  1. 85 now, 91 hi, 60 lo. Far less smoke today… it went someplace else (hopefully not south – towards Henry & Laura).

  2. If it’s any consolation, Henry, this is my take on the near future of Christianity (you’ve seen it before, but it bears repeating)…

    The next 9/11 false flag will be blamed on a Christian (white, male), or group of (fundamentalist, likely) Christians, not Muslims. They’ve already demonized the Muslims sufficiently for their purposes, now they need a NEW ‘enemy’ for the populace to focus on.

    Chitcago is my top choice as to location… seen too much sh#t happen in the last couple decades to that sh#thole in the movies, ALL bad.

    1. These people believe that they are the true Israelites and that the United States is the the true Israel. At least this is what one of them told me. They cannot no more leave we goyim alone than the Kazars.
      I heard a lot of things growing up, like I know that it is taught that the black people are the beasts of the field, hence animals. Like I said the other day, my dad was a “hard core southern Baptist”. These beliefs are very old and there is no room in such a world for anyone but the chosen and the unbelievers who, through their failure to go along, join with the beasts of the field.
      The Bill of Rights is the only chance there has ever been for a people of free individual thought to live peaceably and happily among one another. And if you don’t want that, well just what do you want?

  7. Thank you Henry, precise breakdown of the religious fanatics!
    I don’t give a penny to anyone that desires to rule over me when I can help it. Now property tax, car inspection & registration, insurance, etc.. are definitely extracting my pennies of which when we win this fight and our country back ,this thieving will cease.

  9. I’m sorry you had to endure threats today, Henry. How vile and ugly. Please try to have a nurturing weekend.

    On another note, I had a similar experience to you, when I first ran into creationism a couple of decades back, working at the elementary school. Took my group of 8 yr olds to weekly library visit. While they selected their books I browsed and read to see what that age group was being offered. Picked up a book on natural history and lo and behold, there on the first page:

    “Humans have been on the earth about 8 thousand years.”

    Surely this is a misprint, thought I. At break I dutifully rush over to report this “mistake” to the principal:

    “Mrs, Ellis, look at this!!”

    I show her the passage.

    And I wait.

    And then, after many long seconds, her response, of which I kid you not:

    “Well, I want them to be exposed to all points of view.”

    I try to stay composed. But unable to be silent I bring up anthropology and archeology. Talk dinosaurs and carbon 14. Another teacher butts in:

    “None of that has been proven.”

    Well, maybe it hasn’t but… here I am, surrounded by my own personal Bible Belt, and it’s getting tighter. I wanted to take each by the collar and shake and holler, but my job on the line, I just walked away, planning to soon seek new employment.

    Checking back at the library, I saw that there were shelves full of similar material. Oh, the mess, it’s church and state and campus.
