It's About the Threads that Bind Thing

Dear America,

 "Thus, what enables 

the wise sovereign 

and the good general 

to strike and conquer, and achieve things 

beyond the reach of ordinary men, 

is foreknowledge."

Sun Tzu

chapter thirteen

so, the good news --- even Alabamans recognized Roy Moore was a couple of nuts short of a fruitcake...whew.  we can all get a good giddy up for that, right?

that guy had no business representing the fine state of Alabama, let alone the Republican party; while the winner, Doug Jones -- oh he knows that he must represent the whole of Alabama, and that means the Senate has received a more temperate democrat than the far left norm.  He must also know, when he runs for re-election, he will be met with an entirely new set of conditions on the ground and the opposition will be fierce, ready with a commanding -- and far more deserving -- candidate.  [At least, a girl can hope.....G-zoo, what a whackadoo; and the Alabama  GOP better be moving in that direction, as of six months before yesterday., just sayin'.]

Let's go to Sun Tzu on this happy thursday morn...and get to more from his killer chapter on "The Use of Spies."

He rattles off "five classes" of spies....local; inward; converted; doomed; and surviving.  And goes on to say, "When these five kinds of spy are all at work, none can discover the secret system.  This is called 'divine manipulation of the threads.'  It is the sovereign's most precious faculty."

And this, "Spies cannot be usefully employed without a certain intuitive sagacity...cannot be properly managed without benevolence and straightforwardness...without subtle ingenuity of mind, one cannot make certain of the truth of their reports."

And this, "The end and aim of spying in all its five varieties is knowledge of the enemy; and this knowledge can only be derived , in the first instance, from the converted spy.  Hence, it is essential that the converted spy be treated with the utmost liberality."

........."Spies are a most important element in war, because on them depends an army's ability to move."

Gosh, I love this sh*&  teehee.

What I am stuck on, though -- totally captivated in its intelligence and caught in its web  -- is that part when he articulates the sovereign secret: the "divine manipulation of the threads."  It takes a clear thinking leader to not only orchestrate the retrieving of information, but the experience and shrewdness to know what to do with it, to separate truth and lies and manipulation from the enemy within and without, in order to ultimately use the information to devise the proper response in a timely fashion and win -- be it just a battle or the whole dang war.

It takes a mind that is already three steps ahead of the enemy; it takes a disposition that does not show emotion, or the actual state of mind.  It is always thoughtful; always awake; always working, weaving the threads together into the magnificent weave of  war and peace.

A wise sovereign and the good general, Sun Tzu says, often and much...

This is my wish this Christmas.

For I'm missing that feeling of total confidence in this country's leadership (and mind you,  it has less to do with Trump, and more to do with the entire Republican party -- not to mention, just how dirty overall politics has become).  

I'm missing that feeling of total security, that those in charge are wise, are capable of recognizing that at their disposal are these long and sometimes twisted threads of intelligence, and is prepared to manipulate and move and make plays based upon the integrity of the information, and all with the greater good and sovereign nation as it's benefactor.

That level of enlightened leadership has come to America only a spattering of times:  under the nation's founding, under the leadership of our founding fathers; under the Lincoln Administration; under the Reagan Administration; and for a nano-second under the W Administration, just after 9/11.

With the rise of Identity Politics -- the Trump Administration will never be given a fair opportunity to fully lead the nation under the things that truly unite us all --  unlike the grace and latitude given to the Obama Administration, which in fact, resulted in a rather tyrannical force against our foundations right from its start.  And that is a shame.  A real shame; whatta sham.

[Proof...Just look at what they are capable of -- just look at how the Fake Dossier, Russian Collusion, the Clinton State Department, the Clinton Foundation, the FBI, the Justice Department's Special Counsel, the Obama Administration and its Deep State intrusion into the security of this new administration.....is being met with just more mainstream media in denial, more spies, more inside manipulation of the truth and lies, in order to protect the power of the Left.]

So this morning, my spies are telling me a couple of things:

The first:  America is in the middle of perhaps the most gravely essential war in over a hundred years -- that being the Left warring and DIVIDING AMERICA into itty bitty parts....standing on the front lines and headlines, one front after another, against the very things that have made America exceptional, and in no uncertain terms, pretty great (BT: way, way, Before Trump).

