DenoPenno comments on Feb 3, 2021:

In support of how true this meme is, I found a young man working in a local business who was on the phone telling someone "pray about it" as I walked into the store. This is the same young man who works for his parents and also lives with them. They have all told me openly that Jesus would be upset with all these giveaways.

DenoPenno comments on Feb 3, 2021:

That pretty much covers it. This only gets complicated more when some religions tell you Jesus and Lucifer were brothers. LOL

Did Biden and the democrats lie about the $2,000 stimulus checks?

DenoPenno comments on Feb 3, 2021:

Read up a little on this please. Trump wanted $2000 checks to go out but McConnell said no and we all got $600 instead. What the Biden camp now says is that we will all get $1400. I suppose this is to make up the difference? The claim is that some of us could be seeing this money by the later part of this month if we have direct deposit. For those who do not it might even go into April to get a paper check. There is contention on this matter right now, but a businessman friend of mine who is an avid Trump supporter, says he believes we will get the $1400. I agree with him.

Some Southern Baptist pastors are calling Kamala Harris 'Jezebel.' What do they mean?

DenoPenno comments on Feb 1, 2021:

Jezebel brought in the worship of Baal in the OT and got Ahab to do away with worship of Jahweh. If you apply this to Kamala Harris today the religious will say she is going to go for the worship of Indian gods and not the god of the bible. In other words, the ones making these claims are racist. It is plain and pure racism.

The History of the Satanic Panic and Its Disturbing Consequences | Hemant Mehta | Friendly Atheist |...

DenoPenno comments on Feb 1, 2021:

I remember these horrors very well. At the time it all got out of hand in the 1980's I lived in Texas and there was more than reported in this video. The so called "experts" and "social workers" had no real credibility or education in their fields but they were believed at the time. I recall one who was on a radio program claiming he actually witnessed a child sacrifice. His organization got rid of him quickly because he could not back up his lie. It did not stop the panic, however. I can certainly agree with Hemant that the phenomena at work then is much like QAnon is today.

My current ex is younger and also black, having come here from Kenya. Anyone can have a shallow mind, young or old. Life is what you make it.

I did not work that month and the virus played out in about 14 days. Later I had to have drugs for the pneumonia that I was left with. OK, maybe what I had was only the flu. The last time we had such a flu was in 1918. They called it Spanish Flu. As for trusting the healthcare system, I don't do that really. Other than the above I am my own doctor and take my own prescribed pills. I've been this way all of my life. In fact, I have very few prescribed doctor meds and take about 20 or more others daily on my own. Will I make it to 100? Flip a coin.

Those who might get free education or use HUD are the problem as well. They hate this coz they paid money. Oops! This reverses if they are using these programs. It's Ok then because they are white.
