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).
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.

MUSIC!
On Inauguration Day, I am reminded of an old song we used to love on the radio. It’s been a while, but the song seems remarkably relevant now. Here is a version that’s easier to hear the lyrics.
Here’s a live version from 1986. Keep your eye on the flags.
THE STUFF
It’s time to recall Trump Gravity and “the roller coaster”!
Well, I don’t really have to do any holding together, now that I figured out what Trump is up to. He is shaking things out, but counting on Trump gravity to pull things back together as he moves along. He is moving “forward” at speeds Obama could not even dream of.
You and I will be anti-Trump trolls one day and MAGA heroes the next. Get used to it. Trump speed is the new normal. Some will call it flip-flopping, but that’s not what it is. Trump is dodging and weaving through reality faster than the reality can react to disrupt his plans.
I was explaining this to my wife. This is a roller-coaster now. Trump is no longer waiting for people to keep up. He is taking his bewildering art-of-the-deal campaign schtick into geopolitics, and for a lot of people who can’t keep up or hold on, it will be a rough ride.
Trump is no longer playing only with evil and cunning players who are still predictable, easily beatable dopes, like Hillary. He is playing against killers, with his own team of killers, and all the while he has scheming creeps like Hillary, BGI, SPLC, and the neocons gunning for him. Snake Ryan ready to bite when nobody is looking. “Warhead” McCain screaming for Russian blood. Psycho Kim and Samoa Obama plotting some kind of intrigue to take him down. And THOSE are the lightweights.
This is the majors now. Trump has to outwit world-class adversaries and “frenemies” by defining the deals that they will agree to. One minute they will think Trump is their friend – the next minute, a cunning, bitter foe. And he has to do this with evil cheerleaders like Warhead, Linderace, Dipsy Dowd, Maggie Haterman, and Fake Yapper trashing him or praising him alternately, no matter which way he goes. They can’t keep up, either.
Neither can many around him. I think that half of the problem with advisers crashing into each other is they don’t realize what Trump is doing.
And people will trash you, and they will trash me. Get used to it. I’ve already caught plenty of people mocking me. Well, just wait a week in Trump time. Look stupid and conned by Trump one minute, and you look like a sage three days later.
Trump will not find perfect solutions. He will find OPTIMAL solutions. We cannot ask for more. Trump has stood by and watched Perfect murder Good for 8 years – maybe longer. He’s not gonna do it. He’s going to deliver the best outcome possible, and he’s not waiting for us to feel relaxed about it.
Best presidency ever! Just hang on. More winning is coming, but a lot of people are going to scream that it’s all over at EVERY turn.
The best way through this is to define viewpoints, not people, because people will shift as they change position and velocity in Trump gravity. Bash the neocon, warmonger, and dopey globalist positions – not the people who are going to hold them one moment and come loose from them later. Trump is Jupiter moving through the asteroid belt. He is going to pull people into his orbit. A few will get slung off into space, but most will come along for the ride of their lives.
I am ON the Trump Train for good, even if I scream that I want off and can’t take it. In the end, I only want to scream “TOO MUCH WINNING!!!”
Wolf’s 2024 Comment
If you are not seeing just how remarkably similar things are right now, to the way they were at the end of 2016 and beginning of 2017, then please re-read the above post ONE MORE TIME. While you do so, think about all that Trump is doing now – before he has even taken office.
Think of what he is preparing to do – that you know about. Think of what he is preparing to do that you DON’T know about. Ask yourself which part of that iceberg is bigger.
Think of how President Trump is going to Make America Great Again – and BEYOND. Far, far beyond.
Trump is literally bringing TITANS into his orbit. And I mean BIG titans.
Stars rapidly orbiting the giant black hole at the center of the Milky Way galaxy.
But Trump doesn’t just care about the physical realm. Consider how Trump is always aligning himself with the forces of good, of love, and of peace in this world.
It was a privilege to host Mrs. Akie Abe at Mar-a-Lago once again. We fondly remembered her late husband, former Prime Minister Abe, and honored his remarkable legacy.

Watch how Trump is skillfully working around corrupted, broken, and ossified government processes. Watch how Trump is dealing with world problems already, despite all the forces, both at home and abroad, which are allied against him.
We are experiencing Trump Gravity in ways that I simply could not have predicted in 2017. Trump is beyond a mere TITAN at this point. He is GARGANTUAN. He is stretching, compressing, and shifting SPACE AND TIME THEMSELVES. And yet – it’s OK.
In God We Trust – as we enjoy this amazing ride in His loving universe.
Live your best life. All around the world the Communist Left and their insufferable foot soldiers are in retreat and crisis mode. Their world is shrinking. They are becoming irrelevant.

Ignore the dark imaginings they attempt to present in their last desperate effort to remain relevant.
Is the Directed Evolution of Variants – Something Deeply Understandable to Joe Biden’s Science Advisors – Being Abused by the Corporate-Government-Academic Axis?
Yeah, you remember that one!
Several hat tips to Sundance on this one, too.
It’s now becoming very clear that the mercenary Bill Gates getting involved with healthcare was one of the LAST things that one could reasonably expect to help it.
We were such chumps.
GRIFTERS GONNA GRIFT.
