Remember The Fringe Religous Zealots We Used to Laugh At? They are Mainstream and Politicians Now.

It came to me like a flood when I was watching the 2001 Movie "Bubble Boy". The theme was a Boy Kept Sheltered by his wacked out religious family. The Boy was in love with a girl next door whom his mother called "The Whore Next Door"
The movie would go on to make fun of typical Teenage Sins such as waking up with a hardon, which his loon mother dealt with by having him say the Pledge of Allegiance over and over again until it went away.
This fit the narrative as the boy did not have indoctrinated public schooling and instead learned alternative facts from his mother.
Sound familiar? 
I was raised fairly conservative and not being allowed to watch movies that other "kids" my age could, such as Star Wars, Red Dawn and even Police Acadamy. In fact my sister had to argue to get her ears pierced when she was 16. Why? because the Bible says its a Sin.
With that said they did not limit us as much as other "Bible" families or communities. Do you remember the movie Footloose with Kevin Bacon? Yea that was loosely based on a real Town in Oklahoma where Dancing was forbidden as it caused people to become intoxicated and sexually aroused.
Sounds absurd but it gets worse as I've personally met families who believe Dancing wakes the Devil, is this what they are referring? Who knows it is so absurd, yet that is the point of this post, absurd fringe Ideas which are mainstream.
To make it worse they now have Universities teaching "Alternative Science" and even "Law"
As religious as we were growing up we never doubted Evoluti8on and I never heard of the Earth only being 6k years old until an argument with my Egangilical Cousin who was about to graduate College with his Associate Degree.
He truly believed Noah Saved the Dinosaurs, Truly.
Now I find out there are non Evolutionary Biologists, Really?
Now that's goofy, but the Governor of Montana, a wealthy business man who used computer science and the science of marketing to make himself very wealthy. Now here is the problem with Socirty, we often relate intelligence with success. While Gov Giaforte did use science his understanding of science in general is appalling. Believing in the myth of noah is ok, but to believe the Earath is only 6k years old is fucking ignorant. To make it worse he stated people do not need to retire as Noah lived to be a few hundred years old.

Religous nutters in offices in other states have went so far as to push to make Abortion and even a Miscarriage criminal. 
When a Miscarriage Becomes a Crime (elle.com)
We have the county Clerk in Kentuckt who became famous for denying homosexuals a marriage license as the Bible says homosexuality is an Abomination, that is True but it also says Adultery is a cardinal sin to which she was guilty in a previous marriage.
I would also mention that the Bible also does not allow a woman to have voice over a man. Do we really want that mainstream?
It gets worse when these kind of people are on the Board of Education to decide what is in our Text Books. Netflix has a great mini documentary on this dealing with the Texas Board of Education, 
Netflix USA: The Revisionaries is available on Netflix for streaming (newonnetflix.com)
The point is this people, you have the right to believe as you choose and you will, but you do not have the right to push that belief on other people, that is our Fist Amendment Right to speak and worship freely but also to be free from religious ideology forced on us from the Government.
We already have a Conservative Supreme court that has not been this radical in nearly a Century, that's bad enough. We are likely to see a repeal of rights and things we now take for granted, there is almost nothing you can do about it.

Lets put it back on the fringe where it belongs, or so help me I am going to make VooDoo mainstream and start putting pins in Dolls.

Madman and Conservative Icon, Rush Limbaugh is dead!

 I'm old enough to remember when Rush was considered a fringe entertainment wingnut not taken seriously by virtually anyone in Government and only a source of information for people who had a problem with reality. 

I'm not going to say I never listened to him, I did and found his parodies funny but his attempt at anything factual and news related at a level of Stupid I could not relate to. He was however often all that was on when driving rural MT in the late 90s.
Most I know found his parodies entertaining but claimed otherwise for his information.
At some point he became a symbol of the voice on the right and a legitimate source of information for misguided millions.
I think this was mostly during the Obama years when scared whites terrified of a negro in charge looked for a bigot to comfort their fears, honestly its all I can come up with.
According to wikipedia he was born a silver spoon to a Lawyer Father and a family full of lawyers including a uncle appointed to Fed Status under W Bush. 
"According to his mother, "He Flunked everything, he just did not seem interested in anything but radio. Wikepedia.
That pretty much sums up what I thought about him, dumb as the day is long with a big mouth and a dishonesty 
not known in anyone save those mentally defective or paid propogandists.
Day after day he spun half-truths and deliberately lied to the delight of millions. To make it worse his rhetoric was clearly seditious
as he had no problem lying with the apparent purpose of destroying the US government. 
 He lied about the Clintons, Trump, Climate Change, how our Government worked and everything in-between.
Be it just a delusional idiot or paid, he was dangerous to Americas peace and stability and symbolized everything that is 
wrong with America today.
He is a clear example how the right has lost its mind with a inability to touch on reality in any capacity.
We need to talk, a entire movement built around someone clearly mad is troubling and its getting worse.

