“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.

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.

MUSIC!
When I was a kid, I had a young Ozark-bred hippie neighbor kid who loved these guys. My neighbor was a good guy. Probably took too many drugs, but he was OK.
Speaking of this song, I’m wishing Daughn well, wherever she is now!
THE STUFF
This is one of the best testimonies of belief in Christ that I have ever seen.
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!

Many may find the following discussion of thyroid treatment boring, but endocrine pharmacology is still a bit of a mystery to science. I found this “laid-back” conversation between two health hippie MAHA types to be really enjoyable, as they go down many rabbit holes.
This lady is a pharmacist who worked as a case consultant figuring out why people were having medical conflicts and side-effects. Her insights into polypharmacy (people taking too many drugs) are quite interesting.
The guy is a veteran of every medical fad on earth – so what he has distilled his health approach down to is also fascinating. Enjoy!
So if you sat through all of that, and still have confidence in alternative medicine, then you are SOLID as an explorer of difficult terrain, and my hat is off to you!

I’ll be blunt. The mathematics of WGTTs is messing up Newtonian physics, and the usual suspect troublemakers, Einstein and Schroedinger, are laughing!
Darren Beattie broke more important J6 stories than almost anybody. He and Julie Kelly grabbed the J6 narrative out of the hands of the left, and beat the Biden administration into defeat with it.

Wolfie’s Wheatie’s Word of the Week:
volens
adjective
In the state of mind where one voluntarily accepts a specific risk.
Willing.
In Latin: wishing, willing, welcome.
Primarily a legal term.
Part of another term, nolens volens (willing or unwilling; willy-nilly).
In law, volens is a state of mind, referring to voluntary acceptance of a specific risk. It is usually pleaded by way of defense, and often employs the legal Latin volenti non fit injuria. The term volens itself is often used in contradistinction to the terms sciens (meaning mere knowledge of the risk, without any voluntary assumption of it).
History of the term
The earliest known use of the adjective volens is in the 1870s. OED’s earliest evidence for volens is from 1872, in Law Journal . volens is a borrowing from Latin.
Exemplary legal usage
Sanjeet Singh Kaila vs Union Of India And Another [2nd May 2017]
In this case it was said that the risk may arise from a defect in a machine which the servant has engaged to work of such a nature that his personal danger and consequent injury must be produced by his own act, If he clearly foresaw the likelihood of such a result, and, not withstanding, continued to work, I think that, according to the authorities, he ought to be regarded asvolens. The case may be very different when there is no inherent peril in the work performed by the servant, and the risk to which he is exposed arises from a defect in the machine used in another department over which he has no control.(emphasis supplied)
MUSIC!
Start off with some super-classic country re-done by the next generation – twenty years ago.
I always liked Lee Ann, as part of “90’s country” which is currently held in some kind of classic esteem, but which seemed edgy and modern to us back then!
Let’s jump forward ten years to 2014, looking back again.
OK – we’re back to the present, with a recent recording of current country music. It’s poppy, but still very listenable.
Any classic rock fans out there? If so, check out this gigantic medley of Rush tropes to create one massive intro.
I was led to this song from last week’s bagpipe video. Weirdest fusion of genres (Punjabi and Scot) in forever. Then add rap music and stunning visuals. Enjoy!

Yup. The left takes over everything, including Community Notes. “Note” how Milloy has to preemptively defend against abuse.
Milloy is using a very effective tactic to make people understand the most basic science – cause and effect. He’s showing that people are right to suspect there is no correlation between what the Climate Commies say affects climate, and reality.
We would expect to see direct connections, but we don’t. Why not? They will have answers, but the answers will ultimately fail to convince, as Occam’s Razor is repeatedly violated by hand-waving excuses and Rube Goldberg alibis, rather than pleasingly straightforward and multi-explanatory science.
Now let’s look at the COVID lies.
Two killer tweets that show COVID was a globo-commie Chinese/American production.
Note that Avril Haines is an Obama Girl – one of the Furies – or Harpies as I like to call them. The other two are Susan Rice and Lisa Monaco, also running the country. They’re part of the plot that runs Dementia Hitler as an avatar for Obola, who’s really behind what’s happening to America.
Thank God this is America. And keep thanking God if you want to keep it that way.
