Dear KMAG: 20240812 Joe Biden Didn’t Win ❀ Open Topic

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

AND our beautiful REALFLOTUS.

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

And yes, it’s Monday…again.

But we WILL get through it!

We will always remember Wheatie,

Pray for Trump,

Yet have fun,

and HOLD ON when things get crazy!

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

Wheatie’s Rules:

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

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

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

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

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

Our beloved country is under Occupation by hostile forces.

Daily outrage and epic phuckery abound.

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

Joe Biden didn’t win.

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

Wolfie’s Wheatie’s Word of the Week:

delaminate

verb

  • to split into layers
  • to cause something assembled by lamination to come apart (or take apart) into the layers that make it up

MUSIC!

How about a mountain bluegrass documentary? The REAL McCOY.

Hope a few folks here appreciate this one!

THE STUFF

Enjoy a really nice video about Richard Feynman!

Fascinating!

Just sayin’!

And remember…….

Until victory, have faith!

And trust the big plan, too!

And as always….

MUSIC!

Here’s an entire morning of bluegrass gospel. Enjoy, and praise the Lord!

WOW.

THE STUFF

This week, we’re going light on the math and science – but this will still tweak your brain.

Frankly, it’s kinda cool to see these people as “real” people.

Because they WERE real!

williwaw

noun

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

Used in a sentence

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

MUSIC!

How about some more bluegrass? Heck yeah!

THE STUFF

First, some explanation…..

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Just sayin’!

And remember…….

Until victory, have faith!

And trust the big plan, too!

And as always….

Word of The Week:

adze

noun or verb

  • A cutting tool that has a curved blade set at a right angle to the handle and is used in shaping wood.
  • An edge tool used to cut and shape wood.
  • A digging tool used like both an ax and a hoe.
  • To use an adze in the above manners.

Longer description

An adze or adz is an ancient and versatile cutting tool similar to an axe but with the cutting edge perpendicular to the handle rather than parallel. Adzes have been used since the Stone Age. They are used for smoothing or carving wood in hand woodworking, and as a hoe for agriculture and horticulture.

Used in a sentence

When a HOE, rake, pick or ax isn’t quite right for a job, consider the trusty adze.

Used in another tool (a mattock with the adze side down)

Music

It’s good to have some music back!

Let’s start off with some classic modern country from Mr. Nicole Kidman…..

From there, just add more Hollywood Country – yes, very country establishment, but still quite listenable.

Let’s try some ancient Fleetwood Mac!

Can’t have a Monday Wolf post without at least one “fiddle chick” – here’s a new one!

Here’s a nice relaxing song – haven’t heard from these gals in a while.

OK, lets finish with BACKWARDS BLUEGRASS. Extra RARE!

And now THE STUFF!

And yes…..

So – Titan instead of Mars? Call me skeptical.

How about some weird American accents?

Want to understand that whole DNA in the vaccines thing?

Here you go!

Are you getting enough sleep?

Einstein slept nearly 10 hours a day. He valued the significance of quality sleep for maintaining his well-being. His sleep routine, though, was out of the ordinary.

He regularly indulged in brief daytime naps, occasionally more than once a day. These quick naps, lasting just a few minutes, were thought by Einstein to revitalize his mental energy and creative thinking.

He felt that these short periods of rest gave him a renewed viewpoint to solve intricate scientific challenges.

Nice scientific opinion…..

Most people don’t spend a lot of time thinking about poetry, right? They have a life to live and they’re not really that concerned with Allen Ginsberg’s poems or anybody’s poems until their father dies. They go to a funeral, you lose a child, somebody breaks your heart. They don’t love you anymore. And all of a sudden you’re desperate for making sense out of this life. And has anybody ever felt this bad before? How did they come out of this cloud? Or the inverse; something great. You meet somebody and your heart explodes. You love them so much you can’t even see straight. You know, you’re dizzy. Did anybody feel like this? What is happening to me? And that’s when art’s not a luxury. It’s actually sustenance. We need it.

Speaking of art. Aw, heck! One more time!

Until victory, have faith!

And trust the big plan, too!

And as always….

Expressed in an medical infographic about “gender-affirming care”

Expressed in a pediatric policy infographic (pay attention!)

Discussed in a fascinating video illustrating institutional capture mediated by trans activist organization WPATH

Note that this video is over 3 years old.

Assorted Music

How about some more Celtic Woman?

In honor of our own songstress, for whom we are all praying.

OK – get in the time machine – OR ELSE!

And now for something completely different….

Another YouTube suggestion. Glad she got vocal-affirming care.

And a worthy finale.

Amen.

Notes on Autumn

Victory is not to be achieved in this world.

I’m not saying that we shouldn’t try to win.

I’m not saying we can’t win, won’t win, or shouldn’t win.

I’m not even saying that too much winning is a bad thing.

But TRUEST victory is not achieved in our own lifetimes.

Stated a different way, THE BEST IS ALWAYS YET TO COME.

Thus, to do the RIGHT thing, always keep that in mind. You are FINITE. God is NOT!

Word of The Week:

listless

adjective

  • Lacking energy or disinclined to exert effort; lethargic.
  • Characterized by a lack of energy or interest.
  • Having no desire or inclination; indifferent; heedless; spiritless.

Surprising etymology

From Middle English lystles, equivalent to list (“desire”) +‎ -less. Compare German lustlos and Dutch lusteloos (“lethargic, listless”). Doublet of lustless.

Used in a sentence

“….because if you’re not rooted in principle – ah – if all we are is listless vessels that’s just supposed to follow – you know – whatever happens to come down the pike on Truth Social every morning – that’s not going to be a durable movement.”

Used in a tweet

Compared to the word “deplorable”

Note how the reference to “Truth Social” was skillfully removed in Community Notes to make sure that DeSantis’ meaning was portrayed as “not about Trump” – when it clearly was. What the heck is happening at “X”?

Nothing that a bit of music can’t help us get through!

How about some vocal and orchestral epic?

Heck – let’s try some orchestral Western, too!

And maybe a string quartet, Bluegrass-style?

No breathers allowed in local politics.

Fortunately, there’s still time for a brief stop in here.

What’s shocking is how much national politics filters down into state and local politics. People are worried about big national ideological issues causing friction at our level. Sometimes the friction is there – sometimes it’s not. Sometimes it’s an inch away from all hell breaking loose. But this is where the reality happens, and trying to solve that reality for the best effect is HARD.
