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!

A Tab-Clearing Selection of Videos

OK, people, listen up.

I have collected WAY too many videos in my tabs, with the intent of using one every week in the Monday open thread. The trouble is, I collect them much faster than I am using them.

Well, I’m going to FLUSH some of them. Right now. And every week. Until I have a more manageable number.

Find what you like – play what you like – ignore the rest.

Thank you for your consideration of this matter.

(1) The Nancy Mace Allegations

Nancy Mace makes explosive allegations on the floor of the House. Go to 19:00 minutes where it begins (it should be queued up).

(2) Einstein, Emmy Noether, and General Relativity

Is Veritasium a heavy metal? If so, I maintain that it is still good for you! This is fascinating history about Einstein, even if you ignore the science. It’s basically about a woman mathematician who came up with some math and science that saved Albert’s butt!

(3) Barbara Corcoran On Donald Trump

I’m not saying she’s right about WHY Trump is the GOAT, but she is right THAT Trump is the GOAT, and her little story here is fascinating. You’ve seen this before – still – worth another watching!

(4) The World’s Dumbest Calculator For Pi

This is actually kinda cool, but in the end, you will feel the dumbness, and it burns! “Moar Maker Madness!”

(5) Pyromaniacs, Clickety-Clacks, and the Thermite Welding of Railroad Tracks

Veritasium with all the fireworks and none of the equations. OK, maybe just a few equations. But still, it’s all worth it. Enjoy!

Stay tuned for the next five tabs to escape though this page!