The Poem we have all needed to hear; Amanda Gorman

 I won't lie, I am not much for poems being spoken, nor did I car for her verbal presentation, however reading it is flat out amazing. 
Thank you, young lady.

“The Hill We Climb” Amanda Gorman When day comes we ask ourselves, where can we find light in this never-ending shade? The loss we carry, a sea we must wade. We’ve braved the belly of the beast, we’ve learned that quiet isn’t always peace and the norms and notions of what just is, isn’t always justice. And yet the dawn is ours before we knew it, somehow we do it, somehow we’ve weathered and witnessed a nation that isn’t broken but simply unfinished. We, the successors of a country and a time where a skinny black girl descended from slaves and raised by a single mother can dream of becoming president only to find herself reciting for one. And, yes, we are far from polished, far from pristine, but that doesn’t mean we are striving to form a union that is perfect, we are striving to forge a union with purpose, to compose a country committed to all cultures, colors, characters and conditions of man. So we lift our gazes not to what stands between us, but what stands before us. We close the divide because we know to put our future first, we must first put our differences aside. We lay down our arms so we can reach out our arms to one another, we seek harm to none and harmony for all. Let the globe, if nothing else, say this is true: that even as we grieved, we grew, even as we hurt, we hoped, that even as we tired, we tried, that we’ll forever be tied together victorious, not because we will never again know defeat but because we will never again sow division. Scripture tells us to envision that everyone shall sit under their own vine and fig tree and no one should make them afraid. If we’re to live up to our own time, then victory won’t lie in the blade, but in in all of the bridges we’ve made. That is the promise to glade, the hill we climb if only we dare it because being American is more than a pride we inherit, it’s the past we step into and how we repair it. We’ve seen a force that would shatter our nation rather than share it. That would destroy our country if it meant delaying democracy, and this effort very nearly succeeded. But while democracy can periodically be delayed, but it can never be permanently defeated. In this truth, in this faith, we trust, for while we have our eyes on the future, history has its eyes on us, this is the era of just redemption we feared in its inception we did not feel prepared to be the heirs of such a terrifying hour but within it we found the power to author a new chapter, to offer hope and laughter to ourselves, so while once we asked how can we possibly prevail over catastrophe, now we assert how could catastrophe possibly prevail over us. We will not march back to what was but move to what shall be, a country that is bruised but whole, benevolent but bold, fierce and free, we will not be turned around or interrupted by intimidation because we know our inaction and inertia will be the inheritance of the next generation, our blunders become their burden. But one thing is certain: if we merge mercy with might and might with right, then love becomes our legacy and change our children’s birthright. So let us leave behind a country better than the one we were left, with every breath from my bronze, pounded chest, we will raise this wounded world into a wondrous one, we will rise from the golden hills of the West, we will rise from the windswept Northeast where our forefathers first realized revolution, we will rise from the lake-rimmed cities of the Midwestern states, we will rise from the sunbaked South, we will rebuild, reconcile, and recover in every known nook of our nation in every corner called our country our people diverse and beautiful will emerge battered and beautiful, when the day comes we step out of the shade aflame and unafraid, the new dawn blooms as we free it, for there is always light if only we’re brave enough to see it, if only we’re brave enough to be it.

With Lame Charges against the January Sixth Terrorists; Militia's now Control America, you should be terrified.

 It goes without saying that this has been building for years. 
From the Bundy Standoff it seemed to escalate as the Feds pretty much just let Armed Lunatics point firearms at Federal Agents and threaten to kill anyone, were allowed to go home. 
Light charges were filed here and there which of course did little. 
They would again Emerge in Oregon taking over a bird sanctuary resulting in a standoff where one would rightfully die when engaging with a FBI Agent. 
Of all things the Agent would be Charged and of course the Hammonds, who had nothing to do with the Standoff, for illegally burning government property while trying to cover up their Poaching. 
Real standup Citizens. 
Slaps on the wrists abounded and more community service for people to clean up cemeteries. 
Everyone laughed as we knew they were low IQ, however unlike the Negro who robbed a liqure store and faces years in Prison, little would happen to the white boys since their Illegal Cause somehow caught the hearts and minds of poorly  informed and thought out politicians. 

