Dear MAGA: 20251030 ✾ 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!

Dear KMAG: 20251027 Trump Won Three Times ❀ Open Topic

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,

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:

Wolfie’s Wheatie’s Word of the Week:

mensch

noun

A person of integrity and honor.
Alternative spelling of mentch.
A decent responsible person with admirable characteristics.

Longer explanation from Wikipedia

Mensch or mentsh is a Yiddish word which literally translates to “person”, and figuratively means “a person of integrity and honor”. Jewish American humorist Leo Rosten describes a mentsh as “someone to admire and emulate, someone of noble character. The key to being ‘a real mensch’ is nothing less than character, rectitude, dignity, a sense of what is right, responsible, decorous”. The term is used as a high compliment, implying the rarity and value of that individual’s qualities.

Used in a sentence

Pat Frederick asked for clarification about my referring to somebody’s behavior as having been “top mensch” – and this word of the week is the result.

THE STUFF

SO – there is apparently some TikTok BS called “six seven” – which is referred to as “brain rot” (such a mystery that ChiCom TikTok would promote this – such a mystery…..) and here is the explanation.

And now that you saw that (maybe), here is the video that it came from, which I am only including for the hilarious comments.

And if all that was just too much video brain rot, or explained too hiply fast to comprehend, here it is in the slow motion of legacy media.

Another mixed bag of TREATS! Three ladies who are NOT Obama’s “Furies”! And a small subterranean mammal that is NOT a rodent!

(1) I remember when I first heard this stuff, too! “Who is this band? Where have they BEEN?”

(2) Human anthropology. Complicated. Again. Even when it’s not really THE NEXT BIG THING.

(3) This may seems complicated, but it boils down to “chicken and egg” – and you know the rest!

(4) It’s MOLE DAY. October 23. And Mole Minute is 6:02 AM. Enjoy the moment!

A mole is basically the ratio between number of atoms and the weight of stuff. The units are “per mole” or /mole.

6.02 x 10^23 (six point zero two times 10 to the 23rd power), or……

602,214,076,000,000,000,000,000

As explained here…..

https://www.moleday.org

The mole number is arbitrary – it is not set by nature. It was chosen to make our chosen units of laboratory weights (grams) align with the numbers of protons and neutrons in the various atoms. E.g., so that one mole of hydrogen atoms weighed roughly a gram, and one mole of carbon atoms weighs roughly 12 grams. We could have English moles, Imperial moles, or even Star Trek Federation moles using some different standard of weight.

One way to think about this, is that a few grams of stuff (say, 56 grams of iron) is a little over a mole of it, meaning just over six hundred sextillion atoms.

Given that there are an estimated 10^80 atoms in the universe, a mere 10^23 atoms is just ONE 10^57th of it.

That’s 1/1000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000th of the universe. That’s not much.

That’s enough for today. Have a great weekend!

A selection of interesting tidbits!

(1) Check out our sister planet! She’s HOT!

(2) And speaking of HOT, so is Alexandra Botez Magnus Carlsen in this heavily handicapped chess match!

(3) What happens when you take a “Grumpy Cat” subject (evolution) and a “Suspicious Cat” subject (artificial intelligence), mix them together, and put them under both a clickbait / narcissist title and a slightly misleading caption?

Well, just turn up the patience and discernment, and listen past all that stuff.

The basic point – evolution is an intelligent process that learns and remembers, and adapts life to whatever circumstances it can.

Or as I would put it, not only is the universe pro-life and pro-intelligence – mathematics itself and reality itself are, too.

It’s almost as if things were made that way.

JUST SAYIN’!

THE STUFF

This brilliant idea from 2020 may be one of the simplest and best proofs that COVID-19 came from a laboratory. Note that the idea could not get published until much later – after the “vaccines” were a done deal. This delay of publication is much like what happened to the very early discovery that simple OTC antihistamines protected highly vulnerable people from death by COVID, which was “sat on” by the journals until it missed the chance to save millions of lives.

