bowed and scraped to the communists. Eff Them again.
Well, that was embarrassing. All the way around, no matter who you are, that was not what anyone was expecting.
That being the case…
I have no doubt this ain’t over yet. From Emeraldstar:
Here’s an explanation from an anon (yes, the board’s back up), I found it reasonable – there are still WAY too many people asleep …
“Everything (well not really everything) will come into light. The main thing is that if everything came into light with Trump in office the MSM (The #1 enemy) could control the sheep (Trump Bad) and the sheep would baaaaa and not care.
Their forced hatred of Trump is just to great. It has totally blinded them ( What is a spell. Who is asleep).
Now with Biden as president and all the crimes being put into light, MSM loses their Trump hate (Trump Card) over the sheep. They will still play it but it will not be nearly as successful. The Dems control (With Q pulling strings)everything except the supreme court which is critical.
Think logically. We have all tried to red pill family and friends. For me these are good intelligent people I have known for over 50 years. I debate them and provide them obvious logic and proof but they go into their “Trump Bad” shell and the debate is over.
It has to be this way means these friends and family won’t wake up while Trump is in office. They just won’t. With Trump gone MSM is losing their main weapon to control the masses.
There was just no way our fellow brothers and sisters would ever wake up while Trump is there. That’s the key now.”

In the meantime, the short and sweet version of “THE RULES” is here borrowed from Tuesday:
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.
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:
No food fights…okay wrapped chocolate miniatures are fair game
No running with scissors, we’re going to need them to cut wrapping paper
If you bring snacks, be sure they are made with bacon
Auntie DePat’s requests as we are all, ahem, adults, not uncivilized pygmies:
If you see something has not been posted, do us all a favor, and post it. Please, do not complain that it has not been done yet.
The scroll wheel on your mouse can be your friend. As mature adults, please use it here in the same manner you would in avoiding online porn.
Thank you so much for any and all attention to such details. It is GREATLY appreciated by more than one party here.
26For consider your call, brethren; not many of you were wise according to worldly standards, not many were powerful, not many were of noble birth; 27but God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise, God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong, 28God chose what is low and despised in the world, even things that are not, to bring to nothing things that are, 29so that no human being might boast in the presence of God. 30He is the source of your life in Christ Jesus, whom God made our wisdom, our righteousness and sanctification and redemption; 31therefore, as it is written, “Let him who boasts, boast of the Lord.”
Prayers for the nation, the salvation of humanity, and all of us here as well as our families are welcome.
Until I come up with my own demands, before I give one NICKEL to the party that allowed this TRAVESTY of the BIDEN INSTALLATION – this TREASONOUS betrayal of the American People on January Sixth – covered up by orchestrated violence through a CONSPIRACY between Mitch McConnell, Nancy Pelosi, radical leftists and the FBI – these demands will do.
So I just got my “The RNC Needs Your Help” email and of course told them Hell No, you didn’t help the President why should I help you and then provided them with a list of demands and grievances.
Purge your party of the RINOs. If they voted to impeach the president get rid of them. If they did not vote for Section 230 to stop the muzzling of conservative voices, get rid of them. If they did not vote for the COVID money but instead allowed Biden to use that money to bait voters in G.A. get rid of them. If they did not stand up and fight against the fraudulent election, they are useless, get rid of them. If they mealy mouthed our President and didn’t fight for his objectives, get rid of them.
More things that must be done. The evidence of voter fraud is overwhelming. Stand back up and fight against this illegitimate president and never stop. He does not deserve to be there. Put the person who does, back. Find a way. The evidence against Biden on Burisma and China bribe taking is overwhelming. Go after him any way you can and get him the hell out of office. The evidence of Russian Collusion was bogus and there’s been more than enough evidence to warrant convictions. Make it happen. The betrayals and failures of the DOJ, FBI, CIA and other departments are appalling, get it fixed. Moving forward on elections without serious reform is a non starter. Fix it in state or further talks are meaningless because elections in too many stats are currently meaningless. Allowing Big Tech and Big Media to run ramrod over your constituents is despicable. Enact your own laws in state and fight.
