10/30/23 – The Jewish people’s religious texts are also historical documents. The American (far) left are bigoted, self-righteous, antisemitic ignoramuses who take up positions based on cult/tribes/political identity instead of any commitment to truth and historical fact. F—k them! This moment has exposed them for who they’ve been all along, and it all needs to be said.
10/30/23 – Hamas is a terrorist organization. It is evil. There are no excuses for them, and the leftists who are doing so are also evil.
10/30/23 – There is no Islam without Judaism. This is an undeniable fact. Moses was a Jew. This is the same Prophet Moses to which the Quran/Koran refers, the Prophet Moses from the Jewish people’s Bible, the Hebrew Bible, which predates Christian and Muslim religious texts by a lot – millennia. Respect God’s wishes. All of us are mere mortals. God is God. God is I am.
10/30/23 – From the Hebrew Bible, the books of Moses, the oldest religious texts in the world, simplified so even the (far) left can understand it. The promised land is Israel. The Hebrews are who we now call the Jewish people. Have a nice day.
God shows Moses the Promised Land
10/30/23 – When the (far) left shows you who they really are, you should believe them.
10/27/23 – Please stop inundating us with idiocy. Thank you, and have a nice day.
10/27/23 – What the f—k is “Biden’s economy”? What does that even mean? It’s meaningless. It’s not the president’s economy when it’s good, and it’s not the president’s economy when it’s bad. If it’s anybody’s economy, it’s the Fed’s economy, as it has been pretty much since the institution was created. If you don’t like the economy, blame them. Or the warmongers and the evil poop in Russia. Or the authoritarian a—holes in the Middle East. Or the greedy corporations. Or the rich a—holes. Or yourself because whether or not you realize it, you’re likely part of the problem. There’s also that.
10/25/23 – This. They didn’t get the evil one, but they got someone who’s worse than McCarthy. “10/4/23 – Apparently, they are planning to nominate the evil one, trump, for speaker. So, if they do so, what will Democrats do? Or they didn’t bother to think through their position? 10/4/23 – McCarthy also prevented the federal government from shutting down. If one is going to say a bunch of negative things that are entirely correct, one does also need to acknowledge the positive things that are also correct. There are certain people who are evil, such as the evil one, Trump, and one doesn’t need to do this with them. But McCarthy isn’t evil. He’s actually a rather run-of-the-mill politician. “Kevin McCarthy gave up his soul not for Wales but for something worse—Donald Trump. It will be of little comfort to McCarthy to know he’s hardly the only one to have done so.” Didn’t the evil one want the shutdown? McCarthy was punished immediately after he did the right thing and prevented it. Tell us: how do reinforcement and punishment work? What message does this send to other Republicans who do the right thing? Encourage the behavior you want to see in others.
Kevin McCarthy Got What He Deserved”
10/24/23 – Christianity as Jesus Christ taught us is perfect. Christian religious institutions, like many other institutions, are imperfect, but we can’t simply give up on our institutions. We need to force them to reform and to build them better and stronger. We have to build everything together as a community. Community is everything.
10/24/23 – Absolutely! Pro-union is pro-people. Christianity is all about people. Thus, this alignment makes total sense. “Fain’s religion seems especially sensitive to the needs of the working poor. Part of the appeal of left Christianity is the notion that all of the resources one needs for sustaining a worldview focused on the needs of workers, the poor, and the dispossessed are already inside the faith. ‘My favorite verse, period, is Ecclesiastes 4:9–12,’ Fain told me. ‘I mean, that’s to me what the union’s all about; it’s what solidarity’s all about.’ Fain recited the verse, which advises that two or more workers striving together achieve greater strength and security than a single worker laboring alone. ‘My favorite line in that is “A cord of three strands is not easily broken,”’ he added. Fain said that the verse ‘speaks about what life’s about: standing together and helping one another and loving one another.’”

10/24/23 – To the Republicans who think you don’t have to compromise, f—k you and f—k you some more. You’re in the vast minority. No country can function well without compromise. You don’t get everything your way! A—holes.

10/20/23 – The more important economics is actually home economics. It’s very important to learn how to mend, sew, knit, garden, cook, and such. These are very practical skills that will save you lots of money, which you can then invest wisely. It is both home and economics. Meanwhile economics is just a bunch of bloviating white men who won’t update their knowledge or the discipline…perhaps with some exceptions.
10/20/23 – Economics, the discipline that refuses to evolve. Institutional inertia is everywhere, but economics is particularly inert. “Don’t let the dry econ-speak fool you. For someone in Goolsbee’s position, a sentence like that is the equivalent of standing on the steps of the Federal Reserve with a bullhorn screaming, ‘Stop before you crash the economy!’
‘If you believe that the only way to bring inflation down is to adopt a tighter policy,” Goolsbee told me recently, ‘then by the time you realized that wasn’t the case, you’d have created a recession that was not necessary.’
Causing a recession in order to tame inflation is painful enough. Causing a recession when inflation is already getting under control would be tragic. The past year has been something of an economic miracle. Against all odds, we didn’t actually need a recession to bring down inflation. But if the Fed is unwilling to accept the good news, then we just may get one anyway.”
Something was posted here way back in March. What was that again? Oh yes, this.
