    Opinion VS Reality We are all sick and tired of our liberal friends and the totally corrupt liberal media outlets lying to us about very basic facts. They have succeeded to the extent that many Americans are clueless about many demographic facts about our great country. Well, leave it to Carol Carlson to get the latest facts on how opinions of brain-washed Americans differs greatly from the actual facts. So let’s read this great article provided by Carol, and let’s all pledge to ignore the lies and dis-information from the Dems and Fake News, and spread the truth about our...

    China claims that corona virus came from an old bat, but Nancy Pelosi denies being involved. "Payday" candy bar is changing its name because it's offensive to those who don't work If the current power grid can't handle a night of 20 degrees temperatures without rolling blackouts, how are we going to plug-in 100 million electric cars at night? Are there any countries that tax their citizens and send some of it to Americans? Imagine, if you will, a world where every tweet and meme must be fact checked but not a ballot.

    Glass takes one million years to decompose, which means it never wears out and can be recycled an infinite amount of times! Gold is the only metal that doesn't rust, even if it's buried in the ground for thousands of years. when a person dies hearing is the last sense to go. The first sense lost is sight. Your tongue is the only muscle in your body that is attached at only one end. The tooth is the only part of the human body that cannot heal itself. If you stop getting thirsty, you need to drink more water. When...

    A lady walks into Tiffany's. She looks around, spots a beautiful Diamond bracelet and walks over to inspect it. As she bends over to more closely inspect it, she farts. Very embarrassed she looks around nervously to see if anyone noticed her little whoops and prays that a salesperson was not anywhere near. As she turns around her worst nightmare materializes in the form of a salesman standing right behind her. Good looking as well as "cool as a cucumber" he displays all of what you would expect of a professional in a store like Tiffany's. He politely greets the...

    Once in a while, we just have to stand back in awe of our government: The Food Stamp Program, administered by the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture is proud to be distributing the greatest number of free meals and food stamps ever - to 46 million people. Meanwhile, the National Park Service, administered by the U.S. Dept. of Interior, asks us to "Please Do Not Feed the Animals." Their stated reason for the policy is that "the animals will grow dependent on handouts and will not learn to take care of themselves.” Thus, this ends today's lesson. Thank you.

I decide to go through the mail before I wash the car. I lay my car keys on the table, Put the junk mail in the garbage can under the table, And notice that the...

    How do you tell the difference between a Canadian Police Officer, an Australian Police Officer, an American Police Officer and a Scottish police officer? QUESTION:You're a policeman, on duty by yourself. You are walking on a deserted street late at night. Suddenly, an armed man with a huge knife comes around the corner, locks eyes with you and screaming something that sounds like obscenities, raises the knife and lunges at you. You are carrying your truncheon and are an expert in using it. However, you have only a split second to react before he reaches you. What do you do?...

    Q: Doctor, I've heard that cardiovascular exercise can prolong life. Is this true? A: Your heart only good for so many beats, and that it... Don't waste on exercise. Everything wear out eventually. Speeding up heart not make you live longer; it like saying you extend life of car by driving faster. Want to live longer? Take nap.

Beer also made of...

    A Catholic priest and a nun were taking a rare afternoon off and enjoying a round of golf. The priest stepped up to the first tee and took a mighty swing. He missed the ball entirely and said "Shoot, I missed." The good Sister told him to watch his language. On his next swing, he missed again. "Shoot, I missed." "Father, I'm not going to play with you if you keep swearing," the nun said tartly.. The priest promised to do better and the round continued. On the 4th tee, he misses again. The usual comment followed. Sister is really...

    New York Post ^ | 1/4/2023 | Victor Nava
    First son Hunter Biden may finally be forced to reveal the identities of the people buying his pricey paintings — thanks to his ongoing Arkansas child support case. Former flame Lunden Roberts, 31, is demanding “detailed information” on the recovering crack addict Biden’s customers in response to the 52-year-old Hunter’s attempt to lower his child support payments for his four-year-old daughter with Roberts, court papers reveal. In September 2022, Biden appealed to an Independence County, Ark., court for his IOUs to be reduced, claiming “a substantial material change” in his “financial circumstances.” But Roberts, aware of Biden’s recent New York...

    Beer and the Wheel The two most important events in all of history were the invention of beer and the invention of the wheel. Beer required grain and that was the beginning of agriculture. Neither the glass bottle nor aluminum can were invented yet, so while our early humans were sitting around waiting for them to be invented, they just stayed close to the brewery. That's how villages were formed. The wheel was invented to get man to the beer and vice versa. These two were the foundation of modern civilization and together were the catalyst for the splitting of...

A billion minutes ago Jesus was alive . C. A billion hours ago our ancestors were living in the Stone Age. D. A billion days ago no-one walked...
