Texas Abortion Ban: Woman Claims She Was Forced to Birth Stillborn Son – Rolling Stone

DenoPenno replies on May 24, 2023:

Run the risk and you might get another voter in the long run. It's a gamble on whether a mother might die or not and once the baby is born it is on its own, but that new voter prospect is the real gem. Also, religion has nothing to do with this belief they have. This is the GOP way and it all needs to be changed.

This is BS. You must be a friend and supporter of McCarthy.

DenoPenno replies on May 24, 2023:

@BDair I am aware of the many herbs and other treatments for high blood pressure as well as other ailments. Basically I take my meds and eat and drink whatever I want to. I tell my doctors that and it helps them understand me. Doctoring is a game that is played with the public. In 1980 I was told that my blood pressure was that of a teenager. To make sure everyone is on meds today they have greatly lowered the accepted pressure readings. Such is the world of medicine.

It reminds me of the scam involving asbestos home siding that so many houses had in the 1950s they say is dangerous and charge a fortune to remove .it’s not at all dangerous because it’s mixed with a type of cement to make it rigid.It was a good product

DenoPenno replies on May 21, 2023:

Reportedly children would chew at the lead paint because it was sweet. How you would know this without having at least chewed it once is beyond me. My stepdad became a professional painter and denied me a wonderful old wood table for fear that my young girls would chew the paint. This was many years before my table pic above, but dad destroyed and burned that table. My neighbor was going to let the trash service dispose of the table I have now. Now if we want to talk about paint, my opinion is that paint was never the same once the lead was removed. Lead is poison but so is fluoride. Lead was also removed from gasoline.

For those that fear it there should be legal age restrictions on anything transgender. A 6 year old does not know he is transgender. Even so, it appears the state does not have all of it's ducks in a row yet.

DenoPenno replies on May 21, 2023:

@snytiger6 The trend is to tell you that kids know very early. They also pretend because they are children. Adults still pretend but in a different way. LOL What I'm saying is that we should not start any sex change procedures on these young kids. If they are really transgender it will come out as reality when they are older. This is what all the left/right hassle about it is right now. Certain misinformed people actually believe we are wanting to cut Tommy's penis off and start making him into a girl at age 6. It's not happening.

After all a U.S. Passport doesn't cost much more than the "real IDs", and it allows me to travel ...

DenoPenno replies on May 13, 2023:

A lot of what you are saying here is spot on. Real ID is a device for voting control and mostly it is used to prevent black and brown people from voting. Common sense would say that finger printing would be the digital answer here and that would end the question of identity. It works for the FBI. It works on passports. In Missouri they want to say you need Real ID to be able to fly out of state or to other countries. Most of us know that a passport has the greater authority here, so I'm waiting for the lawsuits this Real ID idea will bring in the near future. OMG! Jose has crossed our Southern border and has taken over your identity. That idea is a total crock but in my area of Missouri local GOP activists continue to believe that busloads of illegals are showing up to vote regularly. This is insanity. It is an idea that could never be allowed and would never work.

Fernapple comments on May 12, 2023:

The "born in the wrong body" statement, is a metaphorical expression of the idea that the body, desired by the mind, does not match the physical body. Since it is only metaphorically intended, taking it literally, is a wonderful example of a straw-man fallacy.

DenoPenno replies on May 12, 2023:

@Thibaud70 I think I know exactly what "trans" means and a very young girl might be a tomboy but she is too young to think she really is a boy and in a wrong body. If I am wrong then why is trans a thing now in this day and time? The sexes did not suddenly change or wake up, etc. We have always had these people but they do not know at age 7 or 8. At that age they do not have the wisdom to transition from one sex to another as this is a complicated thing. I blame social media for a lot of this nonsense.

DenoPenno replies on May 12, 2023:

@MizJ Social Security is funded by an insurance program and Medicaid and Medicare come out of this also. Some call this a ponzi scheme but it comes from taxes removed from your income just for this purpose. The Feds dole out the money but it does not come out of government funding. It never has. They now say it will be solvent until at least 2034 or later. Again, all of this is NOT government money. FDR started the whole thing and the right tries harder and harder to remove it. My stepdad was also ex military but he had a pension coming from working at a high school and the government had nothing to do with that pension. Nothing at all.

