The N.Y. Times piece is a “political hack job against a program that helps millions of Americans feed themselves, and we should all be outraged that the New York Times has disguised it as a piece of factual news reporting on its front page.  The O’Connor piece is based on this recent US Department of Agriculture study comparing the grocery purchases of SNAP and non-SNAP shoppers, tracked at a a “leading grocery retailer” over 2011. Its conclusions are quite different from those trumpeted by O’Connor. The report found that “there were no major differences in the expenditure patterns of SNAP and non-SNAP households, no matter how the data were categorized.” That conclusion comes on the heels of a 2014 study by USDA researchers finding that SNAP participants are no more likely to consumer sugary beverages than their non-SNAP peers.

Net interest payments on the debt are estimated to total $395.5 billion this fiscal year, or 6.8% of all federal outlays, according to the Office of Management and Budget. So, you agree that Trump should not have increased the Debt 39 percent when he was in office?

    Это очень мило. 

And it is Imam Greyparrot.

Oh, and it is Jedi ebuc.

Well stated.

Well stated.

Well, you don't own a female escort service.

You know that it is Rabbi  zedvictor4, don't  you?

The smartest Republican President was Dwight D Eisenhower, who had a top tax rate of 90 percent. The stupidest Republican President cut the top tax rate to 37 percent. Also, he increased the national Debt 39 percent.

I always thought that God liked Communism.  Today communism is the official form of government in only five countries: China, North Korea, Laos, Cuba, and Vietnam.

And in the beginning God created the graviton-DarkEon quantum particle and said, "Let there be Light!".

Well, the brain joins together 100 billion neurons with 100 trillion connections, so you can see how something might go wrong.

And yes, this really is a picture of me.

See zedvictor4's comments. In April 1933, German law restricted the number of Jewish students at German schools and universities. 

I am sure that DeSantis will soon ban gays from school when he runs for President.

Sai Kandula is a resident of Chesterfield who crashed a U-Haul truck into a security barrier near the White House at a park.

Sai Varshith Kandula, currently 19 years old, was born in 2004 to a family of Indian descent in Chesterfield, Missouri, United States. It has been confirmed through reliable sources that Sai’s parents originate from the southern part of India, which is considered an emerging superpower.
During his upbringing in Chesterfield, Sai had a pleasant childhood. He was known for being a quiet child who didn’t engage in extensive conversations with his peers. Sai attended Marquette Sr. High School, where he developed an interest in computers. According to his LinkedIn profile, Sai completed his schooling in 2022 and embarked on a job search. He described himself as a dedicated data analyst with a comprehensive understanding of programming languages such as JAVA and Python.

Yes, At the end of World War II, Korea regained its independence after 35 years of imperialist Japanese rule. Per the Yalta Conference agreements, Soviet forces accepted surrender of Japanese forces in northern Korea above the 38th parallel, and U.S. forces south of that line. Korea was then divided into Soviet (North Korean) and U.S. (South Korean) spheres.

Behind closed doors in 2017, President Donald Trump discussed the idea of using a nuclear weapon against North Korea and suggested he could blame a U.S. strike against the communist regime on another country, according to a new section of a book that details key events of his administration.
Trump's alleged comments, reported for the first time in a new afterword to a book by New York Times Washington correspondent Michael Schmidt.

Thomas Edison once said, “So far as religion is concerned, it’s a damned fake. Religion is all bunk.” He also suggested that all religions were created by men, and that “All Bibles are man-made.” 

Being an atheist in a world obsessed with God and religions is surely something that sets one apart! To the layman, an atheist is simply someone who lacks belief in the existence of God or gods. But did you know that atheists are also often very rational, practical and have a scientific approach towards the happenings in the world? One such famous rational atheist is Stephen Hawking, the famed theoretical physicist, cosmologist, author and Director of Research at the Centre for Theoretical Cosmology. Ethologist, evolutionary biologist and author Richard Dawkins is another prominent scientist known for his atheism. While atheism is a serious issue for many, comedian Woody Allen often jokes about God and calls himself a “Jewish-Atheist!” Richard Branson, another well-known atheist states that a belief in God is not necessary to be a good human; it’s the humanitarian values that count. With more and more people choosing to denounce religion, atheism is surely gaining in prominence! 