The second:  The Left waging war against the half of Americans who legally, and ethically, and systematically voted for Trump, for reasons The Left will never respect, let alone understand. 

Which brings me to my second Christmas wish -- that Santa brings President Trump a whole lotta foreknowledge.  Like huge.  Like, really big... Like, a lot.

All of this brings me to a little required reading for you today, a piece from Hillsdale College IMPRIMIS:  The Problem of Identity Politics and Its Solution by Matthew Continetti.  

Continetti lays it all out there, as if he knows a thing or two; he goes big and broad, just as our founders did, and would probably do today; he looks to America's common threads and higher purpose, and not to the things which carry the potential to disconnect us -- as the Left has done -- causing factions to rise up, only to bring harm against the very nature of the whole, the whole of who we truly are as a country, as a people.

The Left has spies everywhere, in every class, from the elite of Hollywood and Media and Politics, all the way down to the less-affluent community organizers; and manufactured, the final product is the stuff that made Obama into the leftist god he is today.  

But make no mistake: America --- in part or in whole --  has become enemy number one to The Left; according to their reindeer games and strategies the whole year through, America stands in the way of sugar plum dreams and globalist schemes. (...this day did begin on a fruitcake, doncha know) 

So, on that note, allow me to close with the very same close from Continetti, quoting Abraham Lincoln:

"We are not enemies, but friends.  We must not be enemies.  Though passion may have strained it must not break our bonds of affection.  The mystic chords of memory, stretching from every battlefield and patriot grave to every living heart and hearthstone all over this broad land, will yet swell the chorus of the Union, when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature."

exactly.

And once again, THIS DAY, this G, goes full circle, taking a hold of each unique thread, each strand of pure intelligence, and then coming to a nice, tight, conclusive knot;  everything. and I mean everything,  comes back to "the better angels of our nature."  [In some circles, this is also widely recognized as a constant target and/or tool of leftist strategies far and wide (See also, Rules for Radicals).]

this day is about the beauty of threads that bind, not break; the threads that do not even resemble a broken candidate (like Roy Moore); the threads that together, infiltrate the enemy and return with knowledge, being the stuff required to strike and conquer, and achieve things 

beyond the reach of ordinary men....

....revealing the truth of who we are as AMERICANS, living securely, under "a wise sovereign and good general," under God, and in the company of "the better angels of our nature."

(touche, day; well played)

Make it a Good Day, G

It's About Being Masters of Duplicity, the Whole Kit and Caboodle, Thing

Dear America,

here's a little reminder, people...

America was AND is designed to allow all religions to live together in peace...

and with such a mandate, dating back a couple hundred of years, America was truly unique.  Some might even say, exceptional.

That is until living freely and openly Under God became a lightning rod for hate -- coming under attack by progressives tearing down our traditions and holidays almost on a daily basis, along with Atheists and other Freedom From Religion enthusiasts making it their mission to take any belief, and all evidence thereof, of God down.........and not like a lamb, but with a vengeance. [It's weird, really, as nondescript as "God" Itself truly Is -- but where it should not matter the packaging, the exercising, or the label attached...the consensus seems sharply focused upon attacking Christianity.  Can I get a witness?]

America was AND is designed to have personal freedom in the FREE EXERCISE of our religion AND in our FREE EXERCISE of no religion...that is until said free exercise (whether we agree with it or not) suddenly costs 150K.

America was AND is designed with a government respective of a Natural Law in place -- with a knowing that SOMETHING GREATER than humanity endows each member of our society UNALIENABLE RIGHTS with NO man, and more specifically, no GOVERNMENT made up of men, truly needed in order to give us, we the people, said rights.  [And men simply being, humanity...]

America just isn't like some places around the world at all.

Take for example, the Middle East, the whole kit and caboodle.  (Did you like that?   You know, the more you know, the more you learn you don't know...and sometimes the origins of things matter -- just as in other times,  it doesn't make a hill of beans difference  (boom).   Am I right, Mrs. Hillary "what difference at this point does it make" Clinton?)

oh my goodness, all this digression is gonna kill my point today.

So over the weekend, in a part of the world where multiple religions cannot live freely and openly with one another -- the Middle East -- we received word of another beheading.  No. Wait.  Not just one beheading, because then I might be able to reconcile a day of golf immediately thereafter -- but 21 be-headings.  Twenty One!   The antithesis of the 21 gun salute in every way, twenty-one Egyptian Coptic Christian men were beheaded on a beach in Libya.

