Archive everything. Especially what TEXOKIE posts.
The turtle has continued delivering on judges ... in blocks!
On the first day of Christmas!!!!!!!!!!!
Just thinking outside the box:
Main protagonists are California Dems .....
1. Energy - POTUS declares energy emegency and goes to nationwide two grade fuel formulation, no more custom fuels by city or state = sub $1.50 gal gas?
2. Cancel ethanol requirements under same emegency. Fuel costs continue to drop....
3. Farmers initially not happy with loss of revenue for forced ethanol purchases, yet China trade deal creates larger market for food corn as well as cheaper food supplements for meat farmers resulting in increased profits in the farm sector and less expensive food for the table.
4. Forest management guidelines emergency to stop and prevent dangerous management practices contributing to Cali wildfires, there are mational treasures at risk as well as gross water mismanagement, energy mismanagement, etc. As California goes so goes the nation.
5. Federal Emergency nationwide emissions/mileage standards for auto manufacturers to stop Cali standards from artificially raising the price of new cars for across the nation. Some say $5000-8000 per auto to cover the outrageous costs of Cali standards.
These are things POTUS can do from the office of the President, California governanance itself presents a Clear and Present danger to the people of all the states of America including legal citizens living in California.
POTUS knows these things, politicians in Cali know these things as well. POTUS is about to destroy their golden idols! The state of California is unrecognizeable today when compared to the California I lived in in the early seventies. What was the picture of the American Dream is now the Great American Nightmare.
Those responsible for the evils we see most clearly in Cali and exported to other border states and dem strongholds are in the fight of their lives with POTUS but they fail to recognize they are in a losing battle with The Great I Am! God has a plan, hopefully we see justice in this life, but this evil will be dealt with before God, or at His discretion with an earthly judge.
Let us pray that we would see our and healed so our children and grandchildren are able to live in a nation governed by Justice and Righteousness before God.
MAGA! WWG1WGA!
Our nation. Amen. However regarding #3. No China deal until after next election not for Christmas this year. Trump will have more flexabilty (lol) then and China will have changed direction politically by then.
Hah. Can't remember the last time I wore a cloth tie. When I do it's a double-windsor. Haven't worn a suit much either in the past few years. But by golly, my suits are high quality and tailored. If I'm going to wear that, I'll look good.
I miss the days before I was born when men wore suits and hats. Sure looks good in the black and white movies I watch. Now, tell us about your MAGA tie...
“Now, tell us about your MAGA tie...”
There are 45×17 reasons I should not tell you abou my MAGA tie.
You mean like a bad lawyers wife? Never heard of that before.
What kind of tie is not cloth? Don’t tell me you are giving fashion advice when you wear a bolo?
Baby, we were told that you were without power by the Not-humble guy.
THIS is your first post after getting juice?!?
Weak.
How about some Creedence singing about rain? (2:41)

Why did a US law firm do work for a Ukrainian corrupt gas company?

It was definitely a nest of vipers!
It comes to mind that we should not be forgetting the ties Podesta and Manafort AND GREG CRAIG had to lobbying in the Ukrain.
From the Greg Craig wiki page which I captured sometime around the time he lawyered up in Sept of 2018:
“...CRAIG LED A TEAM OF LAWYERS FROM SKADDEN, ARPS WHO WERE COMMISSIONED BY THE GOVERNMENT OF UKRAINE UNDER PRESIDENT VIKTOR YANUKOVICH TO LOOK INTO ERRORS IN THE TRIAL OF FORMER UKRAINIAN PRIME MINISTER YULIA V. TYMOSHENKO ON ABUSE-OF-POWER CHARGES.THE report, released in December 2012, found that Tymoshenko was denied legal counsel at “critical stages” of the trial and that her lawyers were wrongly barred from calling witnesses in her defense. The report concluded that Tymoshenko’s right to a fair trial “appears to have been compromised to a degree that is troubling under Western standards of due process and the rule of law.” However, the report also concluded that Tymoshenko’s conviction was supported by the evidence presented at trial and rejected the claim that the prosecution of Tymoshenko was politically motivated by Yanukovich to obstruct the Ukrainian opposition. Tymoshenko’s attorneys rejected that finding, saying that the report was not independent because it was commissioned by the Ukrainian government, which paid Skadden, Arps an undisclosed sum of money, and human rights organizations regarded the report as a whitewash.””
“Craig promoted the report to journalists and members of Congress without much success. EXPERTS SAY THAT CRAIG SHOULD HAVE REGISTERED AS A FOREIGN AGENT, AS LOBBYISTS ARE REQUIRED TO DO WHEN THEY LOBBY ON BEHALF OF FOREIGN GOVERNMENTS.”
“In April 2018, Craig resigned from the firm Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom, following the indictment of Alex van der Zwaan, a lawyer at the firm’s London office. Craig was the lead attorney supervising the firm’s work for former Ukrainian president Yanukovich, in which Zwann participated. Zwaan was later charged by Mueller investigation and pleaded guilty to making false statements. LATER IN 2018, NBC AND CNN REPORTED THAT FOLLOWING A REFERRAL FROM MUELLER’S OFFICE, THE U.S. ATTORNEY’S OFFICE FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK WAS INVESTIGATING CRAIG AND OTHERS, INCLUDING EX-LOBBYIST TONY PODESTA AND FORMER REPUBLICAN U.S. REPRESENTATIVE VIN WEBER, AS PART OF A BROADER INVESTIGATION INTO THE ACTIVITIES OF PAUL MANAFORT....”
He was acquitted on Sept 4, 2019.
ROTFLOL! (Since I never watch movies, I’m still not sure what The Kraken is, but I can speculat.)

