Hey You, Mr Smart Ass..........

Did you know your social security check, say for paying in 67 years of your short life, is now or will be much smaller that the amount of money an illegal alien receives after arriving in our nation for less than 5 minutes?

Pissed yet?

Too many criminals, not enough I.C.E. 

9/11/2001

There are politicians who rail against Trump for derailing  Iranian plans of enriching uranium to conduct nuclear bomb-making.

They must never heard of the horror of 9/11.

The twisted logic of their thinking is unfathomable.  

This is what they want.

"Here's an idea,  Iran wants a nuclear weapon, let's give them one!"

Moderna CEO STEPHANE BANCEL

Listening to the tout CEO, Stephane Bancel, is COVID all over again.

Have you ever wondered how bad Wall Street research is, well, look no farther than this guy's commentary.

Remember, Bancel is the goon who had the foresight to have his company produce 100,000 Covid 19 doses because they knew, (without a smidgen of doubt) that the pandemic would arrive!  Funny how that works isn't it?  

Bancel is now the loon of loons, stating to Sky News that, "It's like science fiction medicine."

You can't make this crap up.  Bancel is the best of the best in bullshit.

Here is what he says they do with enzymes they inject in you.  "We take a biopsy of your cancer.  We then next gen sequence it, meaning we read every letter of the 3 gigabytes of letters of your DNA of the cancer cell.  We do the same thing for a healthy cell.  We upload both on AWS and we compare every base to see where the mutations happened."

Mitch McConnell, John Thune

 No one seems to give a shit if Mitch is alive or dead.   It's crickets from the spineless GOP.

Where are the good people of Kentucky in all of this?   Isn't somebody up to finding out where he might be hiding and in what condition?  Is there a formal investigation for the American voters?

The following seem to be internet talking points.

- No urgency when being taken to the ambulance. 

- Wife IMMEDIATELY went to see the China VP with hours.

- Wife had floors replaced within days.  

- Junk man hauled off furniture from apartment McConnell controls next door to his home.

- Many 20 minute phone calls, but hasn't done a “Proof of Life”. And he hasn't been seen in a MONTH.

A sitting United States senator vanishes on June 14. His office goes silent for almost a month. Then it releases two photographs and a few paragraphs typed by staff, and we are supposed to call that proof he is fit to serve.

It proves nothing. During his disappearance, McConnell cast zero votes. None. The job Kentuckians pay him to do, the power he holds over your healthcare and your right to vote, and he simply stopped showing up while keeping the title and the paycheck.

Police scanner audio from the night of his fall reportedly caught paramedics performing CPR on someone in cardiac arrest at his home. His office says there was no heart attack. His office says a lot of things no one can check.

Regarding the South Dakota hack, Thune, it's just more word salad from this epic bullshit artist.  When he was on Hannity a couple weeks ago and Hannity was lobbing 16-inch softballs at him you knew the fix was in.

John Thune as Senate Majority Leader is no fucking different from Chuck Schumer. His pathetic, spineless non-leadership has completely screwed the SAVE America Act. It passed the House, but dead in the Senate because Thune refuses to battle the Democrats filibusters or grow enough spine to nuke the 60 vote threshold. President Trump and conservatives demand real action on election security. 

Instead, we’re stuck with the same bullshit gridlock. 

Thune is a total disaster to South Dakota, America and U.S. taxpayers.  

FILTH by Cynthia Holt

From Senate Chambers to the House Floor it's a stench of filth.

You know it.   

I know it.

They literally do nothing.

Cynthia Holt lays it out here. 

"All these politician accounts flooding X, Facebook and Instagram etc., are pure bullshit. Every last one of them, including Luna, Mace, Burchett, and the whole damn parade... post nonstop trying to convince you they’re out there fighting for you.

They’re not.

They’re just clout chasing and covering their own asses.

Unless it comes straight from Trump and his actual administration, ignore it.