They don’t “change”. They don’t “turn over a new leaf”. They GRIFT MORE and they GRIFT BIGGER.
Two international vaccine experts can help us to see how we got into the SUSTAINABLE GRIFT of needless vaccines to endlessly mutating viruses, which Bill Gates helped engineer.
Notice that I didn’t say sustainability grift – that’s a different grift, that uses MIRAGES of process sustainability to sell the opposite.
An excellent example of the sustainability grift is wind power, which – when you count all the resource consumption and natural destruction needed to “move lots of matter around with low energy output”, wastes more energy and resources overall, than it produces – and in the long run is NOT actually “sustainable”.
Wind power uses a mirage of overall sustainability which results from hypnosis by the microscopic sustainability of just ONE STAGE in the process, to sell a totality which is not truly sustainable or even efficient. Solar power is very similar. It has its uses, but the mirage they sell is far outside of the truth.
This type of grifting uses a misleading focus on part of the truth to sell a larger untruth, which is how many science grifts work.
Perpetual motion machines are an exemplary grift, and Anthony Fauci’s “antibody hypnosis” is an exemplary misdirection.
No – a sustainable grift (which can include the sustainability grift, cutely) is a grift that maintains itself in perpetuity, provided nobody looks closely. One of the best ways to create such a grift, is to pose a general source of a problem as a solution to it, so that the central problem will NEVER be solved.
This is a form of misleading by REVERSING reality. It’s a CYCLIC grift, that creates a false solution which is really a problem source.
Black Lives Matter(TM) is precisely that kind of sustainable grift.
To solve policing problems, BLM/Soros creates more problems and mischaracterizes them so that they can’t be solved.
BLM(TM), working with Soros DAs and AGs, creates thousands of new criminals of all kinds, at the same time hindering police, in the name of mercy for criminals who are intentionally misportrayed as innocent.
If you can pull it off, this kind of misleading can create monumental, whole-of-society grifts, that in some cases can NEVER be undone.
Climate change / global warming / global freezing are all beautiful GRIFTS of that nature, joined by the principle that “together, we can all do something impossible” – even better if it’s something needless. If the workers of the scam movement get busted, they just change the story – like all criminals do.
“Government will protect you from what it cannot affect.”
Fall for that kind of scam, and you are a SLAVE FOR LIFE.
So where does this go with vaccines?
Bill Gates Takes Over Global Vaccination
Astrid Stuckelberger figured out what was happening to global public health when Bill Gates took control of it, but she figured it out too late.
Let’s just save that image for when Bill Gates’ friends finally take down that article.
Here is the relevant section:
Stuckelberger also underscored that the “WHO is not the same organization as before”. There was a change in 2016, she explained.
“It was special: Organizations such as GAVI – the Global Alliance for Vaccine Immunization led by Bill Gates – they came to WHO in 2006 with funding. Since then, the WHO has developed into a new type of international organization. GAVI gained more and more influence, and total immunity, more than the diplomats in the UN. GAVI can do exactly what they want, the police can do nothing.”
The WHO underwent an audit in 2014 and after that, it became more like a company with countries as its subsidiaries.
“When I worked with international relations in the WHO in 2013, I saw that GAVI came in more and more. GAVI presented a global action plan for vaccination 2012-2020. That is, eight years where GAVI had everything in their hands. Bill Gates handled the vaccination, he took over.”
The WHO wields enormous power over countries, she said. “Before, all countries were free. But now, when I do interviews around the world, I see that each country is part of a ‘WHO company’. WHO is no longer a democratic member organization, like the UN. The various governments form the basis of the ‘enterprise’. It logically agrees with what is happening now, since the ‘companies’ want money, business, and to control people. It’s like slavery. The taxes we pay, they go to governments that are subject to ‘the company’. Under the multinational organizations, such as GAVI.”
“GAVI, the World Bank and the WHO entered into a contract called IFFM: International Facility Finance for Immunization. Our countries, our people, pay to the WHO, the World Bank and GAVI to carry out their immunization programs. Which means vaccinating the entire population. When you see the plan from GAVI, you see that from 2012 to 2020 they have had this as a goal. But then it did not work, they had to create a pandemic.”
She said the pandemic was most certainly planned. ” You can see this from all the documents. Everyone can analyze them, they are in the open, right in front of our eyes.”
GAVI is only ONE of Bill Gates’ “hidden hand” organizations, by which he gets TWO TOP VOTES on any council or advisory board. GAVI allows Bill Gates to control a putative solution – vaccines.
There is another organization called CEPI – Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations – by which Bill Gates controls the PROBLEM for which VACCINES are allegedly the answer.
Note that Bill Gates is controlling both the problem and the solution – and if the solution CAUSES THE PROBLEM, then he has just achieved what he needs as the basis for a cyclic, sustainable grift.
Do you see how CEPI – about epidemics – is only pointing toward one solution – vaccines?
Subtle, but learn to be a grift-catcher, and it just jumps out at you.
Let’s take a closer look at CEPI.
Quite obviously, CEPI was all over Event 201 – although the SPONSORS were slightly different.
See how that works? SELF-DEALING. Gates is an absolute expert at it. He controls VACCINES, and he controls EPIDEMICS. The PROBLEM, and the “SOLUTION” – which, if one tells the big lie just right – can CAUSE THE PROBLEM TO LAST FOREVER.