Let's see why --  cue Breitbart:

"A Message Signed with Blood to the Nation of the Cross"  is the title of the video...

"Oh people, recently you have seen us on the hills of Al-Sham and Dabiq’s plain, chopping off the heads that have been carrying the cross for a long time, and today, we are on the south of Rome, on the land of Islam, Libya, sending another message. 

All crusaders: safety for you will be only wishes especially if you are fighting us all together. Therefore we will fight you all together. The sea you have hidden Sheikh Osama bin Laden’s body in, we swear to Allah we will mix it with your blood."

so that is pretty clear,

the land of Islam is fighting against the "Nation of the Cross" -- which is all of Christianity, no matter Rome, Italy or Rome, New York,  or Rome, Georgia.   [and what am I thinking -- let's give a free enterprise nod to Olive Garden's latest advertising campaign planting that seed.]

"All crusaders...The sea you have hidden Sheikh Osama bin Laden’s body in, we swear to Allah we will mix it with your blood."

Taking a cue from President Obama's speech at the National Prayer Breakfast a couple weeks ago, these Violent Islamic Extremists believe nothing's changed from the Middle Ages, talking the Crusades and all.  So thank you, Mr. President; our president handed them a new narrative --- not that any of them in the caboodle needed one.

And what up -- using the burial place in the death of Osama Bin Laden as another talking point? That certainly takes us back to the punting-football moment of "GM is alive and Bin Laden is dead", huh Joe.

And what up --  Libya?  Of all places for this caboodle of masked Islamic Caliphate marauders to land...

If anyone is keeping track, nearly everything this administration has done to"bring peace and civility" to the Middle East has blown up in their faces.  Or is that OUR faces -- as in, all of our faces, as in they, the "ISIL-affiliated terrorists," will fight us all together, as in all of us?

And just how did our administration respond to the be-headings?

“The United States condemns the despicable and cowardly murder of twenty-one Egyptian citizens in Libya by ISIL-affiliated terrorists,” it said. “We offer our condolences to the families of the victims and our support to the Egyptian government and people as they grieve for their fellow citizens. ISIL’s barbarity knows no bounds. It is unconstrained by faith, sect, or ethnicity.”

[But it IS CONSTRAINED by faith, sect, and ethnicity!!!!!   FOR THEY TELL US SO!!!!!!]

Oh but here's another thing -- it wasn't even spoken out of  the mouth of our president (because he went golfing!!!!!!).   The world comes to a standstill with the shock and horror of twenty-one Christian Coptic Egyptians being beheaded on a beach in Libya and our president cannot sit still for one day out of respect?  Seriously?  [Of course this girl is not surprised; he didn't join the world's leaders in solidarity in Paris either...]

Here's a thought:  Can you just imagine how the president would react if Christians beheaded 21 Muslims on a beach in San Diego? 

But wait.  There's more.

TO combat all of this stuff that we seem to not know about the kit and caboodle of characters, be it ISIS, al-Qaeda, Hamas, and lone-wolf terrorists of all shapes and sizes but same bat channel of religious association AND all of its affiliates:  the Nation of Islam...

we get a summit.
Because talking about it is much easier than doing something about it.

V.P. Joe Biden is expected to open the summit.

Wonder what he will begin with....perhaps we can expect something equally provocative and catchy as reminding the nation of Islam we killed their leader.  And with aplomb.

Rest assured, there will be many discussions -- MANY --  on the whole kit and caboodle that is  considered acts of extremism and terrorism and all things threatening in America and the entire world in which we live.  It will ALL be DISCUSSED.

hmmmmmm...

It was just a week ago -- only a few days before the be-headings of 21 Coptic Christian Egyptians on a beach in Libya, a place of  Islamic Implosion since the day we bombed it without any long-term plan of sustainability in place -- our president made this announcement:

Make no mistake — this is a difficult mission and it will remain difficult for some time. It’s going to take time to dislodge these terrorists, especially from urban areas. But our coalition is on the offensive. ISIL is on the defensive, and ISIL is going to lose,” Mr. Obama said in a brief address. “Our coalition is strong, our cause is just and our mission will succeed. And long after the terrorists we face today are destroyed and forgotten, America will continue to stand free and tall and strong.  (The Washington Times)

Indeed.

