DenoPenno replies on Jul 22, 2021:

@BDair My take on it all is that you are lucky. As for me, I've had Covid19 and recovered and I am also now vaccinated with Moderna. I will not do a third jab because anyone recommends it and i am aware that I do not have full protection. There is no full protection and there is zero protection once you get sick. A healthy immune system is not a guarantee either. Right now in Springfield, Missouri at Mercy Hospital the Delta Variant is causing lots of deaths and most of those were not vaccinated. It is in the news. I watch worldwide news live and avoid political takes on things like Carona and SARS.

The plan is to impeach them both and then Trump just steps in because he is next in line. Even if he takes Pelosi's seat it simply does not happen this way with no questions asked, and it does not all happen quickly. The one thing "the plan" is beginning to show is that they know there is no "reinstatement." Trump has one chance of being POTUS again and that is to get elected in 2024. It is that only unless he and his people want a coup.

Nobody immigrates to America and carries papers. A green card maybe or other ID. Homeland Security says do not carry your papers on you. There are no police stopping and arresting people after checking for papers.

DenoPenno replies on Jul 1, 2021:

I deliver auto parts in a national corporate chain. Rick is a customer and customers can also simply come into the store to buy things. As a person who delivers I also have a dispatcher that sends me on deliveries. The boss can also do this and does at times and so do counter people if a delivery just came in over the phone. This keeps me busy. We are supposed to be very polite, and the customer is always right. My old boss was a Trumper. My new boss can be whatever corporate wants him to be and he thinks we should be treated more respectfully. The solution here is not for me to be more respectful. It is for customers to come in and buy their parts without trying to provoke political arguments.

Depopulation

DenoPenno comments on Jun 30, 2021:

Nobody wants to get rid of you. They all need your money.

DenoPenno replies on Jul 1, 2021:

@BDair OK, so a man who got rich by selling you stuff has now decided that there are too many people to buy stuff. He openly has these "kill 'em off" meetings and has invented a shot to help do that. One injection will track you more than your cell phone. Meanwhile, Joe Namath and JJ Walker try repeatedly on TV to get a part of your $144 a month Medicare. This is how badly they want your money and lots of bucks can be made out of that $144. Maybe "depopulation" has a different meaning than kill or eliminate. Maybe it has to do with families who cannot take care of all their children because they don't have the money to do so. Back to people all wanting your dollar, the rich are only rich because they have your dollar.

This is the type of bullshit that I see and hear of repeatedly. It has to change.

Anti-mask people want to argue with the establishment that tells them to wear a mask. Yes, I'm sure they will make an exception "just for you." Change a store or corporate policy "just for you."

QAnon. New American Religion. Scary stuff. Do many of your friends and family support Qanon?

David1955 comments on May 29, 2021:

Your country's QAnon is not a new religion, but a further toxic evolution in American Christian evangelism, linking messianic Christianity with secular messianic devotion, with Trump and Q as the figureheads. Haven't you seen the posters: 'Jesus is my saviour, Q is my prophet, and Donald J Trump is...

DenoPenno replies on May 29, 2021:

QAnon is the greatest crock of horseshit that ever came along. I find those that do not know something or really want it to be their way actually embrace this crap. Many so-called intelligent people are in this also. I know a man who believes that Biden has been assassinated and that Rump was president the entire time and is going to show again in July. The dates just keep changing. It fits if Trump is Jesus or maybe a groundhog.

Does anyone still balance their checking account?

DenoPenno comments on May 27, 2021:

I have 3 accounts and do online banking daily. Imagine the shell game of trying to figure out where the pea is, and that is how I do my accounts. All must balance and figure properly for this to work well. I pay by card and carry very little money.

DenoPenno replies on May 28, 2021:

@HippieChick58 Whatever works for you, but I balance all 3 accounts daily as I do transactions. Money comes and goes in my 3 accounts and currently I have about $17 in real cash. I operate off a debit card and banking setup and do not worry on paying bills. I also do not live paycheck to paycheck.

Keep in mind that my writing here is vague because I knew this family very well. The 37 year old has no chance of ever recovering and parts of her system is shutting down. Once attractive, she is a mental and physical wreck beyond repair and now has cancer also. Exactly when the father, mother, and daughters all got overwhelmed by drugs is not clear to many of us here.. The 37 year old was given drugs for sex at a young age to get her started. It was also said years ago that she has an uncurable sexual disease of some sort.

I'm not real sure where the dividing line is between paranormal and unfamiliar. I've had several unfamiliar experiences, which, at the time I might have thought of as involving the supernatural, but which I now see as atypical (para-normal?) psychology.

DenoPenno replies on May 21, 2021:

This is exactly the type of paranormal experiences I have had. They seemed real at the time but that was years ago. Today I can mostly explain everything away. If not, it simply means that I do not know the answer. Not that I am afraid or believe that goblins did it.

We have no other pandemics to compare with except the 1918 Spanish Flu. The validity of your statement is true only in so much that medicine has made great strides in 100 years. We also know that there was no vaccine for this in 1918. What we are doing now is experimental in so much as possibly ending up needing as vaccine on a yearly basis. It is up to the individual if they want to do this.

DenoPenno replies on May 6, 2021:

I'm not sure what Scott Lively feels but his indoctrination will demand that he feels persecution. Jesus told his followers that they would be "persecuted for my sake" and every Christian alive takes this on and claims it as their own. "See how good I am. I'm persecuted for Jesus." Equally, most Christians think that Jesus will return in their lifetimes. This line of thinking shows how important they are.