“3/17/23 – Going to try to say this as calmly as possible. From the beginning, we have been saying (i.e., berating the Fed on Twitter, which is dead) not to raise rates. The a—holes with their econ 101 textbooks have been saying raise rates. A lot of the inflation was due to supply-side issues. Basic logic dictates that is what needs to be addressed to bring down inflation. Those are policy issues that the Biden administration and Congress need to tackle. This is not the god—m 1970s. Stop with the Milton Friedman s—t. The financial system, the economy, everything has changed, and on top of all of that, the world is emerging from a pandemic. The elevated demand was mainly due to that. And there is a war. Instead of taking a nuanced approach to economic policy, it’s a formulaic approach that does not suit this case. If the Fed is too incompetent to manage the economy, it needs to be completely overhauled. Fire and hire until it can do its job correctly. This entire f—king banking crisis fiasco, not to mention the higher debt servicing both for regular folk and the government, which is ultimately paid for by the taxpayers, is because of the higher interest rates. In addition, the financial system, which has been drunk at the punch bowl (low interest rate environment) for how long is it, almost a half a century, give or take, is an alcoholic. It is brittle. Raising rates this aggressively over a short period of time is going to destabilize it. So, f—k you to everyone who’s a bloviating moron about inflation, finance and economics. You are a contributor to this mess. Thank you, and have a nice day.”
The 1970s Economic Theory That Needs to Die
Notes from Underground – March 2023
10/18/23 – The incompetence and indifference of child protection services is shocking. Is anybody going to fix this f—king sick situation that can be found around the country? “Mickel Cherry, a 25-year-old homeless man, is charged with first-degree murder, rape and capital murder, and could face the death penalty. Authorities haven’t said how Zoey died…. DCF opened another investigation as a result of Zoey’s death.”
Kansas agency investigated girl’s family 5 times before she was killed, a report shows
10/18/23 – Just curious. There are so many Muslims suffering in the world, many in Muslim majority countries. Why is it that the loony left has chosen the Palestinian cause? Is it really about the Palestinians or about something else, say anti-Semitism?
UN refugee chief says Rohingya who fled Myanmar must not be forgotten during other world crises
10/18/23 – The “fury” of Middle Eastern countries about Gaza is pretty rich since almost all of them have been oppressing and killing their own people for a long time. What has Hamas done for its people but bring misery upon them? Israel is the only democratic, liberal country in the region, so what is these Middle Eastern countries’ “fury” actually about? Where is their “fury” about their own regimes and their own treatment of their people. Spare us the bulls—t.
10/18/23 – Taking a cynical, calculated approach to Republican dysfunction is not the way to go. Jim Jordon as Speaker is not a good outcome for the country and, therefore, for Democrats. They should have helped McCarthy keep his job, or find some suitable Republican alternative. Do the right thing and stop with the machinations or indulging in schadenfreude. Grow up!
10/18/23 – Given the current state of affairs, if Republicans got behind one candidate, assuming all the money goes to the person, he/she would have about $50 mil, $5 mil more than the evil one, trump, and Haley would be their best option.

10/16/23 – The world wants to and deserves to see all “royal families’” DNA analyses.
10/16/23 – Categories should be based on DNA, linguistics, culture and history. This would be much more meaningful as groupings of human beings go.
10/16/23 – Race is not a useful categorization. Some people are more genetically similar to each other than others, but this similarity might not show up in appearance the way people expect. Skin color, more generally melanin content, is one of the worst predictors of genetic similarity. Even within white families, siblings can be blond and blue-eyed, or dark-haired and dark eyed. Also, is a southern Italian more genetically similar to a Swede or to a North African? Given the geography and the history of trade and conquest, this is a fair question. How many people when asked what their race is are actually answering with a geographical region, such as Asian? What is Asian as a race? Does anybody really know?
10/15/23 – A model for the way forward. A culture justifiably proud of its religious tolerance and harmony. Happy Sunday to all!

10/14/23 – To the degenerates on the left, spare us the bulls—t.
10/14/23 – To become a saint, one just has to become gay. All gay, trans, LGBTQ+ people are morally upright, perfect, in fact. They wouldn’t knowingly spread a terrible STD, such as syphilis, to a group of people who had been untouched by other civilizations, and abuse and exploit them, right? They are angels. These tribes want to stay uncontacted because some of their members were raped by a gay person who gave them a deadly STD.
Why Uncontacted Tribes Want to Stay Uncontacted
10/14/23 – Although most institutions generally ranked low in Gallup’s poll, faith in church or organized religion (32%) is considerably higher than faith in the propaganda (aka the liberal press, 18%). The only institutions that did better than religious ones were the military, the police, and the medical system.
Historically Low Faith in U.S. Institutions Continues
10/14/23 – Hey Associated Propaganda (aka AP), still waiting for the “sweeping, immersive experience” evangelizing Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism…. Not holding our breath though.
10/14/23 – Faith leaders, like other human beings, need to take care of themselves too. “That level of faith-based self-care is just what many clergy should practice to avoid the burnout and deteriorating mental health symptoms like anxiety and depression that experts say are affecting religious leaders at a worrisome pace. ‘Mental health needs are just overwhelming faith communities.’…. Compassion fatigue can develop from the constant exposure to other people’s trauma without taking time to process one’s own grief.” Maybe the hypocritical atheists, including the reporters at the Associated Propaganda, which conveniently left this obvious part out, who don’t serve anybody but themselves can stop attacking religion, which would definitely help not just faith leaders but our society as a whole.