The calls to go after MAGA and Qanon people is pure bull, one sees the errors and wants justice and the other is a non violent community that does independent research and analysis then comes to their own conclusions. Deep State wants them removed because of the attention that is drawn onto them from these free thinkers. To think differently means you don’t know your base or complicit in its destruction. Stand up and denounce it. These movements are the cumulative results of your collective cronyism over decades of greed and graft. Fix the greed and graft and get your houses in order.
You just allowed the most tyrannical party this nation has ever known the levers of power. Levers you have already witnessed misused, whether from IRS Gate, to Iran Gate or Russia Gate or this past two election cycles and all in between. A party willing to misuse in any way it can, the constitution to achieve their one world objectives and one that is sponsored by the World Economic Forum and the CCP in order to reestablish the same kind of aristocracies we escaped from when we quit those teaming shores centuries ago. Knock it off, we’ve had our taste of freedom and we are not going back. Quit with the falling in with these useless accords that suck our wealth out of the nation and into the hands of the few under the undeserving guise of helping the many. We know how it works, we are awake. Wake up too.
This list of demands and grievances is hardly inclusive, but if you want support from the people you better start addressing all of it.
Get your houses in order, then find a way to grab the one person with enough foresight to fix this mess and drag him back to WA where he deserves to be and to get it done.
In the meantime I expect heavy donations from the RNC and individual donations from our political class to the Trump Library whenever such shall be announced.
Well said, patriot! Well said!
Please feel free to attach YOUR lists of demands, fellow patriots!
The title of this work, by Trump admirer Jon McNaughton, is Democrats Playing Poker. The painting is based on a series of works by Cassius Marcellus Coolidge, who is more commonly known as C.M. Coolidge, with the title of that series being Dogs Playing Poker.
There are other artists who painted similar pictures of dogs engaged in common proletarian pursuits, and the entire genre is covered at a site known as DogsPlayingPoker.org.
Many people think that Dogs Playing Poker is a single painting – and that painting is generally this one – one of the most iconic of the series, which is actually named A Friend In Need.
This painting, featuring one cheating dog passing a card to another, is definitely the one that McNaughton was thinking of when he did Democrats Playing Poker.
Another recognizable painting from the original series is this one – Poker Sympathy.
Another very famous painting in the series is entitled His Station And Four Aces.
If you “google” or otherwise image-search on “dogs playing poker”, you will find all sorts of mods, memes, morphs, and variations on the theme, as well as amateur versions and unofficial “retellings” from aspiring artists.
“Dogs Playing Poker” is – literally – one of the first and best image memes in American history.
When you’ve made The Simpsons, you’re history!
There is even a “B thriller” named 4 Dogs Playing Poker.
I you want to learn more about the history of Dogs Playing Poker, go here:
Now – what does all this have to do with THE MOMENT?
Harry Lime heard a rumor – one of those things that really is “too good to be true” – that Melania Trump tweeted the Democrats Playing Poker image today.
Harry Lime Online Fox
January 19, 2021 20:21
A friend of mine just reminded me of this picture…
He said Melania posted this again after President Trumps “farewell” speech.
Dogs…
Look at the clock…what time is the swearing in ceremony?
Didn’t he mention “luck” in his speech…what is poker a game of?
I don’t do the tweet…so I can’t confirm if Melania actually did post this today.
3 Likes
Now, there appeared to be no evidence that this was tweeted, although it could have been (and again, this can be verified or disproved, up to a point) tweeted and deleted through EITHER the old FLOTUS account, or the new MELANIATRUMP account, both on Twitter. The FLOTUS account was surely monitored intensely – the other – who knows?
In the end – THAT PART did not matter to me.
Here’s why.
The meme itself is perfect.
Trump is on the wall, watching it all. It’s almost midnight, the Democrats are cheating, Trump may or may not see all of it, but WE SEE IT, too. The dogs, who SHOULD be at the table, are not. That is us, too. Democrats stealing even our place at the table.