Fast forward to the Trump years with despicable sack of shit after despicable sack of shit, including the Hammonds being pardoned. 
Further Emboldened and realizing they faced no real ramifications, the nutbag movement intensified to taking over multiple State Court Houses with again, slaps on the wrist and minor charges thrown at them.

To make matters worse, throughout the last four years, hell before that, I have heard threat after threat of people wanting Democrats and anyone they did not like, executed. 
This should have been a given considering  Trump baselessly wanted Hillary "locked up" and made it a campaign slogan. If you did not realize it, Republicans spent six years Demonizing Hillary, not because she was guilty of Crimes, but because they knew who the Democrats darling would eventually be. 
If you are not smart enough to figure it out, she was not guilty of anything they claimed, don't get me wrong, her Emails pissed me off, it was careless, unethical and should have been the removal of her from her position, however as investigations, plural proved, they were not Illegal. 

Then came lockdowns and Sheriffs, misinformed by Radical Right Wing Media sources decided they did not need to follow Mandates and openly came out against other Elected Officials of more power in favor of a Mentally Deficient President and Radical Right Wing Media emulating Fascist Talking points from the 1920s-30s. 

So here we are, just three days after a Insurrection of Terrorists who wanted to take Congress Hostage to Install America's first Dictator who decided Elections. 

We all saw them lining up, we all knew it was coming and knew it would be a shitshow but hoped that the radical right wing shills in the Justice Department and Feds would Arrest the Ring Leaders and tame the beast before it started. 

The Head of the Proud Boys would be arrested, which is good but not enough as thousands, programmed to hate the institution that they have a say in, stood outside and screamed at their free Press and then some attacked the boys in blue they profess to love. 
Most stood up to the mob and did what they could with little to fight back with. 
Seemingly no Water Canons, no Tear Gas and Rubber Bullets apparently not being manufactured anymore, they woudl have nearly 60 of their own injured and one MURDERED by a insurgent intent on kidnapping Congress. 

It did not matter who was in the building, they wanted blood and they wanted those within the building to not be independent entities, but minions of their Chosen Leader, a leader who constantly makes policies that shits all over them. 
Maybe that's always the case, it seems to be. Perhaps their YouTube fame would be all they needed. 

Dozens have been arrested with charges that amount to community service in the long run being filed. 
Men who have no respect for America's institutions are proven right again as spineless prosecutors slap them on the wrist and tell them to go clean up a cemetery with "Time Served" 

The Armed Mobs are watching, smiling and licking their lips. 

They also saw all those paid to protect the American people simply stepping aside, one even taking a selfie with them. 

They know they enjoy broad support from a Military that apparently has never read the US Constitution or does not care. 

They know the Police will stand with them as Democrats have done their best to distance themselves from the people who otherwise would have protected them. 
Some will do their job, but it will go quickly. 

Now that brings to this post, on the 19th they have said they will come back. Trump will likely still be in office as our Inept Government is horribly divided and afraid to simply do their fucking job, Arrest Trump, His Son, Rudy and the Other Ring Leaders, instead they argue over nothing. 
For god sakes this is the one thing we all should agree on, why are we not?

At some point realizing they are now in control, you will see the Armed Militia's standing in the streets, extorting payments, deciding who lives and dies and generally being the thugs they are. 

I spent my entire life believing the good gun owners of this country would fight to stop Tyranny, I never dreamed in my wildest dreams they would be in large part  supporting this, and those who do not, simply doing nothing. 

Every Dictator has their armed militias do their bidding, now our own Second Amendment will bite us in the ass and cause great harm in the future. 

In the event it does not get as bad as I think it will, it still will never be the same. Officials across America have had their lives threatened and many quit their jobs over it. 

America is not a first world nation, is not safe and you all should be beyond terrified.

The Supreme Court got the latest ruling wrong regarding Churches, here is why.




