Dear MAGA: 20260305 ✾ Thank God ± Theistic Evolution ∈ Thursday Open Topic

This man, making Christmas calls from the White House, believes the world is a sphere. And he has even flown around it! So has our beautiful FLOTUS, who happens to be his wife!

Truth and common sense must be valued by us, as individuals, in order to lastingly disempower the authoritarian fake news media. This includes the perniciously smarmy science media, which never answers for its errors and lies. I believe that the media has been responsible not only for leftist pathologies like scientism, medical fascism, and radical gender ideology, but also for reactionary movements like modern flat Earth, rejection of all medicine, and Biblical geological literalism.

Just as Wheatie’s Stormwatch Monday Open Thread was created as a place for people to openly express their thoughts and opinions, so, too, is this Thank God Thursday Open Thread, where honest but civil discussion of all topics is encouraged. This thread is also to be known as Theistic Evolution Thursdays, due to the author’s expected “pontification” about his scientific, religious, and political opinions. You are welcome to pontificate back! Free speech matters!

Please label all AI-generated content as being such, unless it is patently obvious (e.g., humorous AI images). It is important that we as individuals not begin to pretend that socially derived artificial intelligence is actually our own, as this form of stealthy social information averaging and feedback would be one more pretense and deception between people, in service of stupid Marxist socialism, and of those who wish to substitute their communally protected lies for actual truth.

The source of alleged truth matters, not for the truth itself, but for validation.

And yes, it’s THURSDAY…again.

And that’s it. We’re done stealing from Wheatie.

OK – maybe her rules need to be posted.

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

Other rules may be derivable from these, and that conjecture is left for discussion.

If there is nothing beyond the “W” below, then this is a placeholder. For health reasons, I can’t always post a timely opinion before each Thursday, but I will try. Otherwise, you have this placeholder post, where YOU provide the content. Enjoy!

Enjoy the first set of Thursday trinkets for March!

(1) Fake Feynman AI does a nice job here of being our Silicon Steve – explaining why [probably] Venus rotates BACKWARDS relative to the other planets of the solar system.

Watch for the typographical errors by the writing AI, which get sucked up into face-palm narration by the vocalization AI. It’s just stupid and cringe. Nevertheless, the science is good.

(2) An interesting chess rematch narrated by DrMike – check it out.

(3) Transitional hominin species Homo habilis gets a new set of skeletal remains, confirming the earlier ones, and our favorite junior anthropologist (Erika, a.k.a. Gutsick Gibbon) summarizes both the background science and the new paper on the new find. The real science can be a bit boring, but that’s often definitive for real science.

(4) Reaction video to (IMO) one of the best live rock performances from back in the mid-70s – by that band called Rush.

Yes, it’s annoying that she keeps interrupting the good parts, so here it is without interruption.

And if you’d prefer a shorter version with video, we have that, too!

(5) OK, how about more Rush, but with a SuSE twist? You may have heard this parody before, but it’s worth a listen to appreciate how well it’s re-done here.

(6) This is ….. different. An AI, heavy metal version of “The Old Rugged Cross”.

(7) You know, I think I’ll stick to the calming versions of these hymns!

OK, that does it. Enjoy your weekend!

Another assortment of digital trinkets for your fascination and amazement!

(1) I know I’ve showed you this one before, but I always enjoy it. Love the intro, too. Replay!

(2) Language. Humans do it. Crows do it. Well, other primates do it, too. Another anthropology trinket.

(3) Assault machine guns are getting updated. Check out the latest improvements!

(4) Three very fast chess games, with a lot of analysis of every move. CHESS LEARING CENTER! And y’all are LEARING from the very best!

(5) MOAR Christian praise from my favorite digital hymnsmiths!

That’s all for now – as I am CLEARING the tags of LEARING. So to speak. LOL!

Have a great weekend!

Here we go again! Thankful Thursday!