Clergy burnout is a growing concern in polarized churches. A summit offers coping strategies
10/14/23 – The temple is beautiful! It is very important that all workers are well-compensated for their work and that there are no caste or class divisions. The caste system is criminal and a moral abomination. “‘Trivedi said these allegations weighed heavily on community members because their faith has always taught them ‘to see the divine in all and love and serve them as manifestations of the divine.’ He said Pramukh Swami Maharaj, the sect’s fifth spiritual successor, who envisioned such a temple campus in the United States, was a progressive guru who cared deeply about social equality…. ‘It’s not even just Indian or Indian American,’ he said, adding that the temple stands for universal values that can be found in every religious text and in the hearts and minds of great thinkers and leaders of every era. ‘What we’ve tried to do is express these universal values in a way that relate to all visitors.’” Lovely. Hinduism is peace.

10/13/23 – The left flunked the test because it is an imposter, one that is pretending to be knowledgeable, intellectual, enlightened and morally correct, but, in reality, it’s none of these things.
10/13/23 – Academia needs a good purging. It’s filled with anti-intellectual bigots.
10/13/23 – Is it feeling somewhat murky? If so, that’s odd because it was so clear not that long ago. Religion bad. Atheism good. Right bad. Left good. Israel bad. Palestine good. Trans good. Gay good. Women good. But wait? Yes. It was all so clear not that long ago. Wasn’t it? If the world became atheists/nones, trans, and Palestinians, all the world’s problems would magically disappear. Right?
10/13/23 – “That’s how you end up with Queers for Palestine when being queer in Palestine is difficult and dangerous.” Let’s blow up the left’s BS, shall we. Israel is far more secular than Palestine and the Islamic countries in the region, some of which murder gay people. But Israel is the country of the Jewish people who, according to the left, are colonizers and oppressors of the Palestinian people. So, what is the left to do? Which side should it take? Basically, Palestinians or LGBTQ+? What about Kate Cohen, identity atheist, extrapolate, which side does she take? “It’s also how you end up with candidates for Labour Party leadership signing a pledge that insists there ‘is no material conflict between trans rights and women’s rights,’ even when—as in the eligibility rules for women’s sports—some wins for one group plainly come at the expense of the other.” Which side should it take: women’s rights or trans’ rights? “In 2017, Linda Sarsour, one of the organizers of the Women’s March, told The Nation that Zionism and feminism were incompatible: ‘It just doesn’t make any sense for someone to say, ‘Is there room for people who support the state of Israel and do not criticize it in the movement? There can’t be in feminism.’” Kate Cohen, identity atheist, extrapolate, and other fanatical leftists, do you agree: are Zionism and feminism incompatible?
10/13/23 – “‘A woman is a female adult.’ Got that? A politician with an essentialist view of womanhood is complicit in the deaths of innocents, but a terrorist indiscriminately murdering people at a music festival must be understood in context.” Indeed, stating a simple unchangeable fact, a woman is a female adult, is cause for outrage, but the beheading of babies, that’s well, morally ambiguous; perhaps it’s justified, right? And then they wonder why the rest of us think the loony left is f—king crazy. Perhaps it’s because they’re f—king crazy. Perhaps none of this is as hard as they make it. Perhaps they have been distorting reality to fit their narratives for so long and in slowly increasing levels of absurdity, they didn’t see how far they had strayed from anything remotely resembling reality.
10/13/23 – As Jesus said, hypocrites, hypocrites, hypocrites. The high-priests of self-righteousness, the atheistic religious bigots with their scientism, their godless communist propaganda and their allegiance to tribe/category are showing themselves for who they have been all along.
The Progressives Who Flunked the Hamas Test
10/13/23 – “But I quickly saw that many of those on the left who I thought shared these values with me could see what had happened only through established categories of colonized and colonizer, evil Israeli and righteous Palestinian—templates made of concrete. The break was caused by this enormous disconnect. I was in a world of Jewish suffering that they couldn’t see because Jewish suffering simply didn’t fit anywhere for them…. If I can fault myself clearly for something, though, it’s not recognizing that the same ideological hardening I’d seen on the right in the past few years, the blind allegiances and contorted narratives even when reality was staring people in the face, has also happened, to a greater degree than I’d imagined, on the left, among the people whom I think of as my own. They couldn’t recognize a moral abomination when it was staring them in the face. They were so set in their categories that they couldn’t make a distinction between the Palestinian people and a genocidal cult that claimed to speak in that people’s name. And they couldn’t acknowledge hundreds and hundreds of senseless deaths because the people who were killed were Israelis and therefore the enemy.” This has been true for a long time. It’s better to see it now than never. There are simplistic idiots on both sides. The left is better at deceiving itself that it is intelligent. It isn’t. The right doesn’t boast such a claim. They accept if not flaunt their degeneracy. Both sides think they morally superior. Immoral idiots such as Kate Cohen, identity atheist, extrapolate, wrote a stupid book that should be used as toilet paper, but the idiots who identify with her will buy it. It’s all tribal nonsense, morality by category. It is wholly lacking in intellectual sophistication and moral depth.
The Left Abandoned Me
10/13/23 – It’s funny how America’s corporations quickly approach “economic ceilings” when it comes to rank-and-file worker compensation but not when it comes to executive compensation. Yet a corporation without a CEO will survive. A corporation without its rank and file will not.
