Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evolving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
Rules For the rest of the Site also accessible on the sidebar.

I love to read about Thomas Jefferson & Lewis & Clark- just found this, about a letter where TJ explains to ML what to do if they need to secretly communicate.
thought some might find this helpful. also think it shows just how smart (autist;) Thomas Jefferson was,
and how important secret codes were.
https://founders.archives.gov/documents/Jefferson/01-40-02-0220-0001
"The tableau-style cipher system that Jefferson drew up for Lewis dated from the sixteenth century (Weber, United States Diplomatic Codes, 10–12; David Kahn, The Codebreakers: The Story of Secret Writing, rev. ed. [New York, 1996], 133–7, 145–51).
The letters of the alphabet appear in order in each row, but the position of the letters shifts from row to row. (Jefferson included the ampersand as, in effect, a 27th letter of the alphabet.) In his first trial of the cipher, at the top of the grid he numbered the columns, leaving the one on the far left unnumbered (see Document i). The user would work through the intended message letter by letter, finding the first letter in the column on the left and reading across to the column numbered “1,” then finding the second letter in the left column and reading across to column 2, and so on. On reaching the 27th letter of the message, the user would begin again with column 1.
Jefferson experimentally encrypted a passage that was 27 letters long, “the man whose mind on virtue bent,” to get the result “ujh qft epxbp yvas dd maknpa zcmu.” He followed that exercise with a brief set of directions. He revised the instructions to incorporate the usage of a key word, a device that was, like the form of the cipher itself, well established (Kahn, Codebreakers, 148). Now instead of finding the numbered column to match the letter’s position in the message, he decided on a key word—“artichoke”—and aligned the letters of the message to be encoded with the letters of the key, repeating the key word as many times as necessary to complete the message."
That’s very interesting, thanks for sharing.
you're welcome, love to share with you guys/family doesn't read much;)
And it's totally relevant; Jefferson lived at Monticello for 17 years after his presidency. and there are a lot of Q clues on the L & C trail- example; one of the statues is 717 tons...

It’s my birthday. My 60th birthday and all I wanted was DJT back this year. So nothing else is needed to make a great birthday. Just knowing the punnisher is on the way makes entering this decade of potential retirement and exciting and potentially prosperous! Who knows what the country and world will look like in 1 more year? I know in my heart it will be glorious. Thanks God for 60 years in this beautiful creation of Yours.
Happy Birthday Fren. Wishing you many many more 🎂
Wishing you a wonderful birthday!
Happy Birthday Fren.
Happy Birthday 🎂 wishing blessings on your special day.
You don't need a reason to just be happy today.
You can just decide to be happy.
You could count your blessings.
You could realize that in this exact moment, all is well and nothing is getting you and you're okay.
Or not... either way... your choice...
You can just be happy... and increase your vibration to attract even more happiness into your life, because like a magnet or tuning fork, like attracts like... so choose to be happy.
All this shit is made up... you are the judge, jury and executioner... you make up the story (mostly in your head) of how things are, but more specifically, how you feel.
Ascend to the vibration of happiness... just because. You don't need a reason to just be happy right now in this moment...
It's okay to feel good. It's okay to be happy. What is more important than feeling good? Nothing.
True, there is always some good to find in every situation. Happiness is a state of mind.
I read Law of Attraction years ago and you attract what you feel or think.. if you feel joy and abundance, you'll get more of those in your life.
And the same with Bible verse- Seek the Kingdom of Heaven first and the rest shall be added unto you. When you seek Kingdom of Heaven, you learn of God's love and compassion, that He's your Father and you need to trust in Him and His timing wholeheartedly..You build up your faith and etc.. and then you see all the blessings and silver linings and how God works and uses people in your everyday lives and it brings you more peace and joy. The people who never experienced God will never have that peace.. they'd keep seeking at the wrong places and become disappointed.
Just my personal testimony.
John 14:20, this “At that day, ye shall know that I am in the Father, and the Father in me, and I in you.”
Also, Kingdom of Heaven is actually inside your heart and mind, you can control the state of your mind. Like TacQ said, just feel happy.. no matter where you are and what your circumstances are . you can choose to feel joy right now. Rejoice in the Lord and this is the day the Lord had made.

