Taxpayer socialism. What are the taxpayers paying the socialists for and who are they? Was there a big bang and a sudden blow up of something from one small singularity or do we have an electric universe? I was not there and cannot tell you. Neither can these scientists and investors. I imagine they might continue with other models from time to time OR idiots can throw up their arms and declare "god did it." I have never found myself worried about something I cannot know and cannot prove. When I go to work tomorrow this will not be on my mind.

DenoPenno comments on Jan 1, 2022:

This is a good one and a sore point with me. I do not like loud noises. I never did. Years ago in a bar along Hempstead Highway in Houston, Texas my wife and I encountered fireworks. That's right. Inside the bar. We got up and went home. People tell me it is a New Years tradition. I don't get it. Move into July 4th now with all the fireworks and noises. I do not buy fireworks as an adult. Never ever, and I affectionately call this "Pop Pop Day." I can imagine kids wanting daddy to buy more pop pop and burn up some more money. Others say to me "you don't celebrate your independence?" Somehow they are confused and brainwashed into this. I have had independence my entire life. If you wanna see fireworks go to a firework display in your area. Last night I got into season 2 of Alex Rider and then went to bed about 9 PM. Strangely, I heard no fireworks in my area this year. I doubt that locals have gotten smarter. Most likely they had no money.

Happy Arbitrary New Year! We stare a "new year" in the face.

I loved Betty White and thought she would at least make it to 100. Just a few days ago I read a quote by her on living so long, then suddenly she is dead. It seemed that she still had a sound mind. She was still active, they said. I look at her sudden death and also the one of my long time religious friend, Willie. I talked to him on the phone almost every day. Both of them are proof of the saying "here today and gone tomorrow."

It isth no wonderith of how they loveith the KJV. In my church dayz it was claimed to be the "most accurate" translation and one person even said "they talked so strangely back then." Most of the KJV crowd are really un-educated people who want to base a doctrine on a translation. In You Tube bible rants a woman is badgering me over my lack of beliefs. She wants to know if I'm going to wait until the Rapture to be a Christian. Truth is, I will never be one again and "great joy at his appearing" does not translate into a bible doctrine. At that time you are supposed to be so special to god that he saves you just like he has saved all those other people in the past. Can we name them?

What I discovered was a couple of pictures of a black girl. Later, a local cop told me he thought these pics came from my wife's secret St. Louis lover. Maybe they were pics of his sister or something. I reported the racist bastard. I doubt that he had any training at all. Just a badge.

Sadly this is all true. People making much less than $40,000 a year claim that higher minimum wages create all kinds of problems. McDonalds went up to $14 an hour in my area without raising prices. How is progress destroying the economy? Those that think it will are secretly mind-hooked into ideas of letting the top 1 percent have everything and even when it comes to a stimulus check you hear cries of "somebody is going to have to pay that back." This is when I start asking if anyone buys goods of any kind as to how things are going to get "paid back."

NO, and that is not how it happened when I got Covid19 a year ago. I was not running around in fear wanting to be tested. I got sick and knew what it was, went to a testing place to confirm it, and did this because the Corporation I work for would want to quarantine you for 14 days. Now I hear that the time is cut down to 5 days.

Venezuelan Man Accused of Rigging 2020 Election Sues Fox News, Sidney Powell for $250M

Sidney Powell made $19 million out of her false claims naming Dominion alone. I can imagine that when Dominion is through she will pay that back and then some. Fox News will also have to settle. I say they will settle to avoid court because court means Fox will have to show. This means all the involved e-mails will be laid out at trial. Fox will then be liable and guilty because they allowed it to happen. They will not want that to happen.

Nobody is showing up claiming to be the dead person and then allowed to vote. The cost of a one on one fraudulent vote allowability is enormous. What these claims really mean and what is really going on because of them is more gerrymandering that in the end is designed to make voting harder for everyone.

In America especially we find that god had himself born of flesh as his own son so that you could accept and love him in order to avoid punishment because of a rule that god himself had made. If this is not done we find that this loving god will burn you forever. You must also respect his mother who is in heaven with him, and if you need something pray to her and she will do special pleading to him on your behalf. Believers of different faiths have modified versions of how this all works.

Christmas & Evolution

DenoPenno comments on Dec 27, 2021:

Joseph was the father of Jesus according to the bibble because it gives the genealogy in the gospels and gives it wrongly at one point, prompting the ignorant to say it also includes his genealogy through Mary. The thing is, the Jews did not include lineage through women except matrilineal lineage. It means if your mother was a Jew you are also. The next thing you deal with here is that scriptures claim Mary was with child because "the Holy Ghost came upon her" and various other passages where todays ignorant are lead to believe that God got Mary pregnant or that Mary saved her own ass by telling the "big lie." Some want to believe this one so badly that they have Mary being the first person screwing around on an old man and she told the lie and got away with it. Not so smart and other beliefs have similar stories. Reality has that ignorant old man Joseph being holy and full of the Holy Ghost. How hard would it be to imagine his desire would overcome him? How would a person in that day and time say they could not wait until they got a license or that they had sex early? The ignorant can claim that Joseph and Mary had sex "never" because Mary was "married to God." This fits right in with religious tradition which deifies both Mary and Jesus. Catholics make a lot of money with this idea and many others also follow along in their own way doing the same.

