In the future, China will be dominant. The U.S. will be irrelevant??

If Social Security is so good, why do people have also private investments for their retirement? And do caring societies rip off future generations for the sake of the present?

No one is claiming it’s more than it is or was ever intended to be. As for ripping off future generations, that’s a bug not a feature. The mens…[Read more]

RE the Alex O’Connor question…….what if he does murder the “potential” Christian an hour before his conversion therefore sending him to Hell for all eternity…..and then he (Alex) repents of his sins and becomes a Christian and then, one hour later, he also dies?

The non-believer sends a person to Hell, just as victim was about to become a…[Read more]

Kentucky Noah’s Ark sues insurance company over damage caused by heavy rains

This scientist’s reply to a YEC (from Northern Ireland and who thinks the world is 6k years old) is a classic.

Someone once told me that they went there when it was raining quite heavily. I asked if people were rejoicing or starting to panic 🙂 To me it’s just an amusement park with only one ride…..and I have gotten years of amusement from it 🙂

I would so love it if a real flood hit that area and sank that stupid ark-shaped building and soaked all the stuffed dinosaurs.

Here is another post on the Christian cops at the Ark Encounter. I wonder if the K9’s showed up in pairs?

Yesterday I played a gig at a fish camp, primarily a large restaurant/bar in the swamp with many customers arriving by airboat. The stage is adjacent to the water, and we could see several large gators stalking around the reeds. Somebody remarked “look, is that RFK Jr swimming between those two gators?

re: Why does God’s forgiveness end at Death?

Alex exposes the mental gymnastics horse crap that resides in the brains of apologists.

Have a great week!

Social Security is the kind of thing a caring society that fends for its frail individuals will do. Perhaps you are happy to have people using walkers working in stockrooms. How ’bout trying just a little bit not to be a nation full of greedy assholes?

For that matter all profit businesses are Ponzi schemes as their present value depends on…[Read more]

High earners only pay Social Security on earnings up to a capped value and the rest of the income is not taxed for SS. Raising that cap alone could fix the coming shortfall. Instead, they will likely raise the retirement age and maybe even slash everyone’s check. When dear old grandmama has to move in with the family; smelling like Vick’s Vapor…[Read more]

Unseen, The biggest parts of the National Debt come from the enticements of Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, plus interest on the National Debt. DOGE never even wanted to touch these, but to get rid of the National Debt, there is no avoiding these multiple “Third Rails.”

There is no way out of the fixing the national debt that doesn’t involve raising taxes. But PLEASE not on the overburdened folks at the bottom.