10/11/23 – To the propaganda (aka the liberal press) and the (militant) atheists, no decent person insults other people’s religion. This is simply not something civilized people do. That is all.
10/11/23 – The Jewish people have a special place in our hearts, and we pray for them. We love them and will defend them forever. We also love our Muslim sisters and brothers. Like the Jewish people, Americans also understand terrorism. We just marked the 22nd anniversary of 9/11, but then and now, we remain a people who believe in love, especially in the face of hate. On that dark day, our president, George W. Bush, said, “Islam is peace.” It was his finest moment. Islam is peace, and Judaism is peace. Christianity is peace. This is the Holy Land. On this sacred land, our shared faith rests. All parties need to treat it with the respect it deserves. Personally, 9/11 was a traumatic and sad day for me, as it was for much of the country, but at no point did I ever direct animus towards Muslims. At no point in my life have I done this to anyone of any religion. When I was a child, my mother told me to always be respectful to people of other religions, and I obeyed her wise advice even on 9/11. Our shared faith tells us that every single person is made in the image of God and that we should do unto them as you would have them do unto you. In the face of evil, restraint is hard. Ask the Ukrainians. They understand it well. If the response is over-reactive, it won’t be a just response. Remember: our God is our justice. Let his love for us, in spite of our own wrongs, be a tempering force.
10/11/23 – Russell Moore makes the following argument. “As Christians, we should pay special attention to violence directed toward Israel—just as we would pay special attention to a violent attack on a member of our extended family. After all, we are grafted on to the promise made to Abraham (Rom. 11:17). Our Lord Jesus was and is a Jewish man from Galilee. Rage against the Jewish people is rage against him, and, because we are in him, against us.
No one wanted to wake up to war in what was already a tinderbox of the world order. But war has come, and we should recognize terrorism for what it is. We should also recognize the justice of a forceful response to that terrorism. However we read the prophecy passages of the Bible, and however we disagree on world politics, American Christians ought to stand together with Israel now.”
American Christians Should Stand with Israel under Attack
10/10/23 – The Washington Propaganda can go f—k itself. It gives space to the self-glorifying, religious bigot Kate Cohen, identity atheist, extrapolate, to evangelize atheism and insult the vast majority of the world’s population and then realizes that it can’t “grow” its subscription base and has to let a bunch of people go. Gee, wonder why? Maybe treating a global news source like it’s a private platform to promote your agenda isn’t the best business strategy.
10/10/23 – Lots of great information on the planet.
BBC Future Planet
10/10/23 – Deal with it. “This would have been between 7,000 and 3,000BCE. These Zagrosian herders mixed with the earlier inhabitants of the subcontinent – the First Indians, descendants of the Out of Africa (OoA) migrants who had reached India around 65,000 years ago – and together, they went on to create the Harappan civilization. In the centuries after 2000 BCE came the second set of immigrants (the Aryans) from the Eurasian Steppe, probably from the region now known as Kazakhstan. They likely brought with them an early version of Sanskrit, mastery over horses and a range of new cultural practices such as sacrificial rituals, all of which formed the basis of early Hindu/Vedic culture. (A thousand years before, people from the Steppe had also moved into Europe, replacing and mixing with agriculturists there, spawning new cultures and spreading Indo-European languages)…. The idea of the mixing of different population groups is also unappealing to Hindu nationalists as they put a premium on racial purity. There is also the additional issue of the migration theory putting Aryans on the same footing as latter-day Muslim conquerors of India – such as the Mughals.”

10/10/23 – Living like our ancestors also means living with a light footprint. We should have never stopped doing this. We and our planet would have been so much better off had we kept living in that simple, healthier way.
10/10/23 – If godless science worshippers (aka atheists) don’t want to keep their ancient traditions alive, that’s their problem. They can worship science and live like sterile robots. The rest of us want to stay connected to our ancestors and be humans. An interesting video series by the BBC on battle arts.

10/9/23 – We need more news sites that are religious. The propaganda (aka the press) are biased atheists and idiots, and reading their stories is choosing to be indoctrinated with their views and values.
10/9/23 – The propaganda (aka the press) are godless communists who think humans can fix anything even though we’ve destroyed everything. They think we can fix the planet that we didn’t create with science even though we’ve destroyed it with science, and they want to turn humans and other life into monstrous science experiments. They worship science and themselves. They are the enemy of the people and of all life.
10/9/23 – Tip: If you’re going to read a dense writer whose work you’re unfamiliar with, first read a well-written book that explains the person’s work. It basically replaces a series of lectures and will give you a sense of who the author is and how to approach the person’s work.
10/9/23 – It doesn’t take much to create a beautiful, magical garden for bees and butterflies that you (and your neighbors) love. You do have to weed, seed (micro or White Dutch clover) and, generally, tend to the garden, but the benefits far surpass the costs. Tips: cover your entire lawn with high-quality top soil, use beneficial nematodes and organic fertilizer, and mulch and burlap for weed control. Get rid of grass, and plant clover instead. It acts as a natural fertilizer by fixing the nitrogen. Do not use inorganic fertilizer and never use pesticides. All of these tips work great. You’ll have a beautiful, unique lawn that benefits our pollinators and other creatures and one that you and your neighbors can feel good about. You will also get great natural exercise managing your garden, and it is good for your mental health. You will also have beautiful flower arrangements, and fresh fruits and vegetables that you grew! “Lawns may seem like a trivial place to focus your eco-energies, but they cover about 40 million acres of the United States — that’s about the same land area as wheat. (And that estimate is from 2012; researchers say the amount of lawn has almost certainly increased as the suburbs have sprawled ever outward.)”