It’s CYCLIC, and it’s SUSTAINABLE, and it’s the same GRIFT PRINCIPLE as the wrap-up smear, where one hand claims that the other hand is the “news source”.
See how the control arises? Read that bit about CEPI. “Collaboration with regulators”? What do you THINK is going to happen? Same thing. Eventually, it’s all one side, and there are no checks and balances.
Gates is such a sharp operator. SO much sharper than the chumps he fools.
But there is HOPE in THE TRUTH – and Gates’ organization DID produce a TRUTH-TELLER.
Why BAD VACCINES are Worse Than NO VACCINES and Why We Need to STOP MASS-VACCINATION
When I heard a vaccine expert – a veteran of GAVI – namely Geert Vanden Bossche – saying that vaccinating into the pandemic was a BAD IDEA, well THAT is when my ears perked up, WOLF-QUICK.
Take note of the fact that this guy IS NOT and never was the HEAD of GAVI. He was NEVER one of their top clowns. He just worked for them. The head of GAVI can NEVER say anything like this – something that doesn’t back up Bill Gates 100%.
But this guy Vanden Bossche, who worked in vaccines his whole life, including for Bill Gates’ own organization GAVI, has expert knowledge that Bill Gates is pushing the wrong solution in our current situation.
Well, THAT is interesting.
Now – listen to Vanden Bossche talk about VARIANTS and vaccinating CHILDREN, when Gates and “other organizations” (COUGH, COUGH) started pushing THAT.
Remember – this video is JUNE 1, 2021. Everything Geert said has come true with Delta, and it coming true AGAIN with Omicron, as he predicted. This guy understood directed evolution of variants from the very beginning, and how those variants are why we have to STOP VACCINATING.
There are other people – on Biden’s scientific advisory board – who also understand directed evolution of variants. The question is, what are they doing with that knowledge? Are they causing the problem? Or are they even looking at the solution? We’ll get to that later.
Also – just a warning – Geert speaks ANNOYINGLY SLOWLY – but also EXTREMELY CLEARLY.
This is a 10-minute video that takes 35 minutes to get out, but there is NO MISTAKING what he says.
The omicron epidemic is being driven by young, vaccinated people, according to mounting data from countries as diverse as the UK, Denmark and South Africa https://t.co/bTRIBFsCc7
It’s behind a paywall, but this much shows through:
“Data from Denmark shows that just over 70 per cent of omicron cases have been among those younger than 40.”
If you now go back and listen to Geert, starting at around 28 minutes, and from there to the end of the video, you will see that he predicted exactly what is happening – that the disease under pressure of the bad vaccines would mutate and move into the [generally] unvaccinated younger people – AND – and this is important – that VACCINATING THEM WITH THE CURRENT SUB-OPTIMAL VACCINES IS THE EXACT WRONG THING TO DO.
Why?
BECAUSE IT WILL MAKE THINGS EVEN WORSE.
Oh.
And he explains HOW it will be worse. It could be as bad as a Marek’s disease scenario.
This is what people are NOT GETTING – that the current vaccines are NOT GOOD ENOUGH, and that they are CAUSING MORE PROBLEMS THAN THEY SOLVE.
That’s GREAT if you have a GRIFT that depends on the bad vaccines. It’s NOT SO GREAT if you’re somebody who actually cares about SOLVING problems (plural).
You know – like not making a new problem worse than the old one, and covering it up.
NOW – lo and behold – Joe Biden actually has two people advising him, on his board of science and technology advisers, who should care DEEPLY about this problem – if they actually ARE still scientists, and not pawns of industry and government.
Let’s meet them.
The Genetics and Evolution Girls Currently Advising Joe Biden
I kinda stumbled onto this story.
I was over on The National Pulse, looking at a link which ForGodandCountry gave me, when I found ANOTHER story in the sidebar.
This woman is the CEO of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Advising Joe Biden.
FTA:
Dr. Susan Desmond-Hellmann – a member of Pfizer Inc.’s Board of Directors – previously served as the Lead Independent Director at social media giant Facebook. The site has routinely censored posts relating to COVID-19 vaccines, with Pfizer in particular eliciting support from major corporate outlets.
Hellman was appointed to the social media platform’s board in March 2013 and served as it Lead Independent Director from June 2015 until October 30th 2019, shortly before the first reported case of COVID-19.
Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook founder and CEO, said “Sue has been a wonderful and thoughtful voice on the board for six years, and I’m personally grateful to her for everything she has done for this company” in response to her departure.
“I remain positive about Facebook and the mission to give people the power to build community and bring the world closer together. Facebook’s Shareholders require a Board of Directors that is fully engaged and committed to address the critical issues confronting Facebook at this time,” Hellmann explained in reference to her role as the CEO of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
“Unfortunately, increasing demands from my CEO role, my extended family, and my own health make it no longer possible for me to commit the necessary time and energy required to properly serve Facebook and its shareholders,” she added in a public statement despite joining Pfizers board in 2020.
Amidst Hellmann’s tenure on the Pfizer board, Facebook has initiated campaigns to censor COVID-19 vaccine skeptics, as leaked internal documents from the company reveal algorithms aimed at “drastically reduc[ing] user exposure to vaccine hesitancy (VH) in comments.”