They -- the "ISIL-affiliated terrorists"  -- came right back "on the defensive" and beheaded 21 Christians for no other reason than they be Christian  -- does it really matter where they came?

yeah, America is not like that.

America was AND is designed to be different...

exceptional, if you will.

The exception to the way of the world around us

was governed, back in the day;

and remains to this day

the divine design of

the ORIGINS of our 

RELIGIOUS FREEDOM.

beautiful.

The Washington Times continues, noting:

The authorization prohibits “enduring offensive ground combat operations,” but there is confusion about exactly what that term means. Mr. Obama stressed that he won’t commit the U.S. to another all-out ground war but made clear that he will use special operations forces to target Islamic State leaders when necessary. 

“If we had actionable intelligence about a gathering of ISIL leaders and our partners didn’t have the capacity to get them, I would be prepared to order our special forces to take action,” he said.

exactly.
that's what summits are for -- and then applying the "actionable intelligence"  using any means necessary...It’s going to take time to dislodge these terrorists, especially from urban areas. 

[that's funny...'especially from urban areas'...what? did our president really just say that?]


and Our coalition is strong, our cause is just and our mission will succeed. And long after the terrorists we face today are destroyed and forgotten, America will continue to stand free and tall and strong. 

yeah. yeah,  they will just go away.

Because our mission is stronger than their mission, our cause is more just than their cause??

But what does history tell us...

The United States and Islam have a history...

From a piece plucked from WND.com, Bill Federer explains:

When Jefferson asked the Muslim ambassador what the new country of America had done to offend them, he reported to John Jay, March 28, 1786: “The Ambassador answered us that it was … written in their Qur’an, that all nations who should not have acknowledged Islam’s authority were sinners, that it was their … duty to make war upon them … and to make slaves of all they could take as prisoners.”

President Jefferson's response -- he sent in the bloody Navy and the Marines, a.k.a. America's whole kit and caboodle, saying:

[In his First Annual Message, Dec. 8, 1801, Thomas Jefferson stated:] 

“Tripoli … of the Barbary States, had come forward with demands unfounded either in right or in compact, and had permitted itself to (announce) war on our failure to comply before a given day. The style of the demand admitted but one answer. I sent a small squadron of frigates into the Mediterranean, with assurances to that power of our sincere desire to remain in peace, but with orders to protect our commerce against the threatened attack. ”

As Federer continues to explain --

 The Navy and Marines later captured Tripoli and forced the Pasha to make peace on U.S. terms.

Frederick Leiner wrote in “The End of the Barbary Terror – America’s 1815 War Against the Pirates of North Africa” (Oxford University Press): “Commodore Stephen Decatur and diplomat William Shaler withdrew to consult in private. … The Algerians were believed to be masters of duplicity, willing to make agreements and break them as they found convenient.”

[And for more about this time in history, go to The Thomas Jefferson Papers, here]

"Masters of Duplicity"

kinda reminding me of a certain Commander-In-Chief.  just sayin'

Me thinks the whole kit and caboodle under God here is in for a rude awakening once history is documented for all the world to see. (That is, if we survive and live in a land with the freedom to tell the story still).

 Long after this president is gone -- after he finds himself upon the greens in Palm Desert with no reason not to... day after day after day -- we will all come to know the truth about what is truly happening here.

And the hindsight will not be kind; for President Obama's true caboodle is not here, but over there.

He will retire from office and realize what he's always known -- he will "convert" to Islam and come out of the closet a Muslim. [Working in the same pattern as his "evolution" on traditional marriage...   He lives a lie until he can safely come out with the truth.  It's just about the optics, of politics, you know....and everyone will applaud his bravery, no doubt.]  go ahead and laugh...what ever.  Mark my words, you heard it here first. 

Thing is -- the whole kit and caboodle always comes out eventually.

Make it a Good Day, G

and right, Mr. President -- ISIL is on defense, as far as the eye can see, which presently, is all over the internet.  God save us all.