10/9/23 – Fish and seafood are the best meat. There is no comparison. If we actually took care of our water sources, we could have plenty of it, but alas, apparently, we can’t do this. Can we do this?
10/9/23 – The world is overwhelming, and in many cases, there isn’t much we can do but pray. We can also focus on changing and building our communities for the better. If we all did this, in the collective, we would change the world.
10/9/23 – Please pray for peace throughout the world. Shalom. Salaam.
10/9/23 – Hey Propaganda: Keep telling us our religion is bad, and we’ll keep telling you to go f—k yourselves. Thank you, and have a nice day.
10/9/23 – Hey Associated Propaganda: Are you going to do “A sweeping, immersive experience” on Christianity? What about Islam? What about Buddhism? You like Buddhists, right? No, don’t have space you say. Oh, OK.
10/9/23 – Hey Washington Propaganda: Are you going to let Christians evangelize their religion, in an exceptionally long essay, on your platform? What about Muslims? Buddhists? You like Buddhists, right? Can we write about how exceptional our children are and how stupid and naïve atheists’ children are? No, don’t have space you say. Oh, OK.
10/9/23 – It’s not just fascism (MAGA) we need to worry about, it’s also communism (militant atheists, which is most of the liberal media, the propaganda, aka the press).
10/9/23 – Atheists do have a bad reputation. It’s earned.
10/9/23 – Many atheists are actually controlling authoritarians who have infiltrated various organizations, including the propaganda (aka the press), to spread their views.
10/9/23 – There isn’t a single intellectual atheist in the world today. They simply do not exist.
10/8/23 – Fruit and honey are gifts from God. How do they taste like that? We do nothing to them, and it’s like wow…so good! God is great! He gave us everything.
10/8/23 – In a time when we can’t trust many of our institutions, organizations and even other people, we can always trust God. We can also trust the beautiful, kind, supportive religious and secular communities we build together. We are happier because our lives are better for our faith and our community. No propaganda will ever take God away from us. Let them spew their worthless, toxic words and their hate. To all religious people in the world, let’s continue as we are: faith, hope, love. Happy Sunday!
10/8/23 – In a time of war, not just in Ukraine, but in many parts of the world, climate change, mass extinction of God’s creatures, the torturing of animals for their flesh, democratic backsliding, rampant corruption, the exploitation of the poor by the rich, modern slavery and human trafficking, the migrant crisis, homelessness, injustice of every manner, religious persecution throughout the world, what did the Associated Propaganda (aka the AP) think was worthy of their fake reporters’ time and energy: Nones, “A sweeping, immersive experience.” The propaganda outlet has dedicated prominent space on their front page to this “topic” for at least the past three days, since October 5. It is a full-throated propaganda piece advocating for atheism or nones (whatever they are). Why would a self-described trusted, no, the most trusted, global news organization feel that this topic merited this sweeping and in-depth coverage? Yes, you’re right because it’s obvious. In spite of all of these other topics that are objectively far more important, which ended up getting cheated of coverage, this topic, nones, whoever they are, is what is important to the Associated Propaganda. If you ever needed proof of their lack of trustworthiness and objectivity, it’s right here. When people show you who they are: believe them. This is who the AP is: the Associated Propaganda.
10/7/23 – The question for this kindhearted and honest man (unlike the bigoted and deceitful Kate Cohen): Why on God’s green earth does he still subscribe to the Washington Propaganda?
An essayist evangelizes readers for atheism but the story doesn’t stick
10/7/23 – Not saying it to “any one particular religion” but saying it to all religions is saying it to every single particular religion. The genius atheists aren’t too good with categories and how they work, but that’s how they work. F—k them and f—k the propaganda (aka the press).
10/7/23 – The atheists of old actually had intellects and arguments. The new atheists, such as Kate Cohen, are arrogant idiots, with no arguments. They are stupid, simplistic religious bigots.
10/7/23 – The religious bigot Kate Cohen, identity atheist, extrapolate, says that she was “raised Jewish.” Many people would still consider her Jewish. The last we checked Islam is a religion. Now, let’s read her text as directed to Muslims, and let’s fill in some of the words she left unwritten but that were there nonetheless. “[Islam] offers ready-made answers to our most difficult questions…. My children know how to distinguish fact from fiction — which is harder for children raised [as Muslims]. They don’t assume conventional wisdom is true and they do expect arguments to be based on evidence [unlike your Muslim children]. Which means they have the skills to be engaged, informed and savvy citizens [unlike your stupid, naïve Muslim children]…. [We] are everywhere. And we are unusually disposed to getting stuff done [unlike Muslims]. I used to say, when people asked me what [we] do believe, that it was simple: [We] believe that [your] God is a human invention. But now, I think it’s more than that…. But you also don’t get to leave things up to God. [There is no inshallah because there is no Allah.] [We] must accept that people are allowing — we are allowing — women to die in childbirth, children to go hungry, men to buy guns that can slaughter dozens of people in minutes. [We] believe people organized the world as it is now, and only people can make it better [unlike Muslims who just sit around and wait for their imaginary God to do things.]… That’s right: [We] take more political action — donating to campaigns, protesting, attending meetings, working for politicians — than [Muslims]…. You don’t have to be [like us] to conduct yourself as if people are responsible for the world they live in — you just have to act like [us], by taking matters into your own hands [instead of the Allah believer you are who just sits around waiting for your imaginary God to solve your problems]…. Peel back the layers of control over women’s bodies — from dress codes that punish girls for male desire all the way to the Supreme Court striking down Roe v. Wade — and you find [Islam]. Often, there isn’t much peeling to do. [Why do you force your women and girls to cover themselves up? They should be able to wear anything they want like my children do.]” You get the idea. This is basically what the Washington Propaganda (aka WaPo) published. One can replace Muslims with whatever other religious group and make the associated changes. This is the person who thinks she’s a good person. Think about it.
