“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.

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).
This week, we begin a new half-year of Monday posts.
I am returning the post format to “Wheatie-style brevity” while sometimes adding short topics or notifications.
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).
For your enjoyment, some epic heroic orchestral music in Wheatie’s favorite style.
I will soon be publishing a statement on the end of Affirmative Action in university admissions. I thought that I might include that statement with this open thread, but I wish to do a better job and not rush it into print. Please bear with me.
Thank you, and God bless you all! -W
ENJOY THE SHOW
Have a great week!

Thanks to Valerie for this and other images.
PS – may you have a very, very patriotic Fourth of July!
Red meat and red wine this day. I suggest a ruby swirl of a good French Pinot Noir to go with the veritable flood of information we are seeing. Cistercian monks cultivated the pinot noir grape, which truly is the King of Burgundy wines. A little history at the link.
That said, there are a plethora of crappy pinot noirs out there. I tend toward the French ones because they’ve been at it so much longer. However, one of the best pinot noir wines I ever tasted was in upstate New York while on a wine tour. It was glorious and memorable. Alas, I can’t remember which winery it was. It was quite the tour that day.
Now, on to the red meat.
The fake media is hanging on by their nails. It won’t be long now. The satisfaction of gnawing on the bones of their collective carcass will be delightful. I like to come at it from a clinical point of view and watch the various personalities as they react to events. Morning Joe feels the Patriot Wolf Pack breathing down his neck. His rage and fear was palpable as he gnashed his teeth at Rand Paul. It begins around 3 minutes and 50 seconds in:

It’s delicious, really.
President Trump’s pack is running down every cheater, every criminal, evil algorithm, and fraudulent ballot. The evidence is at biblical flood proportions now. There will soon come a moment when the media propagandists cannot hold back the truth. Let us begin with The Navarro Report.
This report must be read and MOST IMPORTANTLY, SHARED. The Great Election Steal of 2020 is detailed here. Peter Navarro is another patriot who will be known to history as a hero. Gnaw on this truth from the executive summary of the Report:
“The failure to aggressively and fully investigate the six dimensions of election irregularities assessed in this report is a signal failure not just of our anti-Trump mainstream media and censoring social media but also of both our legislative and judicial branches.” (my bolds).
Again, this is a must read and a must share. It’s about 34 pages of everything you need to know about the steal and is extremely helpful to share with low information folks and fence sitters. Easy to download PDF.
Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, John Roberts, has the Patriot Pack after him. They are sniffing around for any possible dirty deeds in his closet and they seem to be closing in. Can you smell the fear, my fine friends?
I am very disappointed in the United States Supreme Court, and so is our great country!
Yes! Let government fear us so that there will be liberty again in our land!
And, let us give a HOWL OUT to Lin Wood, that magnificent specimen of American manhood. Next to our President, is he not unmatched with his powerful tweets?
On behalf of We The People, I urge @realDonaldTrump to exercise his executive power to direct US Marshals to impound voting machines used in 11/3 election.
We The People only ask to receive what we deserve: the knowledge that our cherished right to vote was not stolen from us. https://t.co/uBGS9OGuOh
The Supreme Court of the United States is being humiliated. That august institution is in free fall. AS IT SHOULD BE. I am out of patience with these compromised, collaborating, cowardly pieces of offal who run our nation at the behest of anyone but US citizens.
A bit of business. We stick together as a pack. Let us stop and give paws to our esteem for one another and never stick a rhetorical fang in when a tongue-licking will do. Information drops and events are happening so fast that I can’t keep up to even post in a timely manner. I will leave that to all you wonderful Qtreepers who keep this website going through information sharing, wise and sage comments, and just all-around canineraderie. This really is the best tree home ever.
If you are in the mood to bare your fangs, head over to the UTree.
Rules here if you need a refresher or are new. I must say the pub bouncers have been caught swilling beer and playing darts at the back of the bar because they have so little to do.
Well, it looks like the MO (military option) is a distinct possibility. Here’s the Insurrection Act, 1807.
Short and sweet.
[I]n all cases of insurrection, or obstruction to the laws, either of the United States, or of any individual state or territory, where it is lawful for the President of the United States to call forth the militia for the purpose of suppressing such insurrection, or of causing the laws to be duly executed, it shall be lawful for him to employ, for the same purposes, such part of the land or naval force of the United States, as shall be judged necessary, having first observed all the pre-requisites of the law in that respect.
Insurrection Act of 1807, ch. 39, 2 Stat. 443, 443
And here’s President Trump’s EO13848, detailing “certain sanctions” for foreign interference in our elections.
Not fun, but at this point the surgeon needs to wound in order to heal, eh?
Be prepared. You know the drill. Plenty of food, water, fuel, puzzles, books, DVDs, etc. Always have your ID on you, and obey any curfews. Here’s hoping it will be a partial and mostly geographical-based moment in our history.
If you want to know what Martial Law is like, talk to a soldier who has imposed it. It truly is the suspension of civil law. The military will be in control. There may be checkpoints. Concealed carry licenses will probably be suspended. Search and seizure and confiscating of weapons. There may be some low-level military personnel who get a god-complex. People may be arrested without reasonable suspicion. Curfews. Looting and other forms of civil disobedience will still occur.
In short, Martial Law may be great in some areas, and hell in others. Be prepared to stick it out at home if at all possible.
I hope California is the first captive freed when the dam breaks:
California has an extreme lockdown and a mask mandate. California had 52,000 new cases of COVID today. That’s what the whole country averaged daily in October. Forced lockdowns & masking are a total failure. It was always about control of people, not control of a virus.