The rest of these clowns have zero fucking clue what they’re doing beyond lying through their teeth.

And the left? Every single one of them is a scumbag communist, pedophile-enabling, goat fucker supporting piece of shit."

It's not SOCIAL and it's not MEDIA

Social media is like a vampire, not a hobby.

It is not entertainment.

Look at them as the vampire that exists to suck your energy and attention for someone else's economic benefit.

As soon as you understand that (and believe it), you use them less. 

Your anxiety will drop.

Here are a dozen evidence-based reasons why letting young children (especially under ~12–13) freely watch and use social media on cell phones is harmful.

1. Increased risk of depression and anxiety Social media use is consistently linked to higher rates of depressive symptoms, anxiety, and internalizing problems. Kids spending more than about 3 hours a day face roughly double the risk of mental health issues. Effects appear stronger in early adolescence.
2. Poorer self-perception and body image Constant exposure to curated, idealized images and filtered lives drives social comparison. Many adolescents report that social media makes them feel worse about their appearance and self-worth; this starts earlier when access begins young.
3. Sleep disruption Phones in bedrooms or late-night scrolling interfere with sleep onset and quality through blue light, mental stimulation, and notifications. Early smartphone ownership is tied to substantially higher odds of insufficient sleep, which cascades into mood, attention, and physical health problems.
4. Displacement of real-world development Time on social media crowds out free play, outdoor activity, face-to-face conversation, reading, and unstructured exploration—the very experiences that build language, motor skills, social competence, and emotional regulation in young children.
5. Impaired attention and cognitive skills Rapid, algorithm-driven content (short videos, infinite scroll) trains the brain toward constant novelty-seeking. This is associated with poorer focus, working memory challenges, and lower academic achievement, including declines in reading, memory, and language measures.
6. Addictive design and compulsive use Platforms are engineered with variable rewards, autoplay, and personalized feeds that exploit developing reward systems. Children’s prefrontal cortex (impulse control) is immature, making them especially vulnerable to compulsive checking and difficulty disengaging.
7. Exposure to harmful content Young children encounter age-inappropriate material—violence, sexualized content, self-harm or eating-disorder promotion, cyberhate, and misinformation—far more easily than parents realize, even with basic settings.
8. Cyberbullying and social aggression Peer-to-peer harassment, exclusion, and public shaming occur frequently online. Victims experience lasting emotional harm; younger kids have fewer coping skills and less ability to contextualize or report it effectively.
9. Risk of online exploitation and predatory contact Social platforms and messaging features create pathways for grooming, unwanted sexual solicitation, and data harvesting. Young children lack the judgment and skepticism needed to recognize and avoid these dangers.
10. Behavioral and externalizing problems Higher social media use correlates with increased aggression, externalizing behaviors, irritability, and in some cases self-injurious thoughts. It can also reinforce attention problems and emotional dysregulation.
11. Physical health costs Sedentary scrolling contributes to lower physical activity, higher obesity risk, eye strain/myopia, and musculoskeletal issues. Early phone ownership has been linked to elevated obesity odds alongside sleep problems.
12. Interference with parent–child relationships and “technoference” When kids (or parents) are absorbed in phones, responsive interaction declines. This reduces the quality of attachment, modeling of emotional regulation, and opportunities for co-regulation that young children need.

These associations come from multiple large meta-analyses, longitudinal studies, and reports from the U.S. Surgeon General and American Academy of Pediatrics. Effects are dose-dependent and stronger with earlier, heavier, and more solitary use. Not every child is equally affected, but the overall pattern of risk is clear and the developing brain is less equipped to handle the intensity and design of modern platforms.

Delaying personal smartphones and unrestricted social media access, using shared devices with co-viewing, setting firm boundaries, and prioritizing real-world activities remains the most protective approach for young children.

He will come for you

Jesus rose from the dead and appeared first to Mary Magdalene.