They are going out of their way to celebrate something that never happened. I recall years ago in Mad Magazine that one of the 3 wise men brought a gift of Frankenstein instead of frankincense. The serious thing that believers never looked at is that the 3 men brought 3 gifts that were literally incense. OK, we are talking about a manger here. That means a stable for animals.

I strongly suggest that if you do not like this ask the government for that form where you opt out and get all your tax money back or opt out and no longer pay taxes that are used for other services. Also try not to buy food, cars, property, etc. so YOUR MONEY cannot be used to help others. I see you in that line claiming SOMEBODY HAS TO PAY FOR IT when you have no clue how government works.

Doctors claim that after 6 months of chemo she will be operated on and even keep her breast. The cancer is about 1.7 cm in size and they know very little else at this point. The claim is that if they remove it now will it cause some problem in the future. They kill it with chemo and then operate. As for my relationship with both daughters, it was not always this way or this close. I was not a good parent as a younger man and I find that most of us grow in our lives and get better at things. Also, you cannot exactly control beliefs. Imagine people inside a church that claim they all believe the same. Think on that for a moment because we know that they do not. It is an illusion. We all have the illusion of our beliefs.

Is the USA on the brink of financial collapse?

Yes, Biden is printing money but no extra money was printed under Trump and his GOP did not give a damn about balancing a budget. Shoe is on the other foot now. Into your bank question, all I see is new banks being built all the time. There must be a market for these banks or someone is really losing money here. Meanwhile, my grandaughter is getting into bitcoin bigtime. She is always out for a grift. I'm wondering when sticks or rocks will become the new money.

Nice song but I hate snow. Almost freezing in it is why. Back to the music again, I'm sure almost everyone remembers that Pat Boone made a career out of reclaiming popular songs for whitey. Yep. He drank milk, wore white shoes, and baptized people in his swimming pool.

And this is about what? I'm not into tiktok but my youngest daughter and myself are no strangers to these words.

Most of us know that communism is bad. So is fascism. Most people I know do not want either one.

I just don't get this one. No real pic and proceeds are going to help children exiting foster care find jobs. Why would it be harder for kids that were in foster care to find a job? Seems like a typical Trump grift.

The problem here is that Carpenter filed the lawsuit. It shows that her and those backing her want to make a big deal of this and bring religion into play. We see nor hear nothing about the same sex couple filing a lawsuit.

Will a Stand Your Ground Self-Defense Claim Save Black Oklahoma Man Who Killed White Intruder?

Everyone needs to understand that gods have nothing to do with this. The second thing is that Bratcher had an expired grower license. Believe it or not they will use this fact in trying to get around the stand your ground clause. It will be painted by the prosecutors that he is almost a felon already because of this so stand your ground should not apply. The way white supremacy worked out in my neck of the woods is that November 3rd a black man was shot and killed by a white man using the "castle clause" in Missouri law. That white man was arrested and later released. The black man he murdered was outside his house the entire time and no threat at all. His family has protested to make law enforcement take a better look at this. Lazily, they appear to be looking closer. It is slow, and now video of the shooting has also emerged.

Hi. So, I posted this: "Hello, Nonbelievers! Where do you meet?

How millions of jobless Americans can afford to ditch work [cnn.com]

DenoPenno comments on Dec 18, 2021:

There is also what I see in my area. A great amount of people do not live alone. This means others can carry them if they have no work. Some of these people have kids and we know they are drawing money. Throw in the fact that government can fix things by giving a stimulus to anyone making $100,000 a year or less, plus they draw extra money on the kids. It is way too much money. This all started with Trump and carries over into Biden. Nice job, government. Way to go. I saw such a person that I know personally and she looked like walking death. She had extra money that led her back into dopey ways. Many others just make up excuses and live with their friends. Your former employer is limited to only verifying the time that you worked for them. Unemployment knows nothing more than what is reported. This is the law. To work or not to work? Nice job, government.

What make this interesting is that the lost faith in Trump. Why do I have "faith" in anyone, president or otherwise? Person of this mindset is destined to be disappointed.

Thanks, Steve. I just had to throw this in. "Woke Leftists?" My how they turn the tide. It reminds me of Trumper relatives telling me that Trump and Ted Nugent were "woke" and I am not "woke." LMAO here.