Certain places are risky with Bars and Restaurants being among the worst, churches are not far behind simply do to talking and loudly when people are singing. When you sing you force more water Droplets out which is how the Virus is transmitted as it needs a means to move. The more pushing water particles into the air, the more of a chance people will inhale those particles. In a enclosed environment the air is not moving so the particles can hang out or catch very slow currents. That is why the CDC Recommends after being in a enclosed environment for 15 minutes with someone who has been infected to self quarantine.
But they are all wearing masks?
Well this is how we go back to the Fauci statement that became so controversial early on, he worried people would have the false idea that masks, all masks would completely protect you.
Masks work not by catching the virus itself but by catching the water droplets expelled through your mouth, they need a means to move and that is it. Those droplets are then caught by whatever type mask you are wearing with varying efficiency. A N95 is the best with well over 95 percent efficiency both directions. A Quality Medical Mask is 90 percent expulsion but only ten percent inhaling. Cloth Cotton usually is around 40 percent with Fleece actually increasing the odds as it creates larger water droplets, so those are completely fucking bad.
Next people have to know how to know how to wear a mask and most simply do not even know to pinch the fucking metal tab above the nose, the tighter the fit of the mask the better it works. If the air goes out through the nose or out the sides then the virus is escaping.
If you are wearing even the best for Viral Protection the N95 you will be forcing more air out and trust me, having worn one a ton in construction, the air will go out the side thus reducing its effectiveness.
SO yea, Churches are a terrible place to be right now.
Next time you tell someone who mentions goat gang bangs they need to think for themselves, you should know you are in for it.
Turn off Faux, in fact, turn off everything right, their understanding of every science save Marketing is beyond abysmal.

Are Landlords Wealthy and are Rentals a Good Investment?

 There is a Myth that Landlords are Wealthy, I am sure that some indeed, may be, I am not.

The Typical American is Mathematical Illiterate which is where I think this comes from along with piss poor business school teachers who's investment experience comes from watching MarketWatch, so lets do a quick breakdown.
Lets say you have the money to purchase a home for the astronomically low price of 149k and can afford to put the 20 percent down which is 29,800. IF you get a 30 year fixed rate at 2.75 percent with your typical taxes and insurance your payment will be 712 per month. I also should include your typical closing costs are 4 percent so your total down needed would be 35760 at closing.
Now lets say you it is a two bedroom house and you are pulling in 900 per month that leaves you a 188 per month to supposedly pocket bringing your total profits for the year to 2256. So Ten Rentals nets you 22560 per year. Provided you put the same down on each house you would have invested 290800 in down payments alone. That belies the fact that for each house if you were to pay for 30 years (Idiot if anyone does) you would pay 256320 for that house.
Now if you are lucky enough to keep those renters in for longer than the Six month lease., your profits go up, however every time someone moves out you are looking at some sort of maintenance and hopefully at the worst you will use their deposit and at other times if they go beyond their deposit then you will lose that extra money as they simply will not pay, so out of your pocket.
Now mind you, property does equate leverage however it also more often than not means debt,
So take that money, invest in a college education and stop your bitching about the abysmal "50k debt" you spent to make 50k Plus each year off that education.
Wish I had, I would be way better off in that regard, however I purchased Rentals as a means for retirement as I have noticed most people will lose their pensions and 401k is not retirement. So while I have managed to dedicate myself and push to do better than most, I am by no means wealthy. This post should also put down the fucking lie of "Buying two rentals and retiring" Look anyone in the face who tells you that and simply say "You are a liar, I can do math"

Dear Conservatives, I do not know if you realize it, but you are opposite of what the Bible actually teaches.

  I suppose for those of us who have read the Bible, being at the point where Gods word is no longer followed really is nothing new. The Bible is filled full of instances where God, Frustrated  by his own creation, not following his word are destroyed, only to be resurrected by  a handful of his "Saviors"


So here are  are today at an impasse where those who are hiding under God's benolovant  seem to follow Ideals that are not his, so here is a quick summary for those  of you who think you can be a Conservative and follow an Abrahamic Religion. 

First, we will start out with something incredibly simple, the Ten  Commandments. 

 Though Shall not put any Gods before me-  That means  money, President,  Country etc  

Though Shall Not make any graven Image- 45

Though  Shall Not Take  the Lords Name  In  Vain- That pretty  much does mean  "Goddamn  it" which  you use constantly, it also refers to following his wishes and not having Idols. 

Though Shall not Kill- No, that does  not mean  unless they are  scary brown people from the area where the Bible Originated. 

Though Shall  Not Commit Adultery- No, that does not mean it's  ok once,  nor does them being hot and  you  horny a pass, it also means with your eyes as  well 

Though  Shall  Not Covet Thy Neighbors Possessions- This pretty much damns any American. 