Facebook Pfizer Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation Genentech U.C. San. Fran. U.C. Berkeley AIDS research in Uganda Rockefeller Foundation Bristol-Myers Squibb Federal Reserve Bank of San Fran Global Health 2030
She’s behind a data initiative that basically reports individual patient data back to researchers to “accelerate research and learning blah-blah-blah”.
From Wikipedia:
Precision medicine based on Google Maps
In 2011, Desmond-Hellmann co-chaired a National Academy of Sciences committee that recommended creating a Google Maps-like data network aimed at developing more diagnostics and treatments tailored to individual patients — a concept known as “precision medicine”.[12] The so-called “knowledge network” would integrate the wealth of data emerging on the molecular basis of disease with information on environmental factors and patients’ electronic medical records and would allow scientists to share emerging research findings faster, thereby accelerating the development of tailored treatments. It also would allow clinicians to make more informed decisions about treatments, reduce health care costs and ultimately improve care.[13] The NAS report, titled “Toward Precision Medicine: Building a Knowledge Network for Biomedical Research and a New Taxonomy of Disease”, was described by Keith Yamamoto, Vice Chancellor for Research at UCSF, as “the most important National Academy of Sciences Framework Analysis since that advisory body recommended that the United States go forward with the Human Genome Project”.[14]
In 2021, Desmond-Hellmann was appointed by President Joe Biden to the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST), co-chaired by Frances Arnold, Eric Lander and Maria Zuber.
So – as a SIDEBAR – this woman was involved in the “freeing up” of electronic medical information which has basically DESTROYED medical privacy.
Which was GREAT for Democrat trial lawyers, by the way. Just today I got a call from AMBULANCE CHASERS based on a “confidential” diagnosis (nothing bad – don’t worry) that just went into my electronic records a few weeks ago.
I was SHOCKED that these people came on to me. It’s like Obamacare knifing my doctor in the back. The only way they knew, was access to my medical records. It should be absolutely illegal as hell for anybody – much less Democrat ambulance chasers – to know about that rare diagnosis and actually cold-call me to try to stir up a case. But yeah – destroying medical privacy in the name of helping researchers like her – that is just one example – a small example – of how “Inception” by the bad guys works. Find a smart dupe and get them to pimp an idea you need. Maybe even make them THINK they thought of it.
Free up the data with the EXCUSE of the good guys getting it, so that the BAD GUYS can do all kinds of things with it.
I know all about this – about being used as a PROXY to advance an idea because that proxy has respect as a scientist. It’s a nasty game.
Anyway….. [end of sidebar]
I am NOT of the opinion that this woman is as bad as someone like – say – Bill Gates. But I AM of the opinion that she’s very likely a politically correct “reliable board skirt” who always votes the way people are SUPPOSED to vote on board decisions. She’s Bilderberg fodder. She’s SMART and she GETS IT DONE. But she always does the “right thing” – the expected thing – the thing that somebody with more power and more control wants done.
So THIS woman is NEVER going to tell Joe Biden what Bill Gates doesn’t want him to hear.
But if there is any wonder why Joe Biden keeps trying to mandate vaccines, yeah, it’s because one of his science advisors is the CEO of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
Pioneered the use of “pushed” evolution of organisms in the lab to make them useful
Nobel Prize winner
co-chair of Joe Biden’s “board” of science and technology advisors
So what’s up with this “directed evolution”?
From Wikipedia…..
Arnold is credited with pioneering the use of directed evolution to create enzymes (biochemical molecules—often proteins—that catalyze, or speed up, chemical reactions) with improved and/or novel functions.[25] The directed evolution strategy involves iterative rounds of mutagenesis and screening for proteins with improved functions and it has been used to create useful biological systems, including enzymes, metabolic pathways, genetic regulatory circuits, and organisms. In nature, evolution by natural selection can lead to proteins (including enzymes) well-suited to carry out biological tasks, but natural selection can only act on existing sequence variations (mutations) and typically occurs over long time periods.[26] Arnold speeds up the process by introducing mutations in the underlying sequences of proteins; she then tests these mutations’ effects. If a mutation improves the proteins’ function she can keep iterating the process to optimize it further. This strategy has broad implications because it can be used to design proteins for a wide variety of applications.[27] For example, she has used directed evolution to design enzymes that can be used to produce renewable fuels and pharmaceutical compounds with less harm to the environment.[25]
One advantage of directed evolution is that the mutations do not have to be completely random; instead, they can be random enough to discover unexplored potential, but not so random as to be inefficient. The number of possible mutation combinations is astronomical, but instead of just randomly trying to test as many as possible, she integrates her knowledge of biochemistry to narrow down the options, focusing on introducing mutations in areas of the protein that are likely to have the most positive effect on activity and avoiding areas in which mutations would likely be, at best, neutral and at worst, detrimental (such as disrupting proper protein folding).[25]
So – there you have it – “mutagenesis and screening“. In a way, it’s still just breeding horses or labradoodles, but much more technical and scientific.
If you suddenly think that, “Hey, this sounds a lot like what Fauci, Baric, Daszak and Bat Lady were doing” – you know – gain of function – well, that’s precisely it.
And think about this.
