Possessions Posses US

Submitted by Admin on

Anything we can't give away after it has outlived its usefulness possesses us, and in this materialistic age, unfortunately too many of us are possessed by our personal possessions.

If we have enough for food, housing, clothing, if we have enough for a certain level of freedom in transportation, if we have enough money or insurance for unforeseen conditions, and if we have enough for the basic survival necessities, we are fine and should be grateful.

"Jesus Was Booked"

Submitted by Admin on

Is Sarah Palin a religious person, does she lack common sense, or simply insensitive to Christians?

Could it be considered blasphemy by stating "Jesus was booked" following Good Friday and Ester Sunday? Can we agree this is the American people's house, over 70% of which are Christians?

@SarahPalinUSA says she invited @TedNugent and @KidRock to the White House because "Jesus was booked" http://politi.co/2p0CUgI

Too many people wrongly assume that creativity and being inventive fades with age, but the opposite is true.

I have often watched or encountered age discrimination especially in the media and technical fields. Unfortunately, the frat-boy culture of Silicon Valley has only gotten younger and cockier.

Did you know that April 20 is commonly known as marijuana day? Pot smokers everywhere are celebrating the unofficial holiday of the wacky weed.

This is the marijuana culture's high holiday when folks fly to pot shops in legal weed states to take advantage of sales.

In 1971, a group of students pot-heads puts their collective heads together at a San Rafael High campus in the San Francisco Bay area @ 4:20 p.m. 420 became their code word for pot. It is also common knowledge that medical marijuana is being prescribed throughout the US.

The president insisted he stood behind Bill, but apparently not close enough. He said Mr. Bill had done nothing wrong, but his bosses felt otherwise.

Now that Bill has been outfoxed, will he turn up as the new press secretary?

Or will Mr. Bill run for president? https://youtu.be/YEKJp9BMzUU

Kicking Asteroid

Submitted by Admin on

NASA officials are warning of a predicted asteroid that will brighten to about magnitude 11 when it could be visible in small optical telescopes for one or two nights before it fades in the distance from earth.

A 65-foot-wide meteor exploded in the sky on 2/15/13 with the power of 20 atomic bombs. We hope asteroid 2014 JO25 flies safely past earth tonight https://go.nasa.gov/2pg4rvz

Tax Day USA

President Trump says he can not release his taxes because he is being audited, but his most recent taxes which were due to be filed today can not be under audited so quickly right?

What's wrong with a leader who seeks tax reform, but refuses to share his own forms?