Up on the other wall, the famous painting of George Washington crossing the Delaware on Christmas NIGHT / Boxing Day morning (thanks, Steve!) to WIN THE WAR.
NOW – all that is good, but it gets better.
My story – how I got involved in MY END of all this mess, started when half of me was an egg cell traveling with a teenage girl in Eastern Europe. It only got worse from there, once she got back to America, and met a young egghead who helped turn other eggheads’ theories of computing into reality – that man being the other half of me. But I really had no idea how bad things were, until
DOGS PLAYING POKER showed up in my life.
Now I’m not exactly sure which picture it was, and I think the DIVE BAR it was in, may have had TWO of them, but I’m pretty sure that
…..was the painting on the wall when I told somebody maybe an EIGHTH of the story of the multi-million dollar conspiracy I had just been EJECTED FROM – seemingly safely – but in reality mere months before people would try to close that loose end. At the time, I didn’t realize that the BIGGER conspiracy – the one I was being set up from, using a smaller conspiracy – was worth TRILLIONS of dollars – unheard of, at the time – and eventually worth QUADRILLIONS in America’s future.
And all that is before you even think about GLOBAL and PLANETARY concerns.
So – you see – I’ve been on a LONG RIDE with the bullshit we are now experiencing. I don’t think I’d trade it for anything, either, because I ended up HERE, along with a few other patriots I’m proud to know by their words, but not upon sight.
If you look at the Coolidge painting, Poker Sympathy, and read along with the description HERE, you can understand the McNaughton painting, Democrats Playing Poker, even better.
The scene looks like it takes place in the corner of a questionable restaurant or club, with pictures of famous dogs that have visited that location lining the walls. In this booth, seven dogs sit across the table facing a bulldog that probably is not part of the regular crowd. During the last round of poker, the pot has grown quite large. The bulldog, thinking he could best the boss, has bet generously, confident in the power of his four aces. When the cards hit the table though, the other dog actually has a straight flush, the only hand able to beat his. The winning dog barks loudly across the table at his vanquished opponent, knocking him off his chair, spilling his drink, and causing him to drop his cards and cigar. The rest of the posse seems to enjoy watching the bulldog’s misery.
Do I think we may be there? Do I think that somebody who thought their stolen election was all wrapped up with four aces, may have gotten ROYALLY FLUSHED?
All I know is this.
I went out tonight and stocked up on not only everything I need for a few days in front of the television and computer – I prepared for a PARTY. The very first thing I saw in the grocery store was a display of non-alcoholic bubbly – my favorite brand, too, on special.
Talk about a sign!
I grabbed two bottles, raised them up to the sky a V, and said “YES!” Then I went on and stocked up like the SUPER BOWL had come to my neighborhood.
No matter what happens, I’m going to celebrate. I hope you will, too.
I’m either going to be an anonymous Trump patriot, celebrating THE END of my own long and very personal battle against corruption, or I’m going to be one of the most famous revolutionaries in history, before this is over.
What will happen tomorrow? What course will our country be on? God knows. Lean on Him!
We are staring at the possibility of a Communist administration who has already declared retribution against Trump followers. Should we, as Christians be fearful? No. Some proposed actions by the Leftists are awful to contemplate, but we must always look to God who holds our eternal destiny in His hands.
“And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.” – Matthew 10:28
Our best hope on earth for staving off a corrupt and evil Communist administration and their declared retribution is President Trump. Should we, as Christians put our trust in him? No. Our trust must always be in God, although God may indeed use President Trump as the main means to wrest control from the fraudulent Leftists. And if President Trump is successful, it was only made possible through God’s power . . . and our thanks and praise should go to God first, always.
“Do not trust in princes, in mortal man, in whom there is no salvation.” – Psalm 146:3 “It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in princes.” – Psalm 118:9 “Thus says the Lord, “Cursed is the man who trusts in mankind and makes flesh his strength, and whose heart turns away from the Lord.” – Jeremiah 17:5
So, what are we to do?
1. “So do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring worries of its own. Today’s trouble is enough for today.” – Matthew 6:34
What happens today stays with today. There is no need to be anxious for the future because God will only bring the troubles one day at a time.