The SPIKE PROTEIN is a protein just like an ENZYME is protein. The only difference there, is that FAUCI and his gang were controlling the “directed evolution” of viruses making proteins toward whatever goals THEY thought useful, whereas Arnold was controlling the “directed evolution” of bacteria making proteins toward whatever goals SHE thought useful.
I remember when Arnold’s work was frequently showcased in Chemical & Engineering News. Yeah, a lot of it was feminist championing of a woman scientist by the C&EN media leftoids – BUT the fact is that Arnold’s work was very interesting stuff, and her interests and abilities always struck me as authentic – that she was NOT a “manufactured” science celebrity. She was showcased more than created.
One can argue about whether she deserved to be Beast-marked by the Dynamite Prize or not. Doesn’t really matter. To borrow from Trump, “Knowledge is the prize.”
In principle, this lady is capable of understanding and RESPECTING Geert Vanden Bossche’s arguments. If she’s going to disagree with him HONESTLY, then it will be for good reasons.
But that’s not the end of the story.
Let’s talk mutagenesis.
Remdesivir and Molnupiravir as Mutagens
Now I’m not saying that ALL of these new COVID drugs are human mutagens or teratogens. In fact, most likely, NONE of them are. The Pfizer drug is not a mutagen as far as I know – but then that drug is actually a binary drug, and one of THOSE two drugs is an established AIDS drug, which is quite fishy in light of VAIDS.
What I am saying is that TWO of these drugs are PROVEN viral mutagens.
Sorta like that critical step in Frances Arnold’s work.
So are we trying to ACCELERATE the appearance of variants? Are we consciously trying to CHANGE how or how fast they vary? Is SOMEBODY consciously trying to change how or how fast they vary?
Here is where I talked about the apparent public health contradiction of using drugs like molnupiravir and remdesivir on a virus which mutates into “variants of concern” before:
Why would we mass treat a virus with a drug which forces the virus to mutate, when mutation is how the virus creates new variants that reinfect the vaccinated? Before I explain the title contradiction, let me start with an admission. Most of my life, I have been very friendly with the pharmaceutical industry. I …
In that blog post, I explained that (1) remdesivir has been PROVEN to “push” SARS-CoV-2 toward evolution of variants, including “variants of concern”, and (2) molnupiravir works on the principle of “mutation catastrophe” in the SARS-CoV-2 reproductive process, so it likely does the same thing even more.
So are we “doing the Arnold” or what?
I will leave that up to others to answer.
Let me close instead with one more great article which summarizes where we are.
It’s Vanden Bossche without Vanden Bossche.
Eugyppius & The Conservation of Corona
If you have not found this anonymous German dude’s substack account, you need to be watching it. It’s almost better than Alex Berenson’s account, which is a pretty hard thing to do.
Among several great posts, this one is critical.
Let me just quote the first few paragraphs.
FTA:
The ascendancy of more transmissible (and possibly also more pathogenic) Delta strains is a consequence of the worldwide vaccination campaign. This is now the most salient and the most important side-effect of our vaccines. They elicit antibodies that select for more aggressive SARS-2 lineages, which escape vaccine-induced immunity by replicating in the lungs of infected people faster and earlier.
All our evidence is that the alpha (Kent) and delta (Indian) lineages emerged at the same time, in September or October 2020. Delta was more aggressive than alpha, but alpha had the upper hand until vaccines killed it off. Probably, Delta is too aggressive in completely unvaccinated populations, causing severe illness before very many of its hosts can do much spreading.
Consider the entirely typical case of my country, Germany. Most first doses here were administered over the course of nine weeks, from early April to early July. In precisely this period, Delta began its rise to absolute dominance. The genetic diversity of SARS-2 has been totally destroyed in Germany and everywhere else too.
What you see happening to Alpha in this chart, is what the vaccines were supposed to do to Corona as a whole. But then it was Corona’s move, and Delta is the hand it played.
Nothing about how the pandemic plays out now can be disentangled from the vaccines. The more aggressive spread of Delta among the unvaccinated is as much a part of this campaign, as its continued spread among the vaccinated. We have totally changed the environment in which SARS-2 circulates, and in response SARS-2 has become more transmissible and more volatile across the board.
This is another Wolf “please bear with me” post, so please bear with me! Break out the damn wine glass, if you must! Heck – I think I may just do it now…..
What I’m trying to say here doesn’t really lend itself to logic. It doesn’t even lend itself to WORDS. It’s more like a FEELING. It’s the way CHICKS THINK (you know, like CHICK FLICKS). But I think it’s important, and it all centers around a comment I made – a comment about TRUMP that Alison wanted me to share with the whole gang.
There is MORE that I wanted to say than just that comment, however, and I found how to say it in ANOTHER comment that I made to Daughn, where I didn’t actually SAY anything, but I kind of “shared our probable similar feelings about Italy” with a picture. Alison noticed THAT comment, too, so I knew I was on the right path. Logic? Yes and no. A kind of LOGIC OF FEELINGS and a FEELING OF LOGIC.
I kinda hate the way the logo and tagline show up on that picture of Diane Lane from the film “Under The Tuscan Sun” – so let’s have it again here, one more time.
THERE – that’s more like it!
