“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
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).

From the throats of herons and lost wolves, we learn of a mistake made by the gods. They gave us red-winged birds and vesper sparrows who make songs of leaf-light and flying. The gods thought we’d be so happy— all that fruit, one big garden, our nakedness in sun and water. They never counted on our needing a sound for longing, too. They gave that to the loon, to wild dogs whose teeth throb from the light of the moon; they poured it into the long necks of birds. How could they have known? Where in our bodies would they have moored the slender cry of the crane who calls out that night is closing the sky, taking away the glinted green of the frogs’ moist backs, the dazzle the sun makes of every hair, of every shining wing?
MUSIC!
A “deep house” electronica playlist called “Orectic Mix”……..
Epic orchestral video found by searching on “orectic music”
THE STUFF
SO – for “Action April” we are taking two weeks to study something called the Principle of Least Action.
Here is the second of TWO videos covering the topic.
Not sure I’m buying this, as my colleague, Prof. Suspicious Cat, has questions similar to those mentioned in the video, about the significance and interpretation of the role of the diffraction grating, and its potential behavior in lensing at odd angles.

OK, this is interesting – a mixture of Jefferson Airplane, epic music, and Matrix visuals.
Which led me to another…..
Which led me back to the original. Which seems very strange now.
THE STUFF
Why is AI being used to create fake stories about Elon Musk?
I find this sort of fake story to be much more annoying that AI country music.
OK – let’s wash that away with some reality – the study of “perfect” numbers! (I may have played this topic before, but whatever – let’s play it again!)
Six is a pretty cool number – but 28? And 496? And (2^82,589,933 – 1)?
Gail Combs can’t get into the WordPiss editor – it’s some kind of browser/WordPiss compatibility problem. Doesn’t matter – we shall overcome. I am able to get past the problem, thankfully. Thus, this PLACE HOLDER UNDER ARREST post, which is a tweaked copy of a post I made on 20240403, which included the notorious PLACE HOLDER UNDER ARREST-ORAMA image and Word Of The Week.
So here we go. Start thinking about Trump’s inauguration.
Who here is going? Any plans being made? Time to start thinking about it!
So now we return to this lightly updated “vintage” post. Enjoy!

Joe Biden didn’t win, and neither did Hillary Clinton or Kamala Harris. This is our Real President:

Please forgive us, Wheatie, we did not know That you had left us with armor in tow We had no idea with what you dealt We did not know the pain you felt And now we can only imagine With you what really did happen Cause rarely did you complain And/or share your personal pain Of one thing we are most certain You are flying high behind the curtain Watching over us above the crowds Our Warrior Angel above the clouds Thank You, Wheatie, for caring for us While you were here among the fuss We miss you dear you have no idea Since time began in the pangaea With you there was no time In your wisdom you would chime To clarify and magnify The what where how and why We did not question when you left We were not slightly bereft But over time we wondered why You did not at least stop by Now we know where you have gone With the break of this new dawn We could be angry but are not Tho with an arrow we’ve been shot Rest peacefully Warrior Angel dear Send us a sign that you are near A butterfly a flower a kiss of rain From your love do not refrain God sends Angels to watch over us And now we have an Angel Plus A Warrior Angel of Magnificence From today and forward hence
Boilerplate, more or less, but worth reading again and again, if only for the minor changes, and to stay out of moderation.
MINOR CHANGE NUMBER 1 – RETRACTED!
No reasons for you not to joke about Team Harpies On Pedestals, now that the nation has voted overwhelmingly for FREE SPEECH. Just remember that I really avoid deleting posts, so if you say something stupid, and you regret it later, you will need to add a clarification comment, as opposed to deleting it.
OK? Them’s the rules.
OTHER THAN THAT…….
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 2016, 2020, and 2024 elections.
You may also pray for our nation, our world, and even our enemies.
Musical Interlude
In honor of dear Wheatie, we now present some music to soothe, inspire, invigorate, or relax.
Here are three “placeholder” videos, selected from old Wheatie posts.
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).
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:
volacious
adjective
able, apt or fit to fly
Shown in a picture
Used in a sentence
It’s not a question of whether or not to toss the toxic dwarf into GITMO – the question is whether he is sufficiently volacious to make it there intact without bubble wrap.
MUSIC!
Speaking of volcano sacrifices, as a belated Halloween offering, and with EPIC musical character beloved by Wheatie, we bring you this little number…..
And now for…..
THE STUFF
Thank you, Elon! You did it!
SO, in honor of Senator “Lurch” Thune, we have this!
And if that’s not enough Lurch, here’s more than you can handle!

crepuscular
adjective
Of or like twilight; dim.
Active primarily at dawn or dusk or both. Used of animals.
Occurring at dawn or dusk or both: “crepuscular foraging; a crepuscular stroll through the park.”
Used in a sentence
Deer and skunks are both crepuscular forms of wildlife that one is likely to encounter during an evening walk.
MUSIC!
Some epic vocal from back when we were on CTH (2017)…..
THE STUFF
This is fun – and Steve’s posts have prepared you for it!
Yeah, this may be a bit of “wowee” science, but it’s still good.
Even if you don’t remember every detail and every equation that Steve discussed, you will find that he prepared you in a most excellent manner to understand every aspect of this! I think that’s very cool. Enjoy!