2. “The sufferings of the present are as nothing compared with the glory to be revealed in us.” – Romans 8:18
Life is a lot like a roller coaster; there are ups and downs and twists we did not expect, but because of the adventure we have though life, we will live with God for all eternity. The problems are only temporary, they help us grow into who we are and who we will become.
3. “When you go through deep waters, I will be with you.” – Isaiah 43:2
If God is putting us though it, He will not lead us alone. His reasoning for putting us though a tough time is because it is to make us stronger, smarter and closer to Him.
4. “This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.” – Psalm 118:24
Thanks to God, we wake up each morning. We must give him thanks for all that he does. Without him, there would not be this day. Glory be to God.
5. “I know that there is nothing better for them than to be happy and enjoy themselves as long as they live.” – Ecclesiastes 3:12
God has put us on this earth for a reason and purpose. He wants us to be joyful and be thankful for what we have. He also knows that once we are in the kingdom of Heaven with him, all we will know is happiness.
6. “When I am afraid. I put my trust in you.” – Psalm 56:3
As some people say, “let go and let God,” which is giving your worries and burdens to Him. He will deal with them and keep us safe.
7. “He replied, ‘What is impossible for mortals is possible for God.'” – Luke 18:27
There are so many things on earth that seem impossible for us to comprehend or do, but with God everything and anything is possible. He is all knowing and all powerful, nothing can stop Him.
8. “Jesus answered, ‘You do not know now what I am doing, but later you will understand.'” – John 13:7
Life is so crazy sometimes and it’s hard to understand why things happen. Everything happens for a reason. It may not make sense now or in twenty minutes. One day, He will come full circle and shine light onto His perfect plan that He has just for us.
9. “Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not rely on your own insight.” – Proverbs 3:5
He knows us better than we know ourselves. That is because He created us with our own special looks, unique talents and traits. When you give Him your trust, He will give you His guidance.
10. “…for we walk by faith, not by sight.” – 2 Corinthians 5:7
God knows where we have been and where we are going. It is all in His divine plan. By walking in faith, we are giving all of our doubts about life to Him. In return, He is giving us the support of knowing that He is there with us.
11. “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.” – John 10:11
God gave His only Son to us, only for Him to die on the cross for our sins. We are God’s sheep, and He is our shepherd. He would do anything and everything for us, and He does.
Linda shared this yesterday from Lin Wood’s GAB feed. It’s too good not to share even if I really don’t get poetry, much to a number of nuns’ dismay. This one, though, is in cuplets that even I get. (Edited for stanza clarity.)
Twas the weekend before covfefe, and all thru the land, The lefties were trembling at the cards in Trump’s hand. The patriots were nestled, all snug in their beds, While visions of perp walks danced in their heads.
The laptops recovered in a raid days ago, Shed new light on the crimes of our treasonous foe. When up on the web there arose such a clatter, Big tech blocking accounts like free speech didn’t matter.
Impeachment was threatened, amendment 25, “The Trump administration must not survive!” They screamed from the rooftops, on every news show. “This bad bad bad orange man has just got to go!”
But Donald J Trump had a card up his sleeve, a card so glorious no one could believe. You see, he had caught them. He set a big trap. He knew they would try this election fraud crap.
He watched them all do it, all in real time. He was sure that Mike Pence would certify their crime. His intel had told him they’d planned a false flag, To make sure Trump’s destruction was all in the bag.
The Dems told Antifa “Show up in disguise.” “Wear your MAGA hats backwards so no one will get wise.” “When we start the debate, you all storm inside. Don’t worry, the police will open doors wide.”
“We will blame all your damage on Trump and his fans, So never again will Trump thwart all our plans.” Trump knew Dems would do this, he sent special ops, They dressed like Antifa and grabbed the laptops.
Upon them was evidence of aggregious crimes. The Deep State had done this crap so many times. Straight to the military the evidence went. Charges of treason were now imminent.
No screaming or crying would stop what was to come. Resignation and prison, and Gitmo for some. Military tribunals will convict all these traitors. Who stole an election because they were haters.