That LOOK on her face – kinda smilin’ – studying that bottle – maybe – or does she see some romantic Italian dude walking up to her? Or is it some comic relief neighbor in one more formulaic situation that – AW SHUCKS, WHATEVER! WE LOVE IT!!! TOO MUCH WINNING!!!
It’s kinda funny – this picture reminds me of Daughn – I can say that now – because Daughn responded to the picture like this, when I posted it in relation to her Open Thread, where she talked about looking at properties in Italy.
Can’t believe you put her picture up. First time I went [to Italy], freshly divorced, was the summer that movie came out. Dumb girlfriends thought I wrote it, bizarre.
I’ll skip – for now – my romantic memories of Italy, with my wife, at about the very same time. But yes – Italy is a wonderful place, and that movie just hooks right into that feeling.
I love that I can just take some image out of a movie and it SAYS SO MUCH – in particular to one person who – for reasons which border on nothing but pure intuitions – just seemed like the RIGHT recipient.
Some people might call it synchronicity – others might see it more spiritually. Some might try to deconstruct it psychologically – others might build on it until they have a mystical religious experience.
MY point is gonna be, however, that AS Q SAYS…..

Now Q is talking about memes – IN MY HUMBLE OPINION – on multiple levels. Q is getting us used to double meanings, and triple meanings, and saying things with STYLE again, because – IN MY HUMBLE OPINION – that is part of MATURITY. And we are TIRED of being DUMBED DOWN and treated like CHILDREN, which the DEMS and the CABAL have been doing for DECADES.
It’s time to WAKE UP!
So when a PICTURE can tell a thousand words – LET IT. If I can respond to Daughn with a picture that says “HEY DAUGHN! – I KNOW WHAT YOU’RE THINKING! – NUDGE, NUDGE!” – well – why not?
SIDETRACK / SHORTCUT / DODGE INTO THIS HERE ALLEY so we get to the REAL VATICAN faster…..
What would you say if I told you that “transhumanism” isn’t THEIR thing – it’s OUR thing?
You’ve READ your Bibles, I take it. Right? Remember the “TRANSfiguration” and other SPOOKY THINGS – right? Well, just BEAR IN MIND that God has stuff planned. FOR OUR GOOD. So sometimes we have to REMIND OURSELVES that it’s sometimes SCARY but EXCITING – kinda like a roller coaster….
I am FREQUENTLY led back to an impression that God has plans for us – for growth and maturity – and that there are OTHERS who want to KEEP US OFF THE ROLLER COASTER.
You seein’ what I’m sayin’?
When I talk about SOFTWARE SUPREMACY, I’m also talking about HARDWARE INFERIORITY. This parallels a lot of spiritual stuff. We can DO THINGS with hardware, but understanding
WHAT TO DO
WHY TO DO IT
WHAT NOT TO DO
WHY NOT TO DO IT
That is all part of software supremacy as well.
THEY try to keep us focused on HARDWARE – stuff like RACE and SEX and LIFE EXTENSION and IMPLANTS and TRANS-SEXUALISM.
Yet WE are served by focusing on SOFTWARE – stuff like EDUCATION and MORALITY and SPIRITUALITY and PRINCIPLES. And in my opinion, it’s because we are looking up the ladder to GOD when we do.
But whether we’re talking about HARDWARE or SOFTWARE – at some point we have to talk about COMMUNICATION.
Communication is the big deal. It’s what we do here.
Have any of you ever felt like we just can’t share our thoughts FAST ENOUGH?
I’m just going to leave that RIGHT THERE. I have no solutions, answers, or speculations that are worth sharing – nothing worth any more than YOUR OWN THOUGHTS.
That idea of “leaving it as a question” is so “Q”. I totally get Q on this now. Q asks questions, and when Q is asking questions, there is WAY MORE TRANSMISSION.
As a sidebar to that, it is my HOPE that Q begins to ask more questions. Because that means more good stuff is being shared.
So this stuff is what I’m meandering about. I’m talking about where WORDS FAIL.
NOW – LET ME BLOW YOUR MINDS – by linking THAT idea from this DAUGHN comment back to the comment that ALISON wanted me to share.
I will do it in two parts, which I present as two questions. The first is the part Alison wanted me to share. The second is what Daughn’s comment about that meme made me realize, which wraps the first and proves it, in a somewhat mind-blowing way.
(1) Just how smart is our VSG?
(2) What is going on here with our thinking and communicating?
If I was Trump, I’d turn the question back on the Fake News for bonus points!!!
“I don’t know, maybe we should ask THEM [motions with hand toward the questioner’s fellow fake news compatriots] first. They’re supposed to be the news. They’re supposed to know this. So who is Q? Has anybody investigated? He’s that conspiracy theory that was right about The Hoax – right? That’s better than the fake news. I think only a couple of networks got that right. OAN and somebody else. Ask them! Who is this Q? Whoever he is, he got The Hoax right. Maybe he’s real. Maybe I know who he is, too.”
And I have to say, just having a single thought ABOUT the mind of Trump – even more something from within the mind of Trump – is a blessing and a privilege!