Mark 16:9 says it plainly.

But later He also appeared to His brother who thought He was crazy.

James. His kid brother. The one who grew up sharing a room with God and didn’t know it.

Think about James for a second. His older brother is Jesus. Not “Jesus the Christ.” Not “Jesus the Savior.” Jesus the guy who worked in the carpenter shop and came home smelling like sawdust and sweat. Jesus who snored. Jesus who ate too fast. Jesus who their mother treated different and James never understood why.

Because Mary kept her mouth shut.

Luke 2:19. She kept all these things and pondered them in her heart. Angels showed up at His birth. Shepherds fell on their faces. Wise men brought gold. And Mary told nobody. She just watched her firstborn grow up in a ghetto in Nazareth and kept the secret in her chest like a coal she couldn’t put down.

James didn’t know his brother was God.

He knew his brother was weird.

He knew his mother looked at Jesus different. He knew Joseph moved the whole family to Egypt when they were little and never fully explained why. He knew that one time his parents lost Jesus at the temple and found Him three days later arguing with rabbis like He owned the place. Twelve years old. Already gone.

Then Jesus grew up. Worked the shop. Paid the bills.

Because Joseph died - the Bible doesn’t say when but Joseph disappears from the story - and in Jewish custom the eldest son takes over. So Jesus wasn’t posing for paintings in that carpenter shop. He was feeding His family. Putting bread on the table for His mom and His brothers and sisters in a town so poor Nathanael said “can anything good come out of Nazareth?”

Then one day He left.

Walked away from the shop. Walked away from the family. Left James holding the hammer and the bills and the responsibility for a widowed mother.

James was pissed.

Mark 3:21. His own family went to collect Him because they said He was out of His mind. That’s James. That’s the brothers. Showing up to bring the crazy one home before He embarrasses the family worse.

John 7:5. His brethren did not believe in Him.
His own blood. Ate dinner with Him for thirty years. Didn’t believe.

Then Wednesday happened.

The brother James thought was insane got arrested at night by temple guards. Got beaten until His face swelled shut. Got whipped until His back looked like raw meat. Got nailed to wood and hung up on a garbage hill outside the city.

And James had to stand somewhere - maybe in the crowd, maybe at home, maybe hearing it secondhand - and process the fact that the brother he called crazy just died like a criminal.

Three days and nights of silence.

Three days of James sitting with the guilt of every eye roll. Every argument. Every time he told people “I don’t know what’s wrong with Him.” Every time he showed up to drag Jesus home because He was embarrassing the family name.

Then Sunday morning.

Jesus rose. Conquered death. Walked out of the tomb.

He appeared first to Mary Magdalene.

And later He appeared to James.

1 Corinthians 15:7. He appeared to James.

Paul gives us no scene, only the fact: Jesus appeared to His brother. The one who didn’t believe. The one who thought He was crazy. The one who was pissed that He left the family behind.

He showed up and let James see the holes in His hands.

Matthew 28:10. Go tell my brethren. Not my servants. Not my followers. My brethren.

John 20:17. My Father and your Father.  My God and your God.

He rose to the highest position in the universe and His vocabulary didn’t change.

Most men get a promotion and stop returning phone calls. Jesus conquered death and called the brother who doubted Him family.

James went from “He’s out of His mind” to leading the church in Jerusalem.

James went from trying to drag Jesus home to writing a book of the Bible.

James went from skeptic to martyr. They threw him off the temple wall and when he survived the fall they beat him to death with a club.

He died for the brother he once thought was insane.

That’s what happened when Jesus showed up after the resurrection and said brother.

One word.  Changed everything.

He’s not calling you servant today.

He’s not calling you subject.

He’s calling you what He called James.

Brother.

The same James who didn’t believe. Who rolled his eyes. Who showed up to take Him home. Who sat in the dark for three days choking on regret.

He still went to THAT guy.

If He went to James, He’ll come to you.