By the way, prayers should continue to go up for Sidney. Spiritual attacks are a bitch. She is probably sustaining incoming hits like few others, and holding her up in prayer does help. God and His angels are so much more powerful than the demons.
Now for a bit of levity. The Brits have the best sense of humor on the planet, even during the Covid tyranny. Enjoy!
Speaking of the Covid, it is now dawning on people that the MASKS HAVE TO COME OFF. We simply cannot comply. I have been turned away from places of business for not wearing one. I go, but I don’t go quietly. Here’s an interesting video that purports to show the result of a) wearing a mask too long and b) having just been vaccinated:
Peter “the demon” Stzrok is back in the news. Would love to claw that smirk off his face:

We are getting closer to a decision from the Supreme Court on the pending original jurisdiction matter of the State of Texas v. Commonwealth of Pennsylvania et al. The first important hurdle that must be crossed is whether the Supreme Court agrees to hear the case under the authority of Original Jurisdiction.
The next several days might prove to be highly revealing, following today December 8th. Examine some steps in sequence, which reveal the concept of Original Jurisdiction. Within the concept, the Supreme Court could likely preside over the election results, or guide its final determination.
[…] Next comes the ingenious part, calling into usage the principle of Original Jurisdiction. It kicks into gear when two or more states are locked in a dispute, whereby the Supreme Court has original jurisdiction to gather and hear evidence much like a trial court.
If that threshold is met, the Supreme Court will hear the case and rule on it.
Our President has moved to Intervene in the Texas Supreme Court Case.
Then Arizona’s AG issued a controversial statement, along with its announcement that it would likely file an amicus brief if SCOTUS took up Texas’s case.
Let’s take a look at the justices that will determine the fate of our country and our President. I am REALLY excited by the fact that 3 of them worked to support GWB when his case went before the Supreme Court in 2000.
[…] Roberts flew to Florida in November 2000 to assist Bush’s legal team. He helped prepare the lawyer who presented Bush’s case to the Florida state Supreme Court and offered advice throughout.
Justice Brett Kavanaugh
He was also in private practice in 2000 and helped the Bush legal team. He wrote on a 2018 Senate questionnaire that his work related to recounts in Volusia County, Florida.
Judge Amy Coney Barrett
Barrett wrote on the questionnaire she submitted to the Senate for her Supreme Court confirmation review, “One significant case on which I provided research and briefing assistance was Bush v. Gore.” She said the law firm where she was working at the time represented Bush and that she had gone down to Florida “for about a week at the outset of the litigation” when the dispute was in the Florida courts.
On the bench
Justice Clarence Thomas
He is the only remaining member of the five-justice majority that resolved Bush v. Gore. Thomas joined the unsigned opinion that said Florida had run out of time to recount disputed ballots without violating the constitutional guarantee of equal protection.
Other conservative justices
Justice Samuel Alito
[…] Pressed on what he thought of the outcome, Alito begged off, saying, “I have not studied it in the way I would study the issue if it were to come before me as a judge and that would require putting out of my mind any personal thoughts that I had on the matter.”
Justice Neil Gorsuch
Like Kavanaugh, he worked in the George W. Bush administration and was appointed by Bush to a federal appeals court.
When then-Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley, an Iowa Republican, asked Gorsuch about Bush v. Gore, he responded, “I know some people in this room have some opinions on that, I am sure, Senator. But as a judge, it is precedent of the US Supreme Court, and it deserves the same respect as other precedents of the US Supreme Court when you are coming to it as a judge.”
Our President is absolutely right!
We will soon be learning about the word “courage”, and saving our Country. I received hundreds of thousands of legal votes more, in all of the Swing States, than did my opponent. ALL Data taken after the vote says that it was impossible for me to lose, unless FIXED!
Chief Justice Roberts’ cannot be counted on! We have seen to many instances where he was the swing vote against our President.