I was fortunate in some ways to cross over from Ted Cruz to Trump, because I had to really work to try to understand Trump. I also had an “escalator” friend who is a very smart guy, and I was surprised by his choice of Trump, even more so because it was so early. He had never said a word about Trump before, either. Totally out of the blue. That is when I started to consider Trump possible. I could not dismiss Trump. Then my WIFE went for Trump, and I began to think I’d better listen to those ads that convinced her.
Sundance really got me to consider Trump seriously, but I refused to just jump from Cruz – I needed convincing. But my post history over on CTH reflects that journey of understanding.
Eventually I had to accept that Trump is simply smarter than me, because everything he did made sense upon reflection and study. And the more that happened, the more I realized something else that was really shocking.
I worked at a really interesting place with a lot of very smart people. We had been blessed with a long string of extremely smart, “Trumpian” leaders. But there was a point where I realized – and nobody would believe this, but I would tell them anyway – “Trump is smarter than all of us put together. This whole damn place!”
I still stand by that. Just some of the algorithms that I *suspect* Trump is using, without even breaking a sweat, are beyond me, or the people I’ve worked with!!!
We would be idiots not to re-elect Trump! Idiots! I can only appeal to God himself to help us and bless us, undeserving, with Trump’s continued leadership!
Now before I go on to the next question, I need to elaborate this in several ways.
FIRST, remember what Thomas Wictor said – that Trump is one of the most revolutionary Presidents that this nation has ever had. I agree with this idea deeply and without reservation.
SECOND, remember that Trump is changing America in profound ways, but perhaps the MOST profound is to appoint judges who adhere to the Constitution and its proper interpretation and design – people who RESPECT the design of the Founders.
THIRD, remember that what Trump is doing in the case of these judges is appointing people who are among THE BEST at what they do – and not even people who necessarily LIKE Trump. Trump is EMPOWERING OTHER PEOPLE TO FIX AMERICA, AND THE WORLD.
FOURTH, remember that this particular fix is a radically expansive change. Trump is asymmetrically fixing things in the judiciary, with the aid of Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. Think about that. It’s exponential. It’s YUGE.
Now we’re ready to go on.
What is going on here with our thinking and communicating?
Here is the mind-blower.
Trump has CHANGED all of us. All of US have been TRANSFORMED by Trump. Every individual here. How we talk – how we communicate – how we relate – HOW WE THINK. Some of which I predict will have massive effects on the future.
ALL of that has been changed by Trump.
Changed. Every one of us. Changed. Our group. CHANGED. Our expectations for the future. CHANGED. What we even think is even POSSIBLE in the future.
CHANGED. ALL OF IT.
Now multiply that all across MAGA, and then around the world.
AND YET.
ALL of THAT CHANGE IN OUR THINKING – is just ONE of the changes which Trump has made.
One change. Just one. Just like all that judiciary change is one change. Just one.
I mean, within that one change, namely what we think, then what we think about ONE THING – tariffs – has changed, but that change in our thinking is ATOM-SCALE MICRO-POTATOES next to TARIFFS themselves and the ACTUAL changes in those.
Now multiply that across all Trump changes domestic, and then around the world.
Do you see how BIG the “Trump Effect” has gotten?
When I was in Italy, I was not in Tuscany, which actually would have been damn nice. Nope. My primary reason for being there was to support my wife’s interest in Roman history. IN ROME. And I learned a LOT.
Roman history is BIG. It’s EXPANSIVE. It’s YUGE.
AND YET.
Yeah. Think about it. The changes NOW are astronomically BIGGER.
We are basically through THREE years of Trump – limited somewhat by THE HOAX and by Fake Impeachment. What’s going to happen in FIVE MORE years, without all that obstructive CRAP?
This THANKFUL NOVEMBER [1126] Q’PER 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 / KAG! / KMAG world (KMAG being a bit of both MAGA and KAG!).
You can say what you want, comment on what other people said, and so on.
Free Speech is practiced here. ENJOY IT. Use it or lose it.
However, we have a new policy. Starting 20191110. Keep it SOMEWHAT civil.
We have a new board – actually a new SITE – called The U Tree – where people can take each other to the woodshed without fear of censorship or moderation. NOT HERE.
This board will remain a REFUGE for those who need civility, either some or all of the time.
Our rules began with the civility of the Old Treehouse, later to become the Wolverinian Empire, and one might say that we have RESTORED THE OLD REPUBLIC – the early high-interaction model of the Treehouse – except of course that Q discussion is not only allowed but encouraged, and speech is considerably freer in other ways. Please feel free to argue and disagree with the board owner, as nicely as possible.
Please also consider the Important Guidelines, outlined here in the January 1st open thread. Let’s not give the odious Internet Censors a reason to shut down this precious haven.

SPEAK THE FIVE WORDS BOLDLY TO OUR PRESIDENT!
“I AM PRAYING FOR YOU!“
AND WHAT TIME IS IT?
TIME TO….
DRAIN THE SWAMP
Our movement
Is about replacing
A failed
And CORRUPT
Political establishment
With a new government controlled
By you, the American People.
Candidate Donald J. Trump
Also remember Wheatie’s Rules:
No food fights.
No running with scissors.
If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone.
Wolf here, with words of STEADFASTNESS, THANKFULNESS, and JOY IN THE LORD.
“I far prefer to have strong and God-fearing leadership in the roughest of times, than to have weak, feckless and corrupt leadership in the easiest of times.”
