Remember that look of co fusion on the faces of all the “expert” talking heads on election night? Yep, that.

I’ve never seen one that has happened.

Always been a WN membership drive.

(IMO, of course).

Didn't read the article you linked - it froze my computer.

But on to KDW - when he first started writing for NR he was a fresh new writer (they had a few at the time), witty, smart; good, orderly thoughts.

Then came Trump, and KDW has never stopped frothing at the mouth, (or telling us how much smarter he is than Trump, or anyone else in the universe).
So much so, it has affected his fine writing style.

Now Kevin D Williamson is just a "pant-load".

Q is a psyops utilizing crowdsourcing in an attempt to obtain information about methods and processes from the unwitting who are drawn to being included in a ‘special’ clique.

So far, no original material has been disclosed that hasn't already been exhaustively covered in the annals of FR. (They) remind me of that Mike Certainovich dude and his cronies who talked some poor slob into reporting a bomb on a ship.

If the California rebellion spreads to Illinois, NY-NJ-CT-MD and a new Confederacy is born, things could get very messy.

I have no idea what to do about California.

Tomorrow, tomorrow,
you’re always a day away.

As the infiltrators of Russia Russia Russia can tell you, there are times when seers and informers do have need of adjusting their clocks. That lost hour last night confused us all.

For the record - Q has been spot on in some regards. Right/wrong. Always 50/50. Ask the Magic 8 ball.

I’m more than content to wait and see how things play out. It’s not like the opinions of posters on an anonymous internet forum are going to matter one way or the other.

All of this BS and speculation reminds me of one or two columns written by the late conservative columnist William Safire during the Whitewater/Lewinski investigations. He claimed, on the "highest authority", that Clinton was going to be formally accused of a great mass of high crimes centering on massive abuse of power. Then it turned out to be nothing but a two bit perjury rap. The point of the story being that nobody knows until he knows.

CWII Ping. Or should I say "No CWII" Ping?

* Huma, Hillary and Obama are still free. ** Obama gave a speech on Feb 23 at the Boston Expo Center ** Hillary just arrived in India for a three day visit. ** Huma attended fashion week in NYC Feb 14. These people are not in Gitmo. The video still hasn't been released. *** At what point do Q supporters begin to admit he's a fraud? I know how hard it is to switch positions on something like that. But at the same time, it's always good to deal with reality. *** A lot of people are waiting for an invisible group to save us. That's a pretty passive position (even if you are retweeting Q stuff all the time) *** This goes the other way too. The Left are increasing screechy about the "treason" that has been "proven" by Mueller's investigation and the couple of lame guilty pleas that he's managed to get, along with the 10 year old tax case against Manafort and Gates. No, that's not treason. In fact, it appears more and more likely that the Mueller investigation may end with a fizzle, not a bang. He issues a report explaining about the Russian Troll Farm and maybe supporting (the poorly documented and suspect) theory that the Russians hacked the DNC and Podesta, and that's about it. Flynn walks with a slap on the wrist, as does Papadopolous. Gates does OK on his plea bargain, Manafort goes down hard, and Mueller declares victory. It's easy to imagine that outcome, it seems like the path we are on.

From the article: In contrast, if they started making journalists pee in a cup, there would immediately be no more CNN, and National Review would have to hire back Mark Steyn and John Derbyshire just to keep the presses rolling.

Yes, Williamson is a full pant-load.

Who cares. The National Review still belongs at the bottom of the outhouse for all true conservatives.

You can't comment unless you are a paid subscriber.

National Review came under sustained attack from the neo-Nazi "Daily Stormer" Troll Army. I don't think Free Republic has ever seen anything like it. The comments were absolutely disgusting, and their were lots of them.

It seems a reasonable thing for them to do, given that.

I don't want to make a comment. I just want to be able to read the comments.

Meanwhile, both republicans and democrats continue to chop away at our 2A rights.

“Another Q prediction that didn’t happen.”

Your problem is you didn’t read all his stuff and interpret it correctly :-)

Then you will get a clue.

That will lead to another clue ...

It’s like a cross between the movies National Treasure and the Da Vinci code and the History channel “Curse of Oak Island Mystery”.

"You can't comment (on National Review) unless you are a paid subscriber."

If that's the case, it is a policy implemented within the last week. I am not a subscriber, and I make comments all the time.