When the trials are done and the votes are done right. Crimes done in the darkness have come to the light… Trump will be sworn in to finish his eight. And we will continue to make America great.
Call me a glutton for punishment, but there is hope in all of this. Just hang on. President Trump and his people would not have come this far to just let it all go in a stolen election.
Are we there yet?

Normally, in this space, a reading from the day’s Mass is featured. Today, the readings simply do not fit our situation. However, a passage from Ecclesiasticus, a book commonly called Sirach for it’s author, does somewhat fit. This book is part of the Greek or Helenistic Canon of the Old Testament that was removed from the Septuagint in the 300 years or so following Christ’s time on Earth, and is one of the seven books not in protestant bibles.
Ecclesiasticus, Chapter 10
A wise judge shall judge his people, and the government of a prudent man shall be steady. [2] As the judge of the people is himself, so also are his ministers: and what manner of man the ruler of a city is, such also are they that dwell therein. [3] An unwise king shall be the ruin of his people: and cities shall be inhabited through the prudence of the rulers. [4] The power of the earth is in the hand of God, and in his time he will raise up a profitable ruler over it. [5] The prosperity of man is in the hand of God, and upon the person of the scribe he shall lay his honour.
[6] Remember not any injury done thee by thy neighbour, and do thou nothing by deeds of injury. [7] Pride is hateful before God and men: and all iniquity of nations is execrable. [8] A kingdom is translated from one people to another, because of injustices, and wrongs, and injuries, and divers deceits. [9] But nothing is more wicked than the covetous man. Why is earth and ashes proud? [10] There is not a more wicked thing than to love money: for such a one setteth even his own soul to sale: because while he liveth he hath cast away his bowels.
[11] All power is of short life. A long sickness is troublesome to the physician. [12] The physician cutteth off a short sickness: so also a king is today, and tomorrow he shall die. [13] For when a man shall die, he shall inherit serpents, and beasts, and worms. [14] The beginning of the pride of man, is to fall off from God: [15] Because his heart is departed from him that made him: for pride is the beginning of all sin: he that holdeth it, shall be filled with maledictions, and it shall ruin him in the end.
[16] Therefore hath the Lord disgraced the assemblies of the wicked, and hath utterly destroyed them. [17] God hath overturned the thrones of proud princes, and hath set up the meek in their stead. [18] God hath made the roots of proud nations to wither, and hath planted the humble of these nations. [19] The Lord hath overthrown the lands of the Gentiles, and hath destroyed them even to the foundation. [20] He hath made some of them to wither away, and hath destroyed them, and hath made the memory of them to cease from the earth.
[21] God hath abolished the memory of the proud, and hath preserved the memory of them that are humble in mind. [22] Pride was not made for men: nor wrath for the race of women. [23] That seed of men shall be honoured, which feareth God: but that seed shall be dishonoured, which transgresseth the commandments of the Lord. [24] In the midst of brethren their chief is honourable: so shall they that fear the Lord, be in his eyes. [25] The fear of God is the glory of the rich, and of the honourable, and of the poor:
[26] Despise not a just man that is poor, and do not magnify a sinful man that is rich. [27] The great man, and the judge, and the mighty is in honour: and there is none greater than he that feareth God. [28] They that are free shall serve a servant that is wise: and a man that is prudent and well instructed will not murmur when he is reproved; and he that is ignorant, shall not be honoured. [29] Extol not thyself in doing thy work, and linger not in the time of distress: [30] Better is he that laboureth, and aboundeth in all things, than he that boasteth himself and wanteth bread.
[31] My son, keep thy soul in meekness, and give it honour according to its desert. [32] Who will justify him that sinneth against his own soul? and who will honour him that dishonoureth his own soul? [33] The poor man is glorified by his discipline and fear: and there is a man that is honoured for his wealth. [34] But he that is glorified in poverty, how much more in wealth? and he that is glorified in wealth, let him fear poverty.
As always, prayers for the fight against that which seeks to enslave us are welcome.