10/7/23 – The Associated Propaganda (the AP), “Advancing the power of [propaganda].” These “news” organizations are so “fact-based” that even when every recent poll shows that trust in them is at or near record lows, they still claim to be the most trusted. Here is the Associated Propaganda’s claim. “Founded in 1846, AP today remains the most trusted source of fast, accurate, unbiased news in all formats and the essential provider of the technology and services vital to the news business.” They are the most trusted at propaganda, of the promotion of their reporters’ views and values. They are religious bigots who promote themselves as lacking in any kind of prejudice.
10/7/23 – To the propaganda (the press), f—k you! You are the enemy of the people, and we will fight you until the bitter end.
10/7/23 – The Washington Propaganda (the Washington Post) gave the low intellect, low character, religious bigot Kate Cohen, identity atheist, extrapolate, a platform to spew her vile religious bigotry. Would they give a Christian, a Muslim, a Jew or any religious person a platform to spew religious bigotry against people of another faith or atheists? Yet, this bigotry against religious people is OK, right? Yet, her royal self-righteousness with her smug voice filled with her grotesque self-love has the right to spew her hate of people who are religious, denigrating them on the Washington Propaganda’s platform, right?
10/7/23 – The Associated Propaganda’s (the AP) religion team is actually the atheist/none (whatever that is) team. Truth is lies. War is peace. Slavery is freedom. All brought to you by the propaganda (the press), a group of liberal atheists/nones evangelizing their religious bigotry and their vile self-love and self-worship. They want us to become like them. We will not.
10/7/23 – From the beginning of time, there have been religious or spiritual people and nonreligious or nonspiritual people. There are good and bad people within both groups. How stupid are the propaganda (aka the press)? Indeed, all one needs to do is become an atheist or an ill-defined none, and you’ll magically be transformed into a good person. Does the propaganda (the press) think that everybody who is or who becomes an atheist/none becomes a better person? Of course they do because they are biased morons. Kate Cohen thinks she’s so smart. Her voice drips with condescension. She thinks her children are so precocious. She flatters herself through her children. She and her children are simplistic idiots, but, more generally, so is the propaganda (aka the press). Zero f—king intellect. Zero depth of thought. Zero basic f—king logic. Zero objectivity. Zero integrity. All fatally flawed propaganda.
10/6/23 – Much of the press has become the enemy of the people. They claim to be defenders of democracy, but they are not. They are promoters of themselves. They are propagandists for their lifestyles, their beliefs and their values.
10/6/23 – The Associated Propaganda (aka the AP) really really wants the entire world to become atheists, or rather cleverly, nones, whatever they are, as their “reporters” are. They’re pretending to look out for you, to care so deeply about you. That’s why they are trying to indoctrinate you with their values. They hate religion, and they want you to hate it too, but ultimately, this isn’t really about religion or human rights. This is about them. They want to make you in their image because they think of themselves as superior gods.
10/5/23 – Here is another one. They conspire with each other to indoctrinate Americans. It’s timed delivery. “Today’s Opinions: America needs more atheists Opinion by Drew Goins” The Washington Post
10/5/23 – Here is a survey the media can conduct. Do you subscribe to the New York Times, the Washington Post, NPR, the AP, some other news source, or none of the above? If they read no news sources, they are nones. If they watch the news, they are nones. If they read many news sources or some new sources sometimes because they find news sources to have an agenda, they are nones. If they read nothing in particular, they are nothing in particular, which are also nones. Did you get all that?
10/5/23 – If anybody is wondering why the polls about elections were so off, it’s completely clear now.
10/5/23 – Either the surveys are badly designed, the statistical analysis is skewed or the presentation is distorted or some combination of these serious flaws.
10/5/23 – Here’s a story the media should be running instead of the multimedia propaganda for atheism that conveniently corresponds with their “reporters” views that spanned multiple “news” (really propaganda) sources such as the AP and the Washington Post’s “book” by Kate Cohen. They should write about why the public’s trust in them is near a record low. “Notably, this is the first time that the percentage of Americans with no trust at all in the media is higher than the percentage with a great deal or a fair amount combined.” Also, the reason Americans’ opinion of the media is partisan is because it is biased towards the Democrats, who are mainly liberal and nonreligious. This is why nobody, including liberals, should trust the media. The media is supposed to be objective and unbiased, not serving a political constituency. When it does this, it no longer has any credibility of any kind.
Americans’ Trust In Media Remains Near Record Low
10/5/23 – The press has no integrity. They are propagandists or even liars. If they willing to blatantly distort, one can’t trust anything they say.