There, I proved atheism exits!

Brady is now a Raidy!

     How you doin'??

I don't think that would be a problem.

The Ukraine doesn't have any nuclear weapons, does it?

One thing I didn't see in the quiz that I wanted to add was a $2 million tax on Slovenian sex workers that come into the country.

I took the quiz and it said: You fixed the debt.

and Savings relative to current law (billions) $18050

I increased taxes, cut defense spending and increased Social Security.

Did you know that "A Small Light" got 100% on Rotten Tomatoes ?

My mother looked just like Miep in the tv series "A Small Light".

I know, I know , you are probably saying now, Hang Mike Pence, Hang Mike Pense !!!!!!

My great grandfather used to say a lot of bad things about Hitler when he lived in Germany in the 1940's. You would have had Swatika patches all over you and 

you would have told him that Hitler lives in his head. Remember that Trump is the fulfilment of H L Mencken's “The Presidency tends, year by year, to go to such men. As democracy is perfected, the office represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. We move toward a lofty ideal. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart’s desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.”

      We have to make sure this never happens again.

"I have lived with the prospect of an early death for the last 49 years. I'm not afraid of death, but I'm in no hurry to die. I have so much I want to do first," he said.
"I regard the brain as a computer which will stop working when its components fail. There is no heaven or afterlife for broken down computers; that is a fairy story for people afraid of the dark,"   --Stephen Hawking

You aren't one of the authors of the book, are you?

Can you believe that women got the right to vote in the USA in 1920?

Your Afterlife will be the same as your Beforelife.

I can't wait until AI replaces Humans.

Yeah, you and Trump.  The "pee tape" allegedly showed Trump watching two prostitutes pee on a bed at the Ritz-Carlton. 

A 1985 casino-license document showed that Donald Trump owed his father and father’s businesses about $14 million.

Yes, all poor blacks can borrow $14 million from their fathers.

    Are you related to Jim Jones?

Had Trump been born to middle or lower class he most likely would have ended up in jail. Without money to constantly bail him out he would never make it into college. He would end up floating from one dead end job to another as his ego and mouth would get the better of him. If he was drafted, he wouldn’t be able to pay off a doctor to get out of it.
Trump’s empire would likely only consist of one trailer in a trailer park.

See what having money can do?

Adolf Hitler:   "GOD is with us".

Albert Einstein:  “The word 'God' is for me nothing more than the expression and product of human weaknesses, the Bible a collection of honorable, but still primitive legends which are nevertheless pretty childish. No interpretation, no matter how subtle, can (for me) change this.”

People flying airplanes into Trade Centers:  "Allahu Akbar!"  ( ‘God is most great’ )

A parable is just a story used to illustrate a lesson. It conveys a meaning by using an analogy. Jesus used a parable to order his minions to murder non-believers. Christian history shows the horrible bloodthirsty results of this lesson. Christianity fulfilled this lesson beyond the author's wildest imagination.

Remember that Hitler used this to kill Jews.  He gave belt buckles to his troops that said "God Is With Us".

"You do not need the bible to justify love, but no better tool has been devised to justify hate." -Richard A. Weatherwax

The link is fantastic. I just listened to the audio.

" Barefoot and pregnant", am I right?

By December 21, 2020, with just a few weeks left in Trump’s one-term presidency, the national debt had climbed to $27.76 trillion—a 39-percent jump from the $19.95-trillion debt the country had four years prior when Trump was sworn into office. To be fair, he did give himself a big tax break. Putin told him to cut taxes on the rich and that it wouldn't hurt the country.

You have to admit that DeSanctimonius is a lot like Putin.  In 2013, Russia passed the federal anti-gay propaganda law criminalizing the distribution of materials “aimed at creating nontraditional sexual attitudes” or equating “the social value of traditional and nontraditional sexual relations.” These nationalist, value-based policies silenced and criminalized Russia’s already marginalized LGBTQ community often by appealing to sacred text.

A bill, which some opponents have called "Don't Say Gay," was signed by DeSantis in March.

Forty-four percent of young women counted themselves liberal in 2021, compared to 25 percent of young men, according to Gallup Poll data analyzed by the Survey Center on American Life. 

Ron DeSanctimonious?