“The best way to insure our future under the steadfast leadership of President Trump, is simply to THANK GOD RIGHT NOW for these PAST THREE YEARS with which we have been blessed.”
“If you’re worried that Trump causes too much controversy with the insane Democrat media, let me horrify you with the thought of the world where he doesn’t.”
“Too much controversy would be a sign of too much winning. I am relying on the expert on winning – President Trump – to let us know when either of these occurs.”
“It’s a simple question. Do you trust God? Good! Then HANG ON!”
There is a metaphor I have consistently used to explain both Candidate Trump and President Trump – the idea of Trump gravity. I found that it was possible to explain much of the movement of voters during the primaries by likening Trump to the planet Jupiter, albeit with both a strange gravity and an extremely dynamic trajectory.

Well, I don’t really have to do any holding together, now that I figured out what Trump is up to. He is shaking things out, but counting on Trump gravity to pull things back together as he moves along. He is moving “forward” at speeds Obama could not even dream of.
You and I will be anti-Trump trolls one day and MAGA heroes the next. Get used to it. Trump speed is the new normal. Some will call it flip-flopping, but that’s not what it is. Trump is dodging and weaving through reality faster than the reality can react to disrupt his plans.
I was explaining this to my wife. This is a roller-coaster now. Trump is no longer waiting for people to keep up. He is taking his bewildering art-of-the-deal campaign schtick into geopolitics, and for a lot of people who can’t keep up or hold on, it will be a rough ride.
Trump is no longer playing only with evil and cunning players who are still predictable, easily beatable dopes, like Hillary. He is playing against killers, with his own team of killers, and all the while he has scheming creeps like Hillary, BGI, SPLC, and the neocons gunning for him. Snake Ryan ready to bite when nobody is looking. “Warhead” McCain screaming for Russian blood. Psycho Kim and Samoa Obama plotting some kind of intrigue to take him down. And THOSE are the lightweights.
This is the majors now. Trump has to outwit world-class adversaries and “frenemies” by defining the deals that they will agree to. One minute they will think Trump is their friend – the next minute, a cunning, bitter foe. And he has to do this with evil cheerleaders like Warhead, Linderace, Dipsy Dowd, Maggie Haterman, and Fake Yapper trashing him or praising him alternately, no matter which way he goes. They can’t keep up, either.
Neither can many around him. I think that half of the problem with advisers crashing into each other is they don’t realize what Trump is doing.
And people will trash you, and they will trash me. Get used to it. I’ve already caught plenty of people mocking me. Well, just wait a week in Trump time. Look stupid and conned by Trump one minute, and you look like a sage three days later.
Trump will not find perfect solutions. He will find OPTIMAL solutions. We cannot ask for more. Trump has stood by and watched Perfect murder Good for 8 years – maybe longer. He’s not gonna do it. He’s going to deliver the best outcome possible, and he’s not waiting for us to feel relaxed about it.
Best presidency ever! Just hang on. More winning is coming, but a lot of people are going to scream that it’s all over at EVERY turn.
The best way through this is to define viewpoints, not people, because people will shift as they change position and velocity in Trump gravity. Bash the neocon, warmonger, and dopey globalist positions – not the people who are going to hold them one moment and come loose from them later. Trump is Jupiter moving through the asteroid belt. He is going to pull people into his orbit. A few will get slung off into space, but most will come along for the ride of their lives.
I am ON the Trump Train for good, even if I scream that I want off and can’t take it. In the end, I only want to scream “TOO MUCH WINNING!!!”
This strikes home for me, because it really tells the tale of how I ended up over at CTH, as a TRUMP SUPPORTER seeking shelter at a TRUMP BASTION, before we all came here with Q.
I was all over Disqus and Breitbart for years, under Obama. I knew that we HAD to STOP the Obama insanity, soon to become Hillary insanity, in 2016, or we were in real trouble. And I was absolutely unsure WHICH Republican presidential hopeful was the one to END the Prog-Nazi insanity that we were all slowly marching toward.
I was probably behind EVERY one of the GOP presidential hopefuls for at least 30 minutes, some for 30 hours, and a few for 30 days or more. Significant among them:
Rand Paul
Ted Cruz
Ben Carson
John Kasich
I even had a few flirtations with Carly Fiorina until learning about her strong CIA associations, and “feelings” toward Marco Rubio, until I realized that he was being strongly manipulated by others (neocon pool-boy). I tried to talk myself into “acceptance” of Jeb Bush a few times, as a feasibility test, and I learned to love Chris Christie as he warmed up to Trump.
However, it was TRUMP who stole my affections from the four listed above, and from TED CRUZ most of all. TED actually stayed on top of my list for quite a while, until Trump came along. Indeed, speaking up nicely but a bit too strongly for TRUMP got me kicked off of The Right Scoop. Imagine that.
Ultimately, I agree with Sundance – only Trump had the special street smarts to get past the cunning communists.
ANYWAY….
We have all been through a lot of fascinating shared history with Trump. But I think it’s time for me to quote myself on this, for the very first time:
Get used to it. Trump speed is the new normal. Some will call it flip-flopping, but that’s not what it is. Trump is dodging and weaving through reality faster than the reality can react to disrupt his plans.