Dear America,

"wish I knew what you were looking for ...might have known what you would find mm m m mm mmm
something quite peculiar...something is shimmering and white..
leads you here despite your destination ...under the milky way tonight...under the milky way tonight"

Before we can begin 'The Mirage', the mini-series, we have some follow up on yesterday's little space cadet.  As that Shepard Smith on Crazy Town Fox News reported in his southern drawl early on, 'sure hope this little boy is just hiding somewhere and just doesn't want to be in trouble'...turns out his comments were not only fortuitous but right on the moon.  Falcon was found mid-afternoon after taking refuge in a box in the attic.

All's well that ends well, I guess, considering the situation.  I don't know about you  -- but for me, from the moment I left you and started watching the play by play surrounding Falcon's disappearance, listening to the commentators describe the turn of events, watching this hover-muffin for at least an hour, all I could think about was the thought that they couldn't have planned a better name for this boy --  I mean, if it was staged -- which it wasn't -- so don't pull a Rush on me and take what I just said out of context.

But geeze, Falcon?  Now that he's alright, except for the details of being grounded (hardy har har), I can't think of how any more perfect that stage name -- I mean, name name -- could be.  Certainly, it was better that he didn't venture off into the wild blue yonder in the shiny flying beret, but the near death experience should cement the 'do not try this at home' in his little head for some time to come.

It was interesting, however, the number of times I heard speculation of whether or not the whole thing was staged, designed, commanding attention for a publicity stunt...and by the looks of things, the discussion is not over, given what continues to come out of the mouths of babes.

Create a whirlwind of worry just for a show, or for effect, or to influence people? 

Now just who would do that?

Again, don't take that out of context, I believe they DID NOT PLAN IT, the Heene Family -- nobody orchestrated anything.  That's what I believe to be true today (I don't know about tomorrow, I may change my mind).

But now, this Administration:

• Nothing is by accident
• Everything is planned
• and their motto, "we never want a serious crisis to go to waste."

This is for real, people; and Rahm Emmanual is one of those "he [the annointed one] surrounds himself with" for effect or to transform a nation; but make no mistake, everyone in the White House have been handpicked by Obama, and all the President's men, specifically for their role, and have been preparing -- writing script and legislation, setting up scenarios of risks and bailouts, and have been waiting patiently backstage for just the right light to pull it off.

This isn't Hollywood dreaming up some creepy new story line, like in V; when all I've seen are commercials on it give me the shivers.  I'm sure I'll have nightmares tonight just imagining these people from space with that reverberated voice saying 'we come in peace, we do no harm, we  are here to help you and bring you harmony and health care'.  really? no, seriously, she really said health care.

The creepiest part was the clip where this space chick is beginning an interview, the guy asks her something before they get started, of which I can't remember, as it was her response that blew me away: "Just be sure not to ask us anything that would paint us in a negative light."  Huh?  Ahh, just doesn't get any better than that.

Of course, she isn't real, only make believe -- I wasn't born yesterday --  I know not everything we see on TV is true.  Let me repeat that:

Not everything we see on TV is true.

It is no accident that all during Obama's campaign, he positioned himself squarely with everyone.  He answered all the right questions with all the right answers.  You were there, I don't need to tell you.

He created stages wherever he went; surrounding himself with his followers.  He mimicked Martin Luther King and projected a man in the middle; a man who would straighten out Washington, because all those guys were very very bad (even though he was already one of 'em). Yeah, you saw that too.

He said he would not give any jobs to lobbyist; they wouldn't even get a guest pass.  He would open up C-SPAN for all decision making processes of legislation - because we will be the administration of transparency.  Yeah, you were there for that, too.

And how about that night in Denver?  Wow.  Outrageous...it truly felt like the second coming -- not that I was there for that, were you?

Well all of that is well and good for the campaign!  It was, for all the marbles.  It was, going for broke with deep pockets.  It was, all is fair in love and war.  It was, the final frontier to the mother ship.

But the show is supposed to be over now; staging is out and reality is in; could somebody please send him the memo?  They like usurping documents from the CIA, how about we just tempt them with rumour of new classified material, mentioning under our breath they might possibly be interested in taking a glance, no questions asked if they simply walk away with it...go ahead...do it...nobody's looking.

All I can hope for is they start to get tired, what are the chances you think?  Aww, that's pretty silly of me  -- just yesterday Obama was speaking to his followers in New Orleans telling them, "I'm just getting started!"  It was his first visit since he took office to Katrina's damage epicenter; while he looked so fired up,  makes you wonder what plane his reality is truly based, given the dynamics of destruction hitting America with gale force winds.