Honour they Father and They Mother- This does not mean The Military and Trump  

Remember the  Sabbath  and  Keep it Holy- Yea,that does  not seem  compatible  at all  with Conservatives work every day and  hour Mantra  

Though Shall  Not Steal- That means  elections too  

Though  Shall  Not Bear False Witness against your Neighbor-  No  Matter how much you hate that Liberal, he is following Jesus word more than you,  and no you cannot crap on him just to get him  out of the way. 


At this point you should be looking in the mirror thinking what a bad Christian/Jew you really are, but I  am  sure you want to continue,  so we shall again,  keep it simple with the  Seven  Deadly Sins,  which are a culmination of  things from the  bible you should take as an overall  Message. 
This Meme also includes the Seven Virtues. 






So now that we have established you are pretty much doing it all,  wrong,  now what?
Well  lets  take  on the hot topics of the west currently 

Immigration; The Bible about welcoming Immigrants as it starts out with Adam and Eve who had to leave the Garden of Eden to go live with everyone else. It then goes on to the book of Exodus which is a book all about the Struggle of Jews in the land of the  Egyptians.  
I could post up all kinds of Versus  for  this one, but I will  again, keep it simple 

Jeremiah7:5-7
For if you truly amend your ways and  your doings, if you act justly one with another, if you do not oppress the alien,  the orphan, and the widow,  or shed innocent blood in this place, and if you do not go after other gods to your own  hurt then I will dwell with you in this place,  in the land that I gave of old to your ancestors forever and ever.

Zechariah 7:9-10
Thus says the Lord  of hosts:  Render true judgements, show kindness and mercy to one another, do not oppress the widow, the alien, or the poor,  and do not devise evil in your hearts against one another.


You  know that DACA controversy?  Yea,  it literally  according  to YOUR book should not be  an issue at all  

Ezekiel 47:22
You shall allot it as an inheritance for yourselves and for the aliens who reside among you and have begotten children among you.  They shall be to you as citizens of Israel:With you they shall be allotted an inheritance among the tribes of Israel. 


Romans 12:13
Contribute to the needs of the saints, extend hospitality to strangers. 
Ohh, so Confusing, but those damned poor, communists want to give them everything!

Job 29:15-17
I was eyes to the blind, and feet to the lame. I was father to the needy and I championed the cause of the stranger. I broke the fangs of the unrighteous and made them drop their prey from their teeth. 


Deuteronomy 15:11 
For there will never cease to be poor in the land. Therefore I command you, you shall open wide your hand to your brother, to the needy and to the poor in your hand. 

Deuteronomy 15:7-8
If among you, one of your brothers should become poor, any of your towns within your land that the lord your god is giving you You shall not harden your heart or shut your hand against your poor brother, but you shall open your hand to him and lend him to sufficient for his need, whatever it may be. 


Luke 14:13-14
He said also to the man who had invited him, "When you give a dinner or a banquet, do not invite your friends or your brothers or your relatives or rich neighbors, les they also invite you in return and be repaid. 
But own you give a feast, invite the poor, the crippled the lame, the blind and you will be blessed, because they cannot repay you. For you will be repaid at the resurrection of the just. 


The Bible not only commands you to give to the poor, it is not so kind to the wealth you are seeking.


Luke 12:33-34
Sell your possessions and give to the needy. Provide yourselves with moneybags, that do not grow old, with a treasure in the heavens that does not fail, where no thief approaches and no moth destroys. For where your treasure is, there will your heart also be. 

Leviticus 19:9-10
When you reap the harvested of your land, you shall not reap your field right up to its edge, neither shall you gather the gleanings after your harvest. You shall not strip your vineyard bare, neither shall you gather the fallen grapes to your vineyard. You shall leave them for the poor and for the sojourner. I am the lord your god. 

1Timothy 6:10
For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evils. It is through this craving that some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many pangs. 

Mathew 6:24
No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve god and money. 



Abortion?
Well up until now you are probably thinking, well  this bible is pretty good, yea it has some 
redeeming points, however in this area, well did you know the jews do not think a  fetus has a soul?
Not only do 85 percent of Israeli's approve of abortion, but it is also so common that the US essentially pays for it with their massive aid to Israel.

Hosea  13:16
The People of Samaria must bear their guilt because they have rebelled against their god. They will fall by the sword, their little ones will be dashed to the ground their pregnant women ripped open.

In fact, the bible even  gives directions on how to abort a fetus.
This is a long one and you best visit it yourself 
Numbers 5:11-31

this water that brings a  curse to enter your body  so that your abdomen swells or your womb miscarries"

Well shit...