10/5/23 – Does the media know how to report anything correctly, or they just don’t want to do so? So, the Nones are both 16% and 30%? One can’t have an overarching category also be a subcategory. Is this hard? Given these gross errors, this polling, which is highly dependent on the quality of the survey, is dubious at best. What the AP should have said is that Atheists are 7%, Agnostics are 7%, Nones are 16%, of which half are “spiritual but not religious”… “‘[The Nones (unclear if it’s half of the 16% or the entire 16%)] are definitely not as turned off to religion as atheists and agnostics are,’ Burge said. ‘They practice their own type of spirituality, many of them.’” These three categories, Atheists 7%, Agnostics 7% and Nones 16%, sum to 30% of Americans. The AP and other “news” organizations are trying to present basic statistics in a distorted manner, such as inflating the Nones, so that the statistics better align with their reporters’ biases.
The Nones United States
10/4/23 – Religion bad. Atheism good. Me atheist. Me superior. The liberal atheists, who we’re apparently grossly undercounting, are great at virtue signaling, hypocrisy, not sacrificing anything, and what do you know, asking the Catholic Church, religion bad, religious people dumb, to ask its faithful to reinstate the old practice of not eating meat on Fridays for the good of the planet. So where is their scientism cult leader to tell them what to do?
10/4/23 – Apparently, they are planning to nominate the evil one, trump, for speaker. So, if they do so, what will Democrats do? Or they didn’t bother to think through their position ?
10/4/23 – McCarthy also prevented the federal government from shutting down. If one is going to say a bunch of negative things that are entirely correct, one does also need to acknowledge the positive things that are also correct. There are certain people who are evil, such as the evil one, Trump, and one doesn’t need to do this with them. But McCarthy isn’t evil. He’s actually a rather run-of-the-mill politician. “Kevin McCarthy gave up his soul not for Wales but for something worse—Donald Trump. It will be of little comfort to McCarthy to know he’s hardly the only one to have done so.” Didn’t the evil one want the shutdown? McCarthy was punished immediately after he did the right thing and prevented it. Tell us: how do reinforcement and punishment work? What message does this send to other Republicans who do the right thing? Encourage the behavior you want to see in others.
Kevin McCarthy Got What He Deserved
10/4/23 – Thank you, and have a nice day.
10/4/23 – Christians don’t have any arguments for the world about how great and perfect we are, and we aren’t messiahs. We aren’t evangelizing based on our perfection and our superiority. We know we’re imperfect. In fact, on a regular basis, we ask forgiveness for our sins from God and from our you, our brothers and sisters. We accept our humanity and others’ humanity as a fallen people. We accept our shortcomings in thoughts, words and deeds and try to do better. Among these humbling things and others, practicing Christians are weak, meek and poor in spirit. We aim to be in service to others and to our God. Our God was crucified on a cross, and we love him because of this. He and he alone is our messiah. We don’t find him weak. We find him to be the truth. If this isn’t appealing to you, that’s OK. We’ll keep walking and believing in our God.
10/4/23 – Oh and by the way, Hitler was an atheist, one of many evil people who were atheists. He hated Christianity. He thought it was weak. It’s well-documented. It’s what one might call a fact. Atheists love facts, don’t they? Or are facts only facts if they align with their understanding of things? Wait, isn’t this similar to their extremist “religious” counterparts, many of whom are actually atheists pretending to be religious?
10/4/23 – One of the greatest dangers of being blinded by self-love is that one makes incorrect assumptions. My Christian faith, which has taught me to love God above all else, has taught me this. One might call it a requirement for, well, are the atheists, ready, critical thinking.
10/4/23 – Apologies, not f—kers, that was inappropriate, but atheists.
10/3/23 – As someone who’s been trying to get rid of these f—kers for years, there aren’t words to express how happy I’d be if they’d own up to the truth and describe themselves as they actually are, as atheists. Please keep sending these articles our way.
10/3/23 – “Christian Nationalist” MAGA and other nonbelievers pretending to be Christian but are actually atheists in hiding, Cohen makes an extraordinarily compelling argument. “But for everyone else who doesn’t believe in God and hasn’t said so?…. [T]he next time you find yourself tempted to pretend that you believe in God? Tell the truth instead.”
America doesn’t need more God. It needs more atheists.
10/3/23 – As it stands, a lie that atheists love to tell themselves is that they are such great people, so moral, rational, politically active, what else did Cohen claim, basically perfect, messianic really. Now, imagine if all the fake religious people, such as the Christian nationalists, who aren’t actually Christian, started describing themselves accurately as atheists, then what? Just curious how well her book, or is it her fairy tale, will age.
10/3/23 – Kate Cohen, identity atheist, extrapolate, is desperately evangelizing atheism while hawking her new book on why atheists and atheism are so great. Let’s help her. To all Christians everywhere who don’t really believe in Christianity, please leave it and become an atheist or a believer of some other faith tradition. Thank you.
10/3/23 – We’re definitely in crisis mode, and we need to return to our ancestral ways that were much easier on the planet. “‘We’re supporting our relatives of the sea in a time of crisis,’ said Quintasket, the Swinomish senator. ‘It’s not just climate change anymore. We are in crisis mode, and this is just a little bit of work that we can do to support their home to make sure that they’re surviving with us.’”