(1) Infinity, like AI, is causing problems again. Let “Purple-Haired Geek Chick” try to get you to care!

(2) Time for the companion to a previous video. This time: men’s hobbies that WOMEN LIKE. Maybe. Not always. But often. Whatever.

(3) Was that too simpy? Then listen to this young white gal, who (while working in Hollyweird) saw the insanity of DEI, and now sees the radicalization of young white men by DEI. There’s a sign of hope in her conclusion.

(4) OK – you need this! THE BEST video on GREENLAND that you will find on the internet. No clickbait, no AI, no bullshit. Just the facts, and images that actually match the conversation. This is all the background you need, to figure out why Trump is acting NOW.

(5) Erika (a.k.a. Gutsick Gibbon) just put out her 4th teaching video with TFE organizer and evolution skeptic Will Duffy – this one is about the age of the Earth. Yeah, it’s over 4 hours long, but if you’re looking for a background lecture, this has some interesting stuff. Check it out!

(6) How about a jazzy, rockin’ hymn? This will put you in a good mood!

Have a great weekend!

It’s Thursday again! Time to send in the Temu trinkets!

(1) Fork weans? NO! FOUR QUEENS! This is a great game! Watch it all the way to the surprise ending!

(2) This is some heavy science with very little math. Einstein vs. Bohr. Relativity vs. Quantum Mechanics. But explained in a way that makes sense. If somebody tried to explain Bell’s Theorem to you, and it didn’t sit right, or make sense, it was likely because most explanations are BAD. Check this out – it explains why Bell’s result vindicated Bohr on the numbers and Einstein on the problems!

(3) After hearing how weird science can be, consider casting aside any guilt about weirdness in religion – and specifically the weirdness of ANGELS. And yet, as you will see, much of their otherworldly nature is comforting. This is a fascinating video explaining the strange beauty of the angelic, from the basics on up.

(4) OMG, Trump is amazing. If you have not seen this, you have one more chance now to see him roast CNN at a “gaggle”! LOL!!!

https://youtu.be/RfIaJSdDnN0

And since that video didn’t work, try this one!

(5) Let’s finish things with a jazzy version of a hymn, from my “usual suspects”! This will put you in a great mood!

Have a great weekend, and stay warm!

Dear KMAG: 20251222 Trump Won Three Times ❀ Open Topic + End of Hanukkah 2025

Joe Biden never won. This is our Real President – 45, 46, 47.

AND our beautiful REALFLOTUS.

This Stormwatch Monday Open Thread remains open – VERY OPEN – a place for everybody to post whatever they feel they would like to tell the White Hats, and the rest of the MAGA/KAG/KMAG world (with KMAG being a bit of both).

And yes, it’s Monday…again.

But we WILL get through it!

We will always remember Wheatie,

Pray for Trump,

Yet have fun,

and HOLD ON when things get crazy!

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

Wheatie’s Rules:

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

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

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

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

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

Our backup site, The Q Tree 579486807, https://theqtree579486807.wordpress.com/
Our old alternative site, The U Tree, where civility is not a requirement
Our Gab Group, which is located at https://gab.com/groups/4178
Our various sister sites, listed in the Blogroll in the sidebar

Our beloved country is under Occupation by hostile forces.

Daily outrage and epic phuckery abound.

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

Joe Biden didn’t win.

And we will keep saying Joe Biden didn’t win until we get His Fraudulency out of our White House.

Wolfie’s Wheatie’s Word of the Week:

rounce

noun, verb (multiple meanings)

The handle for moving the carriage on a hand printing press
The handle by which the bed of a hand press, holding the form of type, etc., is run in under the platen and out again; — sometimes applied to the whole apparatus by which the form is moved under the platen.
The handle by which the bed of a hand press, holding the form of type, etc., is run in under the platen and out again.
The whole apparatus by which the form is moved under the platen.
to be agitated
to flounce around
to fuss
to restore damaged coffee by stirring it in a tub with boiling water and then drying it.

