DenoPenno replies on Aug 2, 2020:

Nobody can apologize for the race they are because it is not a choice we made. As for whites being poor, a great many of them are poor in my area.

DenoPenno replies on Jul 18, 2020:

@Aristippus My illusion to the Jesus name is that he is not Jesus Smith or Jesus Jones. My kids tell me Jesus only needed one name because he is god. They fail to see that this does not explain anything. If you have a Jesus who died and was buried somewhere this leads into why he has so many tombs or burial places. Itr also explains all the cross splinters and nails that we have had over the centuries.

The massage business was almost like "rent a teen hooker" and they were made available to royalty and even Trump. Epstein knew too much and might have been killed to keep him silent. He also first became rich by convincing a former employer to give him a billion dollars. That man got the models for Victoria's Secret. Epstein knew a lot more secrets than Victoria.

Before the plan I have now I had a company plan that paid 80%. Of course, I had to pay for that one and it cost $110 for two of us. You mention greed and profit and even try putting that on me as well. How am I greedy or profiting by having better healthcare? Do I see resentment?

Trump Is Lying More Than Ever: Just Look At The Data As of early April, Trump has told 23.

itsmedammit comments on Jun 21, 2020:

Yeah, he is a liar, always has been. My question is why did a huge liar get voted into office? The only answer I can think of is that the people who voted for him, my fellow countrymen, either do not care because they think he will make them rich, or they are just ridiculously ignorant.

DenoPenno replies on Jun 21, 2020:

@RiverRick Just this evening I was replying to some of his base in Texas that are relatives of mine. They think they know the truth and I know nothing, and Ted Nugent has it all figured out now. This got so extreme that they shut me out of the group. Most likely they erased all my 5 comments to "keep their conversations pro-Trump " and go on believing nonsense.

Well, maybe there IS a god after all.

A legal document for what? Trump believes in "grabbing them by the pussy" and Epstein was also his friend. Some Trump supporters claim Trump is in many pictures with others and it just happened he was in a pic with Epstein. As for grabbing them by the pussy, Trump gave us that one and added "you can do anything you want." Donald Trump is his own worst enemy. I believe in the Stormy Daniels case money was paid and then they swore an oath not to tell and did a document in other people's names.

Another heartwarming story showing us the beauty in our world.

DenoPenno replies on May 25, 2020:

You are correct about Biden but it DOES matter. With Biden you get a whole new cabinet administration and that means everything. We might have a Secretary of Education who actually knew something about education. Trump brought in his "very best people" and most of them are trying to un-do the EPA and other agencies that we really do need. Everyone deserves clean air and water, food and healthcare. This is a small part in why it matters.

DenoPenno replies on May 24, 2020:

@LetzGetReal It becomes worse but no one sees it much today. At the turn of the century many preachers told the tale that Jesus in his resurrected and glorified body chose the scars, marks, and piercings he had endured as a permanent reminder of what he wet through, and all for us. LOL Remember that Doubting Thomas had to place his fingers in the holes of the nail scarred hands. If someone tried to kill your friend and he was beat half to death why would you not know him if you saw him? This is just more melodrama into the idea of "could a man really come back from the dead."

@of-the-mountain Yes, they are mixing everything together like mixing a pot. Hard to see the truth isn't it? What I can tell you for sure is that polio and other diseases were whipped in my lifetime by vaccination and nobody got autism. As for your sources claiming people that Epstein met with and citing facts, big deal. Epstein was also very close with Donald Trump, so I recommend keeping American politics OUT of this pot that is being mixed so well. If that is not done you have to conclude that the entire world is in on the conspiracy that is being woven together. Most Americans think that and believe that American politics controls it all. They want to connect the dots. I rest my case.