10/3/23 – Instead of growing corn for ethanol, a type of biofuel, whose present production is 15 billion bushels, we should just use what is already being formed in the oceans, lakes and elsewhere: algae. Sargassum, which has been growing in large quantities in the ocean, poses several environmental risks to coastal regions and getting rid of it this way could be a win-win. We could also use the methane released from landfills, as the military is currently doing. (The military is working on complete energy independence using microgrids. All of us should have some level of energy independence on a state/local and an individual level.)

10/3/23 – If you hate politics, in religious or secular institutions, nobody would blame you. We need more direct democracy and direct religion. Too many people are putting themselves between us and our country, and us and our God. Christianity started out as a small group of Jews who believed Jesus is the Messiah. That’s really all we are as Christians. Basically, we adopted the Old Testament, the Jewish part, and added the New Testament, the Jesus Christ part. We believe in him and him, and we believe the testimony in the New Testament. Over 2,000 years, this simple but radical revolution has become so politicized. The main thing Christians need to do is just focus on being the hands and feet of Christ and loving our generous, merciful God.

10/2/23 – If need be, Democrats need to vote for McCarthy so that he can retain his job. We need to move beyond politics and start solving our problems. We need to work together as Americans and as global citizens.
10/2/23 – Everywhere, governments are failing their people.
10/2/23 – Meanwhile, other parts of the planet are getting too much water. “‘Those in power really need to step up,’ he said.” Those in power are too busy stirring up hate and assassinating people to govern.
India’s devastating monsoon season is a sign of things to come, as climate and poor planning combine
10/2/23 – This is a real problem. These corporations are trying to use the law to steal all the water. They will destroy these communities. We must move to the community model described below. It’s way more sustainable. The dispersion of gardens around the country will distribute water usage, and it’s way better for pollinators. We should grow flowers alongside the fruits and vegetables. Also, the corporations must be stopped by the federal government. “‘We feel we are being totally overrun by those people,’ Gaillard said. ‘They are taking all the water.’”

10/1/23 – In honor of St. Francis, today was the blessing of the animals. Hundreds of people brought their pets to be blessed: dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, you get the idea, and we sang songs about God’s creatures. Children and animals! So much cuteness!
10/1/23 – This Sunday, let’s think differently about what is possible. Let’s live in a way that honors creation. Life is extraordinary. The abundance we have on earth is exceptional. Before the pandemic, we were all burning out. During the pandemic, a period of illness, fear and death, we burnt out. Let’s imagine a world that puts the sacredness of life at its core, one that isn’t dominated by a callous disregard for life and an obsession with greed. Let’s build a beloved community.
10/1/23 – Are we going to be a people who can do things or who makes simple things hard? We are not reinventing the wheel. In fact, all of this has been done for most of human civilization. If our ancestors can do it, we certainly can. We would just be finding ourselves again.
Monks Making Money
10/1/23 – What are the things we truly need: water, food, shelter, each other and God. We have rural cities throughout the country that simply need people. The infrastructure is there already. We should also equip them with wells or rain barrels because climate change is real, and it’s good to have for gardens, trees and ground cover. They should be pollinator friendly. They can have gardens and fruit trees, and cute goats and cows. See below also. People who can’t do without meat can learn to hunt and fish. They will eat less of it and are more likely to honor the lives they are taking. Housing needs to be made free. We, including the people who will be living in them, can build them. It’s not hard to build a larger “tiny home.” You measure (you know, with a tape measure, hold it against the thing and read the number), cut (you know with a saw, you pull the thing down on the thing you want to cut) and combine (nail gun, you pull a trigger). Is this hard? Is basic construction hard? It’s not. Put these homes together, add people, and you have a community.
Everybody should be given a bike, also for free. People can buy used electric cars. Wood for fires. So, what’s a person’s expenses? Utilities. Clothes, shoes, linens and furniture? Thrift stores, etc. They are very cheap, and that’s what washing machines are for. Restoring furniture is not hard either. Many people give things away. (Certain items, for example, towels, socks, shoes, underwear, etc. can also be purchased new if people so choose.) Another word for all of this is recycling.
Let’s consider the rest. Soap, toothbrush, toothpaste, sunscreen, lotions and such, hair stuff, razors, TP, cleaning products. People can learn to sew, knit, make jewelry. People can learn crafts: soap, candles, scented things, flower arrangements, and using flowers in food and scented things, cooking. At the end of the day, how much money will a person be spending? Probably not much even if they buy some of these items. One can work 32-35 hours per week (people do need to work, it’s healthy), save money, eat healthier, get exercise, live in community, be much kinder on the planet and on animals, and have time for our spiritual lives. That’s freedom. That’s living.
10/1/23 – This is the kind of bureaucratic dysfunction to which our great country has been reduced. Governmental structures and processes need to change as needs change. We also need to better staff these agencies. Create a new category for the neglected or abused minors. Is this hard? Why does every simple solution seem beyond our reach? “The State Department announced that for nearly seven years it had been placing in the wrong line tens of thousands of applications for neglected or abused minors from Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador, and would now start adding those to the general queue with the clergy. Since the mid-2010s, a surging number of youth from these countries have sought humanitarian green cards or asylum after illegally crossing into the U.S.” Our country needs people to work in various jobs and to revitalize certain parts, such as rural America. America is a nation of immigrants. Don’t fear them. We are them.