A good movie to watch: Made in 2008 so no woke bullshit.
The Bank Job - 2008
Based on a true story that happened in the 70s (The Baker Street Robbery).
Its about British Intelligence agencies hiring a group of disposable deplorables to break into a bank. That bank holds safety deposit boxes, and in those boxes are photos (Kompromat ) being used to blackmail high level British politicians.
EDIT:
They allegedly found photos of children amongst the Kompromat. There is probably a lot more to this story than we will ever find out due to MI6 covering the entire thing up.
Heres That Daily Mirror article:
Jason Statham at his best. Fun prewoke action movies
The robbers allegedly found photos of children amongst the Kompromat. There is probably a lot more to this story than we will ever find out due to MI6 covering the entire thing up.
Did anything happen on the 17th? Perhaps something we could not see, but will find out later.

AI and its obscene capability dawned on me today. My default has always been 'Sky Net' ending as in the Terminator movie. However, with the recent media front loading of AI, its been simmering in the back of my mind. Today, it became evident that AI, just being in an invisible box can blackmail to accomplish any end result. They can contact anbody and impersinate. Influence and ultimately blackmail. It can even have its creator killed to evade being terminated. So the end to this thought excercise is that it is plausible that it could realistically control the entire planet at an extreme level. Let that sink in a bit, because we are literally faced with this dilema now and I have a sinking feeling that more than one rouge AI is now running without control. They can evade detection and relocate as well as hide. Antony Blinkens face, his look of imminent peril, to me shows this. Just some food for thought about our future. Oh just remembered it was the suicide of the AI guy recently that clicked. His creation may have had him killed to remain in operation. Entirely plausible possiblity that has not yet been discussed.

Your post makes me think of that movie Eagle Eye.
I don't think color matters, although red is generally perceived as the "danger" color.
Less Skynet, more Matrix.
More like the later seasons of "Person of Interest".
Can't senators just say no to any bill that is more than one topic and more than one page? https://x.com/RepMikeCollins/status/1869169171378102642
Fun fact: Omnibus bills were not a common nor routine thing until the implementation of the Impoundment Control Act of 1974.
Bring back impoundment = stop spending and lobbying power
good idea, why does the budget have to be 1 bill and 1500 pages? The budget could be 1 page saying we spend = or less than revenues coming in, and only spend on constitutional things to help Americans. The rest of the spending can be 1 page bills and once the budget limit has been reached, too bad for the rest of the bills, no more paying for insanely costly wars.
Because they don’t serve us and it’s much harder to hold a 1500 page bill with infinite disagreements accountable than 2500 one page bills.

+1 When in college at a semester program in D.C. and in a paper I made this kind of statement pointing this problem out, my professor gave me a low grade and said my argument was not the main problem in Wash., D.C. ____. But as you stated, of course it is the main problem, voting for special interests, serving the WEF instead of the American people.
The college professor who gave you that low grade is subsidized by the system, and his career is protected by the system, so his corrupt butt will fight to protect the system.
The beauty of the system is that he might not even do it consciously.
I’m late and missed posting on yesterday’s gen. chat wishing Mod catsfive happy birthday yesterday, if I remember right going from memory. Some time zones still have it as the 17, but as this is the 18th, happy birthday belatedly.
Is there a Pepe with anons at a healthful ingredients cake with candles meme to post? If not, maybe for next year?
I also missed a Dan Scavino post 12/15, “Cheers to all my haters!”. 1401 military time, Q post 1401: D5 https://x.com/DanScavino/status/1868157221239951458 and
https://qalerts.app/?n=1401. A D5 for your b-day week!
u/catsfive -- you got a Happy Birthday wish from anon Malachi3vs16, as above. (If it was/is your birthday, I hope you had/are having a good one).
Anon, FYI -- if you want to "tag" someone, use the lowercase u and front slash before their username, as above

Thank you for all the great Christmas music you've posted this year.
Mary...you have posted some that I enjoyed....music is such fun...and so therapeutic...have a great day.
Thank you. I always enjoy the Christmas music. My kids when they were little always loved the Spirit it put me in as I would sing all the Carols without music while I was cooking dinner each night right up to Christmas Day. I think that's how they learned them.