Wolfie’s Wheatie’s Word of the Week:
pseudandry
noun
assumption of a man’s proper name by a woman
use of a masculine name by a woman as a pseudonym
the use by a female writer of a male pseudonym
the first step in girls falling for the transgender social contagion
what brainwashed schoolgirls do with the help of Democrat teachers
appropriation of male nomenculture by a mentally ill woman
nomenculture
noun
Wolfmoonian neologism (which may or may not already exist) designed to criticize left-wing political correctness over it’s ridiculous “cultural appropriation” morality. The resemblance to nomenclature is intentional. The obvious meaning is “culture of naming things”.
MUSIC!
Enjoy a classic “epic” track from back when we were on CTH, supporting Trump against the Jebusites and Donkey Coms!
Steve’s post on Tides reminded me of this scene in the movie Interstellar. Pay attention to the music.
This guy’s goofy deadpan humor is just fun to watch. He “collects” great bass players around the world in his video channel. Enjoy!
THE STUFF
Did you ever wonder why LinkedIn is so horrible, and encourages a weird kind of PC phoniness? This is the guy who founded it, and who runs it.
Reminder: the man who finally backed the $83.3 million defamation lawsuit against Trump is Democrat Mega Donor Reid Hoffman.
Reid Hoffman has also financially backed Nikki Haley.
This is a coordinated attack on Trump. Are you paying attention yet?
Keep pushing the Faucists and the Branch Covidians every day on masks, vaccines, and DEATH BY JABS. They’re backing up and giving OUR SIDE the scientific credibility now.
The Science ™ threw away randomized trials, control groups, civil rights, informed consent, benefit harm analysis, and scientific debate. We are in a new dark age. https://t.co/bdW4V5ts1Z
Pay attention here. Democrats are MAOIST. Public schools are now MAOIST. This is not an accident.
Anyone who has ever studied China under Mao, as I have (both professionally and academically), will recognize that this is how the Cultural Revolution started. Denouncing well-meaning parents. Listen to the way she speaks. It is rushed, words are poorly articulated–as if she did… https://t.co/Izd8mB7PoE
This is our SIXTH New Year, as we are now over FIVE years old.
AND HERE WE GO!

Word of the New Year:
courage
noun
The state or quality of mind or spirit that enables one to face danger, fear, or vicissitudes with self-possession, confidence, and resolution; bravery.
Pat Frederick and Aubergine had an inspired conversation, and I think they’re both right.
PEACE – STRENGTH – CLARITY – COURAGE
Peace
Strength
Clarity
Courage
and always remember
and even more importantly
THESE qualities are what we need to get past THEIR NEXT JANUARY SIXTH PLOT!!!
MUSIC!
We offer multi-song selections from multiple genres. Take your pick!
Here’s something that wasn’t on your bingo card for the New Year – Indian Christian music!
A little too Eastern? Try Western! Medieval Western! Note the interesting similarities – and differences.
OK – let’s celebrate LAST YEAR – with an BIG WOLF epic / heroic orchestral music mix from 2023!!!
Feeling uninspired? Try some INSPIRATIONAL electronic music that’s used to addict people to VIDEO GAMES.
And if you still feel like partying, and want some energy, here is an interesting genre called “nightcore” – which is basically sped-up music, like we loved when we were kids, playing 33 1/3 rpm vinyl at 45 rpm.
https://youtu.be/s5nLNf_5jrs
And how can we celebrate a turn of the Gregorian calendar, without a selection of real, live, Gregorian chants, by Spanish monks?
Sorry, but we can only provide a link to this one.
If you can’t do links, here is an alternative – an hour of “Gregorian pop” with a female vocalist!
https://youtu.be/Y6nf7nz58zA
OK – if you’re still looking for something, try an oddball collection of classic country. This is a strange mix, but it’s got its moments, like riding in somebody else’s pickup truck with an 8-track player and an eclectic selection of tapes strewn everywhere.
https://youtu.be/7sXhvCn5Olo
Still feeling the Christmas spirit, but DONE with trees, ornaments, and all that “not about Christ” stuff? How about hours and hours of hymns on piano and cello, with soothing videos of nature in the background?
Sorry boys – the AI-generated “big fiddle” gal only appears on the cover!
OK – time to finish with SIREENS. Real ones. In a STAIRWELL!
We repeat our greetings from Christmas!
A Happy New Year to ALL of you – posters, lurkers, appreciated authors, former posters, beloved guests, wandering journalists, opposition researchers, Deep State(TM) spies, foreign and domestic intelligence, and future historical AIs.
We appreciate your presence here, in the New Year! Please feel free to carry our messages of TRUTH and GOD’S GLORY to the infinite corners of the universe!
THE NEW YEAR STUFF
How about our very first New Years on The Q Tree, in 2019?
This special NEW YEAR’S DAY 2019 (TUESDAY) open thread is 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 world. Say what you want, comment on what other people said, comment on people’s comments. Keep it civil. Treehouse rules, but expect lots …
Take a close look at this site’s original tagline! Let’s have a little bit of fun with that stuff!
The fight for TRUTH is spreading to the sane classic liberal left.
I’m a liberal and I became a journalist that almost exclusively covers the “gender-affirming” model of care and the pseudoscience propping it up because of the mainstream media’s failure to objectively and accurately report on it. pic.twitter.com/dTMcQ6kvZh
Check out how she’s fighting – and how the dark side is trying to fight back.
Brilliant takedown in @Quillette of the @splcenter’s ridiculous new report that aimed to “expose” the network I belong to — and the shocking revelation that people who have the same goals of aligning gender medicine with evidence-based principles COMMUNICATE with each other! pic.twitter.com/6uueuTOWG0