Besides the staging, the favorable audience, the teleprompter and props (you know, like doctors, and activists planted @ tea party events and town hall meetings, and children singing), it all comes down to spin -- and the virtual timing of that spin. 

Oh sure, some things can be decided right away, like GITMO, done; signed into foreclosure day two of his Presidency (of course, doing it is a different story -- another producer needs to pick up on where he left off). 

And some stories we think are coming to a dramatic close rather abruptly because, and I'm paraphrasing, 'it must be done for Americans, and cannot wait any longer, and Congress must act before summer recess...'  (what is turning out as somewhere lost in space, the health care bill was supposed to have been a direct hit onto the American people --aside from the fact that the actual implementation of rewards being not until 2013, yet new taxation starting immediately -- yeah, no illusions there.)

While other plot lines meander and turn and just take months to unfold, as we, the people sit and wait.

Take for example the Afghanistan war,
In the campaign, this was THE war to WIN; Bush was stupid, and  his sentiments were simply this, 'if I were in charge I would put more troops over there to get it done right, so there!'  Now that he is there, in the oval office that is, it would seem he's been having a series of technical difficulties -- his mojo ain't a go-go on this one.

In March-- the 27th to be exact and to his credit -- he got a real strategy, this is what I want, now go, away with you... More troops were sent (actually the troops that were already scheduled to go from the previous administration)
Then he stopped ( I think he thought he was done). 

By June, however, he got a new General (somebody who really knew what he was doing).
Then he stopped. 

Things then started to heat up.  Rumours started flying. The possibility for more troops may be requested per the General so he got a little queasy, I mean uneasy, but not enough to meet actually with the General (until the people heard all about it on 60 Minutes). 
Then he did -- meet with the General (for all of 30 minutes on the tarmac in Copenhagen after his commercial for Chicago to the Olympic Committee). 
Then he stopped. 

Then he developed the idea to bring in Joe, let him push his ideas around a bit and show the people great contemplation over a serious matter (cuz he knows Joe, he's totally not into it). 
Then he stopped. 

Recently, the fraudulent elections throw in another reason to stop...because that's what they were afraid of all along, I told you so... (like now he decides to be interested in voter fraud).
Even still, he stopped some more. 

Yesterday, however, he's signed off on giving 7 Billion dollars to Paaak-e-staan-- who's first concern was that there may be too many strings attached (hello, anyone see a red flag here?). 

Today, we are still stopped; or maybe he's just committed to the holding pattern indefinitely and we're just unaware, circling Pluto.  He wants us to believe that he is really taking a hard look at his options when its more like a hard look at how do I get out of this, searching for the black hole.

Now I'm no General, but isn't timing and follow through everything here?   As I understand, we had Afghanistan handled in a very short period of time originally, but we strategically left them vulnerable, and are consequently paying the price for that now.  Isn't there a lesson here from what we already learned, we gotta get in and get it done and stay put, otherwise we will be playing cat and mouse for a very long time to come; and just maybe, we don't have much time.

While what truly bugs, the whole world is watching -- even Iran, Pakistan, Russia, China, N.Korea, Venezuela, and Cuba.  I'm not sure what they think, but surely the back and forth, the indecision, the lack of fortitude and constant second guessing ourselves does not help matters, and must make America appear rather weak.  How do you say chicken in Arabic?  Why would an administration want to do that?

Everything coming out of this administration hasn't set right with anybody; and even though they would never admit it, I don't even think Democrats are happy; our country is flying like that little hovercraft we saw yesterday just hoping to find a tether some time soon.

And yet image is everything.  Most stupid Americans think its great that Europeans like us again.

I'm sorry, what have they done for us lately -- oh, it doesn't matter; for the agenda continues to take top billing on the President's list of priorities and scheduling of parties and visits.  It is a matter of our National Security and Global Transformation  to change the American image in the face of Europeans -- to cajole, bow, kiss up and make nice and apologize for everything -- including probably the Revolutionary War if we close our eyes for even a second.

Problem is, not only does this administration want to make nice with our allies -- he is acting like he wants to invite dictators over to make mud pies in the back yard, turn the White House into a big space ship, and let them spend the night  in the Lincoln bedroom if given the chance.

Go out and make it a good day, play a little, it's Friday x G