Used in a sentence mixing some of the above meanings

Through our leaflets protesting the lies of the Wall Street Journal, we did our best to rounce the bubble, one might say.

Shown in a picture of “rounce and rails”

Shown in another picture of “rounce and girths (straps)”

Shown in a video (“oiling the rounce”)

So how does one “pronounce the rounce”?

MUSIC!

You guessed it! Another hymn by these folks. For full disclosure, I don’t think this woman on the thumbnail is an actual person. Suspicious Cat doesn’t think this is her actual voice, either.

THE STUFF

Christmas is almost here! Are you ready?

Look what I discovered by searching on “rounce” and finding something uploaded by a teacher named “Nicole Rounce”!

Enjoy a patriotic musical!

Not exactly sure some of this conversation is historically accurate.

Just sayin’!

And remember…….

Until victory, have faith!

And trust the big plan, too!

And as always….

ENJOY THE SHOW

Christmas is approaching! Get in the spirit!

(1) Another hymn by this bunch. I find this very listenable.

(2) MOAR CHESS. Get in the spirit of giving! Watch these two top players give each other gift moves, until the one who gives the earliest gifts WINS. Otherwise known as a stupid, bad game, won by the biggest troll.

(3) OK – time to get serious for a moment.

GATTACA is coming, thanks to CRISPR. We were warned!

Another collection of TEMU TRINKETS. Don’t worship any of them – for all worldly things are IDOLS! But ordered here with increasing Godliness, enjoy these seven!

(1) Speaking of idols, this demonstration is straight outta CHURCH LADY 101. This song is oozing with downfall. Great beat and guitar, though! I loved this song back in the day. Get your “wise as serpents” on as you read the lyrics.

(2) Let’s move on to a quick and nostalgic review of SuSE musical parodies. A mixed bag of originals, spiritually, dissected by examination as cover versions with techie lyrics.

(3) Gonna go all “Steve” on y’all with an astronomy video. Turns out that neutron stars have a lot of interesting structure that’s requiring a lot of work to understand.

The AI narration is somewhat annoying, becoming more repetitive after the half-way point, but it’s still very educational, whether you stick it out or not.

(4) Let us transition [COUGH] away slowly from the idolatrous and the divinely created but nonetheless fully material toward [but not yet to] the divine, with this rendering of a still somewhat worldly song [watch the end of the video and check out this link].

(5) A nice, brief (2 minute) discussion of one of my favorite hymns. No music, just theology.

(6) And now the music – with the vocal part only as written lyrics – to aid in studying them. Consider these words in light of what is currently being launched against Trump and MAGA. Trump, who has done so much to return this nation to its Godly roots. Fortify thyself against the demons who attack!

(7) Now enjoy the music with vocals – a version I had not heard before. I found it worth going to YouTube to read the channel’s take on the song and its history.

Have a great weekend, as Christmas approaches!

(1) Explosives. Instantly reducing people to…… crumbs? Not vapor? Or is this “AND logic”?

(2) Have you ever wanted to go back to high school biology class? You won’t after this video! It’s CRINGE vs. CRINGE! Skip if you don’t want to enjoy the CRINGE!

(3) Try a different chess brain from my usual guy. This one does a deep dive into a SCANDAL of the chess world during this fascinating analysis of psychological war between top chess players.

The TL;DR – the world’s best player TOYS with the guy who made bogus accusations of computer-backed cheating at the top of chess world, by making a bunch of TROLL moves that a computer would NEVER recommend, and still beating him bloody!

(4) How about a TREEHOUSE DUDE who’s not Sundance? Check out “Mystery Treehouse” on the topic of the band Boston / the nerd Tom Scholz.

(5) Wanna talk back to those douchebags and cat-ladies who say that the Southwest UNITED STATES was stolen from MEH-HE-CO? Here you go – some fascinating history.

OK – that’s enough! Have a great weekend!