This is not common knowledge. Professor Nikolai Petrovski, vaccine inventor in South Australia, just a few weeks into the Pandemic, new confidently that the virus was probably man made.

This is not common knowledge. Professor Nikolai Petrovski, vaccine inventor in South Australia, just a few weeks into the Pandemic, new confidently that the virus was probably man made. To the amazement of Dr Drew in this podcast from 10 x months ago, who thought it was new research, Nikolai Petrovski discusses how in “The first few week of 2020, when the viral sequence was first released” he was only “modelling the virus to build a vaccine”. The other clip is from an AMPS seminar held just over a year ago, which works in well with the DR Drew clip. “If it’s come from an animal source, then there should be an animal out there who’s ACE2 binds better to the virus than Human ACE2, [but] rather than finding some exotic animal at the top of the list, we found Humans”[and it was] so well human adapted. “It took a long time to get published, because the narrative was, that [it] was not an acceptable question to be asking.”

Happy Holidays!

Yeah, I would normally prefer to say “Merry Christmas”, but this time, I really mean “Happy Holidays!”

It turns out that “Theistic Evolution Thursday” matches a lovely array of holidays this year.

Mole Day (October 23)
Thanksgiving (November 27)
Christmas (December 25)
New Year’s Day (January 1)

Hopefully, I’ll have special editions on those days.

Word From SteveInCO

A couple of weeks ago, Steve dropped me a PMTW that further explained his departure from this site. For a variety of reasons, I didn’t bother to mention it, the most important being that it wasn’t obviously being designated to be shared, and I wanted to respect Steve’s privacy and wishes.

Now, it may have been that Steve actually wanted me to share it, but I could not tell, because some unknown part of his message got cut off at the end – an apparent victim of some software limit on how much text can be copied and pasted into a guest comment. So I can’t even be sure about what things he said that might be missing. Steve’s intent was to drop off the message and not read anything on the site – he even said that he had not read any of our comments, as part of his determination to be “final” about his departure.

The most important thing to note is the following. Nothing Steve said, involved any change in what he had said before, or in his decision. He added some slight explanations of his earlier points, which was helpful to me as an admin and moderator. One thing I should say is this. Steve explained that upon later reading what he had sent, he realized that he had removed a few incendiary comments, but had accidentally left some references to them. THAT is why his statement about how we might react negatively to his departure seemed curious. There were some burning bridges which he had removed from the goodbye note, but he left text referring to them, essentially.

Whether Steve ever comes back is unknown, but for the moment, I think it’s unlikely. In any case, I wish him well, and much success in his endeavors.

Good News About Japan

It looks like Japan is going to get a female version of Shinzo Abe as Prime Minister. Her name is Sanae Takaichi (pronounced Sah-nah-eh Ta-ka-ee-chee). The more I read about her, the better she sounds. I suggest reading the Wikipedia article on her. Enjoy the hand-wringing and pearl-clutching by all the right people!

Comparisons to Margaret Thatcher are pleasing to me, as well as her hardcore dedication to “Abenomics”. And the sweet words, “China hawk”!

Stuff – of various kinds.

(1) I remember this movie! Something about Ellie!

(2) Moderately funny gun-guy stuff. Big-ass guns, “silencers”, flying concrete, and low-key humor!

(3) How does “Putin’s Brain” (Alexander Dugin) view what’s happening in the West? In many ways, like Bibi does, only he has a different name for the “Woke Reich”!

Alexander Dugin argues that the murder of Charlie Kirk and the Greater Israel project have fatefully split the Western political edifice, just recently held together by liberal globalism, into three opposing poles, leaving the “collective West” teetering on the brink of revolution.

https://www.arktosjournal.com/p/new-third-position

(4) In your dreams, you talked to your school board like this dude talked to his!

(5) Best case I’ve seen yet for the “trans conspiracy” theory of the assassination of Charlie Kirk, and how the plot was set up to minimize the fallout to the radical left, and direct blame away from the “trans community”.