Justice Alito and Thomas are no brainers in my opinion. I LOVE the fact that Justice Kavanaugh and Barrett worked as part of GWB’s legal team in 2000.
The wildcard for me is Justice Gorsuch. I believe in my heart that he wouldn’t screw over our President and our country. He was the first justice appointed by our President.
Over the next week or so, we will know the final outcome.
God bless the State of Texas and AG Paxton. What he has just done gives us every chance to save our Republic and our country. Keep in mind that there are only a few instances where a party can file a direct lawsuit with the U.S. Supreme Court, a state claiming harm by another state is one of those instances.
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has filed a lawsuit [pdf here] with the Supreme Court seeking and emergency injunction against Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Georgia “from taking action to certify presidential electors or to have such electors take any official action including without limitation participating in the electoral college.”
AG Paxton argues that arbitrary changes made by the state’s governors, secretaries of states and election supervisors were “inconsistent with relevant state laws and were made by non-legislative entities, without any consent by the state legislatures. The acts of these officials thus directly violated the Constitution.”
The lawsuit states: “these non-legislative changes … facilitated the casting and counting of ballots in violation of state law, which, in turn, violated the Electors Clause of Article II, Section 1, Clause 2 of the U.S. Constitution.” […] “By these unlawful acts, the Defendant States have not only tainted the integrity of their own citizens vote, but their actions have also debased the votes of citizens in Plaintiff State and other States that remained loyal to the Constitution.”
Paxton notes the intent of the states may have been changes in good faith, due to COVID-19 mitigation efforts; however, the end result of the changes is in direct violation to the Constitution and therefore creates the harm.
“Certain officials in the Defendant States presented the pandemic as the justification for ignoring state laws regarding absentee and mail-in voting.” […] “The Defendant States flooded their citizenry with tens of millions of ballot applications and ballots in derogation of statutory controls as to how they are lawfully received, evaluated, and counted. Whether well intentioned or not, these unconstitutional acts had the same uniform effect they made the 2020 election less secure in the Defendant States.”
This is absolutely brilliant!
Here is an excellent thread by Roscoe B. Davis explaining what this entails and what the outcome will be once 5 justices rule in favor of the injunction.
This is for all the marbles! This determines whether we are a country of laws or not. Whether our Constitution lives on or dies.
The lawsuit filed by Texas against other states as a matter of original jurisdiction at the Supreme Court is a critical case, aiming to defend the Constitution against violations of the law by other states and protect the integrity of our elections. https://t.co/715mzHfv5z
God bless the AG of Arkansas as well as the other 5 AGs that joined AG Paxton.
After reviewing the motion filed by Texas in the U.S. Supreme Court, I have determined that I will support the motion in all legally appropriate manners. The integrity of our elections is a critical part of our nation and it must be upheld. https://t.co/NesQz2wVV9pic.twitter.com/imSokVlq79
The MSM, Democrats, Leftists, Never Trumpers, RINOS etc. are continuing to try and gaslight the country. They can take their safe harbor deadline and wipe their asses with it!
And thank God for Ken Paxton, the Texas AG who has put together one barnburner of an election case.
Here are the very brief details on the case:
Paxton believes that he can use “Article II” to take his lawsuits against PA, WI, GA, and MI straight to the SCOTUS, bypassing the lower courts totally.
And he’s putting it to the test. He filed a lawsuit at around midnight last night, arguing that PA, WI, GA, and MI violated the Electors Clause of the Constitution because they made changes to voting rules and procedures through the courts or through executive actions, but not through the state legislatures.
In other words, they bypassed Republican legislatures to do their little workarounds with mail-in ballots and registrations, etc.
That goes against the Constitution. All of those changes had to be made via the state legislatures and they were not.
Here’s a great video from a lawyer that explains the suit in detail:
