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:
kamagraphy
noun
- making copies of original paintings using treated canvas
- a specialized method of painting reproduction in which the original is destroyed, but large numbers of reproductions are created
- an Indian dance troupe based on the Kama Sutra
Used in a sentence
The practice of kamagraphy is not the same as kamalagraphy, which I refuse to define.

MUSIC!
Is Frampton’s-camelography close enough?
THE STUFF
This is a really great chess game, with an excellent explanation of all the blunders by both sides. THE GOAT – Magnus Carlsen – goes down a queen, but fights back to a win.
Sounds like a certain President, if you ask me!
Just sayin’!
And now it’s time for Wolf Moon’s Snow Moon Review of the new film MELANIA.
In order to get this out quickly, but fairly completely, I’m basically doing it as lists of bullet points. Yeah, that’s not very artistic, but I don’t want these points to drown in a bunch of evasive prose. I want people to know what I observed, what I think, and what to watch for.
I will start off with a list of non-spoilers. You can decide after THAT, if you want to read the spoilers. If you don’t want to read them, then you can just skip over the rest. I don’t have a spoiler tool for the text of this article, sadly.
Non-Spoilers
The Performance
- At least in our area, the film is doing well.
- This is the most packed movie I have been to, in a long time.
- We had to settle for front row seats, because pretty much everything else was taken, several hours before the showing. Thankfully, we were not in a front corner. Reclining seats help.
- Checking online for tickets may be a good idea.
- There were no protests, hecklers, or interruptions.
- There were classy laughs in appropriate places.
- There were tears in appropriate places. Grab extra napkins if you don’t have tissues.
- There were silent claps, raised hands, and thumbs up throughout the film.
- There was significant applause which waited respectfully until the end.
My Opinions
- I am glad I saw this movie in a theater.
- I may get the DVD so that I can freeze-frame it to study details.
- I know why Trump already saw it twice, and will likely watch it more times.
- I believe this movie is historically important.
- The movie will be cited by historians for many reasons, including things that it reveals.
- The importance is not solely documentary – it is more than a documentary.
- The movie is quite entertaining, but its significance exceeds its entertainment value.
- Melania’s historical importance as a FLOTUS is evident and proven by the end of the movie, yet no effort is expended to make that point – it makes itself.
- Anybody who is culturally or vocationally interested in fashion, beauty, entertainment, history, government, etc., needs to see this movie, even if they DESPISE Trump.
- The movie is a tribute to every person who has ever worked in arts, beauty, entertainment, politics, culture, government service, the military, and many other featured vocations.
- Cthulhu’s theory that Melania or Barron might be Q is not, IMO, proven by the film, but OTOH, this film absolutely destroys any assertions that Melania is not profoundly capable, very influential on Trump, and herself a focus of influence.
- Trump’s great respect for Melania, and vice versa, is extremely evident.
- Trump’s sense of humor, his love of “regular folks”, and his poise and savvy are on display.
- Many things that happened during that period of time are explained by this movie.
- I will be citing details from this movie, in a month or two, but I’d like to wait for people who want to see it, to have that opportunity first.
- I recommend watching Melania – if not now, then once it appears on the small screen.
- If you watch it in a theater, you will understand how Melania herself set the tone for the audience response.
OK – if you want to skip the spoilers, then take off now! Head down to the comments! Or watch the trailer, which contains a few of the spoiler items, without full context.

Spoilers
- Yes, Melania not only WEARS “that dress” – it’s the star of the show! I have to admit that I like it, but maybe that’s just me. It really shows off her figure in a flattering way.
- The stylized “R” on the front is actually pretty cool, IMO. RRRub it in, why don’t we?
- Melania’s designer is a great guy, and it’s a lot of fun to watch her interact with him.
- Trump is hilarious and interjects “wisely” but “wise guy” in some serious situations. He knows how to ease the tension, which is interesting.
- Trump NEVER steals the show. His respect for his wife is incredible. It’s very clear that he’s proud of her, and of this movie.
- IMO Melania was part of the reason they moved the Inauguration indoors. She was very concerned about security during the parade. This woman is extremely smart. Was God listening to her prayers when He sent the Inauguration plans into the deep freeze?
- Speaking of prayers, the church scene in NYC is awesome.
- Melania has a network of First Ladies around the world who she Face-Times with or meets in person. I want to study that part more closely.
- The stats on foster kids going to college are abysmal. Yeah. WOW. She has a point.
- Brigitte Macron sure looks like a woman – at least as much as Candace Owens does. Glass houses?
- Trump values Melania’s input to the point of making one of the most important changes in his Inauguration speech, because she suggests it right there as he practices.
- One of Trump’s executive orders is due to input from Melania. Very impressive, very appropriate. She’s a subject matter expert. Again, it’s tied to her network.
- Melania seems unbothered by the fact that Trump doesn’t always listen to her advice.
- Melania’s maturity is very evident, and just off the charts.
- Melania’s favorite musicians include Michael Jackson – she knows the words to his songs!
- The inside of Trump Force One is extremely cool and luxurious.
- The sound track of the movie includes some big hits, which are used in a smart and cunning fashion.
- Melania’s most admired First Ladies (given near the end) are an interesting selection – especially considering who is NOT there.
- Melania’s parents are fascinating – especially her mother who is the “Rebecca” of the movie.
- Melania’s mom taught her tailoring, and the tailors love her for her knowledge of their craft, plus for being a professional model.
- Melania does some modeling on camera.
- Melania’s staffers are scary smart women. She hires two more of them, whose interviews are part of the filming process.
- Vivek shows up all over the place, without speaking. It’s clear that Trump, Melania, or both, like him.
- Elon, Bezos, Tim Cook, many others. It’s fun.
- A lot of interesting people show up at the Inauguration functions.
- I had forgotten that Kamala showed up in a designer MAO JACKET. Yeah. Worth seeing again, just to realize who she is.
- Melania does a dance or two. Watch for them!
- Trump ALWAYS says thanks to people after a photo shoot. What a MENSCH. Talk about good atomic habits!
- I’m sure the Secret Service approved every frame. Watch for artistic blurring and motion of the camera at certain points where they wanted things a bit fuzzy.
- Melania’s pride in Barron is repeatedly evident.
- Limiting the amount of footage from the “indoor parade” (a rally, basically) that my wife and I attended was artistically smart, even though I would have loved to have seen more. I am happy that enough was included to honor all of us who waited in the cold and dark to be there!
- Joe Biden looks happy in the footage. He also looks like he should be in a nursing home, but he looks happy. Trump interacts with him quite well. Watch for it.
Final thoughts – the poise, sophistication, and intelligence of a proud immigrant who loves America and her husband – fully on display. Like I said, this is a great and significant film. I’m glad I saw it.

And remember…….
Until victory, have faith!
And trust the big plan, too!
And as always….