DenoPenno replies on May 12, 2023:

According to the DMV here in Missouri recent utility bills that show dates and a letter heading are valid proof of who you are. OK, I thought that a valid Real ID license would be an ultimate proof too, but they say no. I suppose the great fear is that Jose crossed our border and stole your Real ID and identity. I say these things openly even at the DMV. Just being around me and talking with me would prove that if this was true I must be the perfect Manchurian Candidate.

I have a passport but it is expired. Not to worry. I can take a new pic and have it renewed easily at about $120 and it has nothing to do with Missouri. It is nice to have and lasts 10 years. I'm ex-military with 3 years active duty and my original passport came in quickly from New Orleans. I imagine that same paper trail is still there.

Now think how hard it is for the poor or homeless person to get an ID or drivers license. They are making things like this as hard and frustrating as possible, so more and more people will just give up and say "fuck it" I don't need it. Another great way to keep people from voting as well.

DenoPenno replies on May 11, 2023:

This is all very true and so many tell me they just need a regular license. They are not going to fly and there is no reason to have a special license. Real ID is a voter ID, so suddenly you are not going to vote and not fly either and you remain too ignorant to see what they have taken away from you.

I had a boss in Texas who was into acting and tried to get me into it also. He was often in scenes in the background watering animals or something while the main dialog between others goes on. Each gig would be something you go to and it would be 4 hours wait and you may find they cut your scene out so you were there for nothing. In those days MadHatter was a good agency and your portfolio would have your picture, what you like and are into, etc. Movie scenes with bike riders and truck drivers was very common and still is. You see these guys driving on the highway and do not know who they are, but they are actors also. I thought about it for a while but decided not to do it. I did meet a man who was in Urban Cowboy as a dancer. All he did was dance with a woman and I met him on a home repair call. He showed me photos and his paycheck stub, then pointed outside and said that was how he bought his big Harley. Acting is still a big hurry up and wait.

My favorites are my current Kenyan ex and one in Texas who died. The Texas wife had kids and I was like a stepdad. I often think the idea of 4 came out of my formative years and ignorant mistakes when my parents got into religion. We were all confused.

DenoPenno replies on May 1, 2023:

The strange thing here is that Raymond Burr was gay but he never played Perry that way. I haven't see the new show yet. Currently into binge watching Deputy with Stephen Dorff. I love this show but feel it missed in 2020 for political reasons. He simply refused to round of illegals and the homeless and was more into real crime.

[facebook.com] Has US really given up the unwinnable war in Ukraine?

DenoPenno comments on Apr 28, 2023:

I think it is all about the sale of weapons rather than whether the war is winnable. Arms dealers are there to make a profit and governments will tell us anything to make sure that they do. Many of us forget that in WW2 weapons were sold to everyone all at the same time. This is Capitalism for you.

@William_Mary OK. I'm not into any of the distractions and I already watch news broadcasts from all over the world. I have no favorite news stations. Lots of people tell me they watch programs that I do but they are lying. Most of them have never even traveled outside of their own state let alone knowing how to receive and watch International news programs. If these International programs still have me pegged as someone who is stuck on one news source then we are all lost in a world of disinformation.

BDair comments on Apr 26, 2023:

How did Dominion demonstrate damages to the tune of millions of dollars?

DenoPenno replies on Apr 26, 2023:

Nothing was demonstrated. A decision was made before trial because everyone knew that Dominion voting machines were not and could not switch votes from Trump to Biden. That idea is ridiculous. Now the lawsuit door is open for Smartmatic and others to follow. Murdoch will end up not being able to insure Fox for anything before this is over. The big crime, the big lie, was to give people what they wanted to see and hear. In this respect Fox News did produce. On one of my deliveries Tuesday I saw Fox News on and the big headline was that Hunter Biden is being brought up on a paternity lawsuit. I'm thinking Hillary's e-mails might have the answer for all of this.
