He walked out of the barbershop very unhappy with his haircut all he wanted to do was go home. But you wanted to take his picture. His eyes reveal his thoughts.
I am religious, but I am not stupid
I am religious, but I am not stupid
I am a Christian, but I am not stupid. I know some things in the Bible are completely out of date. I hate it when people tell me I’m not a good Christian because I cherry pick the versus I like and do not like. Doesn’t Judaism teach us to question everything? I know I am not a Jew. But I did my ancestry kit and it turns out that I’m actually quite Jewish. We were the kind of Jews that are in Fiddler on the Roof. You don’t talk about it. But your blood can’t tell a lie. So I am Christian with Jewish blood. Which is kind of cool, because Jesus was a Jew. And Jesus is my favorite person! Today is Passover. A holiday that I love. I am Christian so we are currently in the middle of Lent, but I love Passover. You read the book of Exodus and you remember the story of Moses, and it’s lots of fun! But just because I know about religion, does not mean I’m stupid. I am not about to kill an animal so I can put his blood on my doorstep so that God will bypass me and I won’t get covid-19. It would make a nice story, but I don’t think it would really happen. I think the Bible is a complete allegory. God is not a hateful and vicious God. God did not want to kill the firstborn of the Egyptians. If you ask me, God probably had nothing to do with it. I think the story teaches us that it’s not right to enslave a people. Ever. Maybe all the Egyptian babies died because the Egyptian water was bad, I don’t know, I am just saying– just because we are religious does not mean we have to be stupid. Why would God be so vengeful? Why would God be so hateful? My God is a loving God. And I think most decent Muslims feel the same way. I stink the most decent Jews feel the same way. I think the most decent Amish feel the same way. I think the most decent Christian feel the same way. I think the most decent people feel the same way. So that’s my take on religion. I love them all in their own way. But I especially love religious people who are not stupid. Don’t be too fundamental about anyting. It never goes over well.
$15 minimum wage
$15 minimum wage
$15 minimum wage it’s not going to happen. It was never going to happen. It sucks, but I knew it wasn’t going to happen. I’m confused why anyone thought it was actually going to happen.
Yes, mr. Biden agreed to $15 minimum wage. But that was a campaign promise. How often in your life have you seen campaign promises come true? And we must remember mr. Biden is not a progressive. Kamala Harris’s though. As a progressive., I knew going into this election that Joe Biden was a moderate. But all that mattered to me was that we get rid of Donald Trump! And if that meant I had to Rally behind a moderate, so be it. We were successful. We got rid of Donald Trump.
Now that we have succeeded, progressives are wondering where are all of the things that were supposed to be done for progressives! We helped get you the presidency, you have to help us! We want $2,000 checks. We want $15 minimum wage. I want that too, my friends, but I knew going in that that was a dream.
We will be lucky if we get $1,400 checks. We will be lucky if we get $11 minimum wage. If we get a minimum wage increase at all! But remember, my friends, we still have Kamala Harris. The real Progressive. And she is now Vice President. Just wait four or eight years. Eventually, we will see that $15 minimum wage!
It is now the day before Donald Trump’s second impeachment trial in the Senate. He will not be impeached in the Senate. We know this. It sucks. But just like the minimum wage, let’s just be happy that he is gone. And if he is allowed to run again in 2024 do not vote for him! If we cannot stop him, let us do it the old-fashioned way. The same way we didn’t let him get a second term. For me this is a no-brainer. And honestly, I’m not that happy about Joe Biden oh, he was my number 8 pick! But we got rid of Donald Trump. And that makes me happy.
We will see a $15 minimum wage in our lifetime. Remember, we still have Kamala Harris. I am resting my Laurels on her. My Laurels were never resting on Joe Biden. I am so happy he is there. I am so grateful that we defeated Donald Trump! But that was never my goal. I am a true Progressive. And someday I will see the little man get $15 minimum wage.
Donald’s world
I live in Donald’s world. A world without fear.
No fear of ever hurting the Earth. But why, is unclear
Here we burn lots of coal, I’m told the carbon footprint is a good thing.
These liberals cry, stop it! You’re killing the planet!– a typical song they sing.
