Fox News hosts urge viewers to fly despite health officials' warnings - Business Insider

DenoPenno comments on Mar 15, 2020:

Whether you knew it or not it is my understanding that Trump has a 30 day ban on flights in and out of America, but this does not include the UK. Maybe that is because he has 3 golfing clubs over there. We have to be able to fly to Trump-A-Lago. Closer analysis might show that we are in a manipulated scam.

No Milk, No Bleach: Americans Awake to Coronavirus Panic Buying

DenoPenno comments on Mar 15, 2020:

i hear ya. I was in Walmart and Aldi locally in mid-Missouri today and the bare aisles for no real reason are idiotic. I overheard one man say to buy something anyway because they could freeze it. Virus pandamonium rules and a Walmart insider told me they are not worried about the panic buying because it has put them ahead on their projected sales. A closer look tells me this is what the current urgency is all about. We are being manipulated and scammed. Just wait now for the business bailout we will be hit with. The top 1 percent want even more of our money. Don't worry. You can take on another job. Anyone see a possible pattern here?

Hannity Claims Deep State May Be Using Coronavirus to Hurt Economy Fox News host and unofficial...

DenoPenno comments on Mar 14, 2020:

Hannity is just another moron. He hopes people will overlook or not hear Steve Bannon when Bannon admits in an interview that he and Trump made up the "deep state." People cannot even get the term "fake news" correct as that term is something Trump made up because Media was not kind to him. Now here is the biggie. Trump is a germaphobe and not really so concerned about this new coronavirus. The great pandemic is actually proving to cause the public pandamonium and also producing bare shelves in many stores along with idiotic outrage. It may get worse yet as Trump proposes more bailouts for the super rich. This could also result in a total suspension of the 2020 election. Think about that and where this could be going. We are all being scammed. It started for certain before our last election. It is the current great experiment going on in America and affecting most of the rest of the world as well.

DenoPenno comments on Mar 13, 2020:

This is funny and it seems to fit. Let me go a step farther and say it is outright whacko. When these girls grow up will they be able to remember it that way or still be so deeply ingrained in nonsense that they see it as real, needed, and biblical. I did a little research on the overloaded buying of t-paper. It is a control issue involving wanting to be clean. Anyone who ever had the flu knows that you do not use any more or less of t-paper. As for the water buying, some are into that bigtime. I suppose it all depends on how bad your water was in the first place and how much you trust bottled water makers. (I don't.) A young man at my work wants to say this new coronavirus is "so much easier to catch" than flu and he got that from Fox Noise. When I told him I had had the flu at least 4 times in my life he acted concerned and said he was very healthy and had never got it at 22. He also guessed that I watch CNN when in reality I watch world news from all over the planet. His mentality reminds me a lot of the two young girls you met.

OK, you can't safely drink Lysol but I'm betting you might beat coronavirus once you have it a bit easier if you try my Clorox water treatment. It's just a thought.

This crap is all over You Tube and has many books about it. Do they have sources? Not really. Just like religious believers they want to know everything and they make it up. Often this is because of how a statue looks or because we cannot fully explain something. It doesn't mean any of it has evidence unless you are willing to believe it in advance. I might add that we as a people think we came from the stars and we have often even named our cars with star and planet names. It does not mean that our cars came from somewhere else.

Please relate to us a time or times in your life when your production of EVIDENCE altered a judgment...

DenoPenno comments on Mar 8, 2020:

I sort of invent things to alter problem areas in carpentry and design as well as some things mentally. This comes from my inner desire to save money and not spend senselessly. In the end it spills over into inner workings of how I think and is responsible for needed changes in design or procedure. I hate change and yet this is all needed change. I see changes in my thinking and designs in just the last 2 years. Some things involving my shower door were actually dangerous. You make changes to better yourself. Sometimes you find a shortcut or a better way than what you were doing before. I have designed my own lightweight TV antenna and it works very well. I have no plans of changing it. The EVIDENCE of how well something works is usually enough for me, but in time everything changes. I read once that Ben Franklin invented a stove and the smoke it produced drove him out of his house. This inspired him to invent a chimney. I believe the story. In his kite flying days, however, he is lucky he did not get killed. I feel that way sometimes myself and this is why I come to a point of changing my previous judgment. Unlike Franklin I am not leaving inventions behind, just bettering myself. To keep up I have to change a previous idea or judgment all the time.

From Valentines to loving, it just never ends. Bumper stickers like "I (heart) NY." It is amazing. Now, if the truth be told all of those people inside that church believing of one heart and mind is just a lie. The minister takes you to that point where you think everyone believes the same but it simply is not true. To prove it just try asking them later and separately what they believe.

There you have it again. Big Pharma wins and countries smaller than us have so much more wealth than us. Besides that it is socialism but Trump bailing out the farmers is not socialism.

Coming up now to fellow humans we would control them, persecute them, and even murder them but again this is only allowed by group. It is the group that is elite. Doing any of this as an individual could end up with bad consequences and even charges of murder. Sorry Donnie. Thanks but no thanks.

A useful test to see where you stand politically; See the image below to see my profile.

So I am 11% left and 41% liberal. Isn't the left liberal? The test says I am a "communitarian." I'm not sure what that is and I view a lot of questions in the test as stacked questions. It seems to me the questions are written by some of our current regime conservatives. I found this confusing and I looked up "communitarian." Communitarianism is a philosophy that emphasizes the connection between the individual and the community. Its overriding philosophy is based upon the belief that a person's social identity and personality are largely molded by community relationships, with a smaller degree of development being placed on individualism.

In my opinion what is happening is that the DNC is insistent on "business as usual" and they do not like anything or anybody who is progressive. Obama even warned us all to avoid things progressive. Isn't that just wonderful. It worked out great in the last election. So now, we have Mayor Pete and others dropping out. What these candidates would hope for is that someone actually getting the nomination would keep them in mind for some office and appointment and they could stir their supporters towards the stronger candidate. There we go. Business as usual again. (Hello, Trump. Welcome back..) The tide has turned slightly with Bloomberg in the race. To me it means that we have to acknowledge that money is behind all of this and "we the people" are now being offered a choice of which type of oligarchy we want to control us. Whatever happens we are still the product. I think many of us know this deep down and that fact is at the base of a lot of the anger that I see. Our "rulers" cannot be honest with us and we know it but we cannot admit it.

What do you suppose gives rise to and supports belief in God?

If you cannot explain it and it also perplexes you in some way, then god did it. Apply the same in some way for your personal situation as it unfolds daily and god does it. People do this because they search for answers and have to have answers. In my personal daily experiences everything works out for me. This is because my mind is working in the background wanting things to work out and I am actively doing this. A person does this without being aware of it but some use it as a claim (and proof) of a god. Common sense says it is hard to imagine a god who allows you to prosper from any endeavor including a yard sale. Oh, yes! God is watching out for me. Does any of this happen to other people? Yes, but in different ways because they are themselves while you are you. Therefore our journeys get personalized and we all have different wonders to tell.

This is almost beyond belief. It's hard to get a real grasp on this.

We had better watch this closely. I'm sure the Democrats are behind the Coronavirus and most likely it is sneaking into our country illegally through our Southern border with Mexico.
