"hurricane tracks", yeah, that's a new one.

Putting aside the mid-Obama NHC/WMO 'decision' to 'immediately name lesser storms' >70mph, the idea of 'tracks' decided by anything other than opposing centers of pressure is amusing, at best, as much so as the 'decision' to 'immediately name lesser storms'.

I learned a long time ago that people are mostly stupid or greedy, and sometimes they try to kill you. Best to not turn your back on them.

And here's another thing that is no coincidence. No coincidence at all.

[Surprise: The "Smartest" People Are Actually Painfully Stupid]

==================

Romans 1:22 King James Version (KJV)

22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

======================================================================

Romans 1:24-28 King James Version (KJV)

24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:

25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:

27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;

God knows us too well; thankfully, He still loves us.

Oh heck yeah; great quote!!!

Sowell!!!

That has been my issue with pollsters who always have huge “margins of error” in favor of Democrats.

They should be on street corners begging for food!

Compare any of the whose who to Sidney Powell and the conclusion is obvious.

It’s amazing how it’s all lining up just like the Bible said it would.

If this guy really knew his "science" he'd know that in the last four years the US has reduced CO2 emissions faster than the signatories of the Paris Accords. The main consequence of withdrawing from the Accords is those same signatories aren't fleecing the American taxpayer while they don't do much of anything.

I can testify that one wrote a book that is being used to deceive people in churches. And he obviously has no clue how wrong he is with his partial-preterism. Gonna be surprised when he finds out the coming (anti) “messiah” isn’t really THE Messiah.

But then, he may never figure that out.

I went through a period of “intellectual superiority” in my 20s as all of my friends were blue collar and I had gone to college.

I was superior in intellect and ability!! Poor peasants!!

Until I realized that most of these guys could build a house from scratch given the resources needed.

They fixed everything on their own, put things together that I couldn’t even start, were great mechanically while I almost filled my oil container with anti freeze.

They also made a fortune in the government sector is cops and firemen doing overtime. One managed a liquor warehouse and made well over 100k.

at 52, they are all married with children and have beautiful homes and are already retired AND making good money working part time.

So now, at 52, they spend their evenings with their families in their beautiful homes, financially comfortable while I’m half broke, single and sitting here typing on FR while eating stale potato chips :)

Joining the FR board during the day is the highlight of my day.

I don’t know if that’s a good thing...or not....

Dunno - it certainly isn’t a healthy lifestyle. Simply from a cleanliness aspect.

That much is obvious and for certain.