So to make them happy, we used a Wind Mill. Green energy makes them smile,
But wouldn’t you know it the damn Birds got caught, a bird graveyard for a mile!
You see going green is bad! Don’t get me started on that solar power.
Those panels are ugly. We would rather have a giant smoke Tower.
In our world, we don’t tax the rich. Everyone knows, Trickle down Economics work!
What do you mean the poor are still poor? They get $7.50 in minimum wage you jerk!
We Believe Healthcare is a privilege, not a right.
So keep paying those insurance premiums! Your good health is in sight.
So you just had a cough, only pay your deductible and go home!
I’m sure if there’s a problem someone will call you on the phone
It has been two weeks, I’ve heard nothing but you charged me two thousand bucks!
I’m starting to think your system is broken. Everything you say sucks!
We don’t want to live in Donald’s world anymore. We gave everything to you.
But you just took our money, you screwed everything up, it’s time for someone new.
The bad fruit tree
Abigail lived on a farm and sold fruit from her fruit trees.
One tree always had rotten fruit. She would scream at the tree, just grow good fruit please!.
She thought maybe she should chop the tree down.
It just will always be rotten, she thought with a frown.
Then one day a plague came to town.
Death and sickness we’re all around!
Everyone, even animals were getting sick.
But her pigs showed her a little trick
Everyone’s pigs in town had died. But not hers. And she had no idea why
Then she caught one eating a bad fruit! Maybe we should give that a try
So she gave all her animals a piece of bad fruit. And they all stayed healthy.
She could sell them all and be quite wealthy.
Then she thought, maybe I should give everyone a piece.
She did. It gave the sick sweet release!
It seems the bad fruit were actually The Cure.
What was in it no one was quite sure.
But she saved the town. And she saved the day.
A stroke of good luck! Many would say.
Abigail I was lucky. And she said to me,
I am sure glad I didn’t chop down that tree!
Ancient Aliens
Ancient Aliens
Ancient alien theorists say yes.
To everything. More or less.
They can’t believe in God so they pretend.
It must be Little Green Men! Their credit we send
A conspiracy theory is not based on faith
And saying it out loud is kind of a disgrace.
Everything with this President is a conspiracy theory!
His Madness is starting to make me quite weary.
There is no cure for this virus, don’t listen to him!
Children are not immuned. If they get sick, it looks grim.
You got more truth watching Ancient Aliens. And that is pretty sad.
Everything that Donald Trump says makes me mad.
You might as well watch fiction on TV.
You will get more truth there, that I see.
What were we expecting? We voted him in!
And conspiracy theories were no longer a sin.
How did any of us think it would ever get this far
That’s right, we voted in a TV reality star!
You probably got more truth from Ancient Aliens than the news.
Please everyone, this November let him lose!
I miss watching TV and knowing what’s real.
Because Ancient Aliens is looking pretty good, what’s the deal?
When fiction becomes reality, and absolutely nothing makes sense.
Governments are falling. And the world is getting tense.
Watching Ancient Aliens, I wonder where reality went?
Conspiracy theorist say it lies with the president!
Come back to earth my friends. And live in the real.
Aliens can’t save you no matter what you feel.
This is November go out and vote. And maybe you will see.
There is no sanity watching TV.
Reality is all around, go ahead and take a look!
Don’t turn on your TV. Read a really good book.
We are smarter than this. Don’t believe what ancient alien theorists say.
If you do that, possibly this nightmare will go away!
This November, let someone else win.
Truth is not in Aliens. It lies within.
Within you. But you must open your eyes!
See that this President just spread lies and More Lies.
Aren’t you all just worn out and a little tired?
Send him back to The Apprentice. Tell him, you are fired!
Maybe aliens came once. But they won’t come again.
Not as long as Donald Trump is here my friend.
Would you visit this planet when the world is such a mess?
You would have better luck with them visiting if the president was David koresh!
As long as we are bickering, they will never come.
Ancient astronaut theorists say yes, but they are just dumb.
Use logic. Occam’s razor. They might’ve come once before.
But until Trump is gone I tell you they’re right outside the door!
If like me you want the aliens to visit again you know what to do.
Save the human race, this year vote blue!