It’s a giant mythological sea monster.
By now youve already heard, but Chairman Graham announced tonight on Hannity the IG Report is coming on December 9. Guaranteed.
Didnt Q or Anon say the IG Report release would follow the Impeachment Hearings? Did I dream that?
I assume Schiff will drag out hearings absolutely as long as possible, or until he is stopped and carried off in a straight jacket! That means by December 9, hes DONE, if Graham has been appointed to announce the IG delivery date, as a Lock.
So much Q is breaking through news reports, now, that Im actually beginning to wonder what DECLASS, by Barr/Durham, can possibly add? Lol. Something is breaking Daily!
Terrific Texie. I missed you and all your attention to detail. Glad you are here.
Let me just float a theory about why the announced Dec. 9 date for release of the IG report may actually be genuine. The Dems are planning to vote on impeachment around that time. They are not likely to stage any events to distract from what they see as a propaganda win for themselves. By releasing the IG report at roughly the same time, they use the cover of the impeachment vote to release at a time when there will be no false flags or staged events (i.e. funerals). The House will vote to impeach (which is what POTUS wants) but it will not be the narrative win they’ve been banking on. In fact their narrative is already falling apart. The IG release will completely steal the thunder from the impeachment vote and will expose the Dems in the process.
What's wrong with that?
Indeed. A bolo or 'string tie'. High fashion for me. Good on you for picking up on that. Not too many know what a bolo tie is. ;)
My favorites are a Sterling backer, a bit smaller than a playing card, with either silver work or some turquoise. Complemented with a silver and turquoise ring, and maybe silver and onyx. And a silver bracelet. I'm light skinned, so gold doesn't look right on me. Silver.
If you want to picture me, think Yosemite Sam. Short, big hat, mustache.Two guns. Hah.
LOL! you are both so gracious! Thanks!
The Q team has played this brilliantly. It’s a thing of beauty to watch. By giving in to the Dem’s demands to release the transcripts of his phone calls to Zelensky, he can now easily release the transcripts of phone calls by Obama and Biden with the former Ukrainian regime, regarding Burisma and the firing of Shokin, based on the precedent set.
There I was, headin' to the by God eye doctor again for more needles in the eye (getting better, btw).
I decided to troll the world and where my MAGA hat. Walking into the office I forgot I had it on till the first guy coming rtoward me looked at me like I was the invasion of the body snatchers comin' at him. I was all like, wha? Then I remembered my hat and laughed.
I goes to sit in the huge waiting room with tons of other feeble, half blind, stumbling old codgers. Didn't notice any looks but then everybody in there is AT THE EYE DOCTOR, DOH.
This young Mexican boy with a bizarre-land haircut comes out to call me in. He gives me a look, hesitates, then says, 'right on'. Inside the first room I told him, in repoonse to his 'how is your day goin', that it was great and better since I saw his response to my hat (which he was professionally trying not to mention). He chuckled and I said I wore it to troll people.
On to the second, smaller waiting room. There's this adorable little Mexican chick who is one of my top three nurses. Super skinny, with long long hair and she runs around like ricochet rabbit. She looks like a smaller, Mexican version of younger Cher without the bad teeth. If I hired people she'd be number one on my list. Best worker ever.
Anyway, she's all like, 'hello, Michael". I think she has a secret crush on me. Do you blame her? Anyway, next time she comes by she says 'I love your hat. I'm gonna tell my boss".
Next thing I know, another Mexican girl comes up to me and invades my personal space (not complaining), touches my hat and tells me she LOVES my hat with a huge grin on her face. I smile back and tell her she's a great patriot and god bless you.
The doc is hearing this and says, 'don't get beat up'. I says, 'Do you know who you're talking to doc? I don't get beat up." He says, 'It's a crazy world out there'.
Then I goes into the picture room and there's Mister Mexican bizarro haircut again to take my eye pics. We get to talking about Thanksgiving and what we like. I tell him I'm all about the mashed potatoes (number one food EVER), and then I say I LOVE me some egg nog. He says, 'what's egg nog'?
My very handsome and manly jaw hit the floor. About this time this other Mexican boy chimed in that he didn't know what egg nog is either. I was on another planet. After some discussion, we figured out that there is a Mexican egg nog substance that begins with the letter 'R', I forget the name. Common ground.
Still, wtf?
It was a real build that wall moment. I'm still trippin' that somebody in America has never even HEARD of egg nog.
