Also don't forget that Trump increased the National Debt 43 percent to give himself a tax break.

One of Trump’s marketing professors at Wharton, the late William Kelley, apparently thought little of his student. A close friend of the professor, Frank DiPrima, said that Kelley told him 100 times over three decades that “Donald Trump was the dumbest goddam student I ever had.”

Remember that in 1920 H L Mencken said: “As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. 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.”

How many MAGA MORONS on this site have lost money investing in DJT stock?
It might not be "their", it could be the Church's money.

In the past, deterioration of incorrupt corpses could be attributed to exposing the body to bad air. According to a team of modern paleopathologists from the University of Pisa, that’s actually not too far from the truth. With the Vatican’s support, the team studied microenviornments in the former tombs of incorrupt corpses. They discovered that small differences in temperature, moisture, and construction techniques lead to some tombs producing naturally preserved bodies while others in the same church didn’t. Now you can debate God’s role in choosing which bodies went into which tombs before these differences were known, but I’m going to stick with the corpses. Once the incorrupt bodies were removed from these climates or if the climates changed, they deteriorated. This may have been what happened to St. Francesca Romana who was deemed incorrupt four months after her death in 1440 only to be found fully skeletonized in 1698 (though you still hear people refer to her as incorrupt).

Well, the “King of Debt” promised to reduce the national debt — then his tax cuts made it surge. Add in the pandemic, and he oversaw the third-biggest deficit increase of any president.

NDEs can be either positive or negative experiences. The former receive all the press and relate to the feeling of an overwhelming presence, something numinous, divine. A jarring disconnect separates the massive trauma to the body and the peacefulness and feeling of oneness with the universe. Yet not all NDEs are blissful—some can be frightening, marked by intense terror, anguish, loneliness and despair.
It is likely that the publicity around NDEs has built up expectations about what people should feel after such episodes. It seems possible, in fact, that distressing NDEs are significantly underreported because of shame, social stigma and pressure to conform to the prototype of the “blissful” NDE.

This is a new song I am writing.
Humans huh, yeah
What are they good for?
Absolutely nothing, uhh
Humans, huh, yeah
What are they good for?
Absolutely nothing
Say it again, y'all
Humans, huh (good God)
What are they good for?
Absolutely nothing, listen to me, oh
Humans, I despise
'Cause the cause destruction of innocent lives
Human's wars means tears to thousands of mother's eyes
When their sons go off to fight
And lose their lives.

More than 300 years before the birth of Christ, Aristotle was busy establishing the roots of Western science. A keen observer of nature, he wrote voluminously about the animal life known to him. Like all biologists since, Aristotle needed a systematic way to arrange the creatures he described, a logical way to organize them for description and study. He recognized that certain groups of animals could be placed together on the basis of similarities in structure and that these were separated from other such groups by gaps or discontinuities in form or internal organization. To Aristotle the groups exhibited different levels of complexity that could be ordered from simplest to most complex. Aristotle thus organized all animal life into an ascending, linear sequence, or “scale of beings.” Not surprisingly we humans were at the top of the heap (exalted by virtue of our “rational soul” and “high degree of life”). Diversity, Aristotle seemed to say, can be rank-ordered—and there’s only room for one at the top.

Yes, The Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) is the cooled remnant of the first light that could ever travel freely throughout the Universe. This 'fossil' radiation, the furthest that any telescope can see, was released soon after the 'Big Bang'. Scientists consider it as an echo or 'shockwave' of the Big Bang.

See the book, Children of Lucifer: The Origins of Modern Religious Satanism
Abstract
Satanism adopts Satan, the Judeo-Christian representative of evil, as an object of veneration. This book explores the historical origins of this extraordinary “antireligion.” While the concept of people worshipping Satan was actually an invention of Christianity to demonize its internal and external competitors, this dark stereotype created by the Church eventually came to be embraced as a positive (anti)religious identity by some in the modern West. Children of Lucifer traces the long and tortuous trajectory to this unique occurrence, a story that involves Romantic poets, radical anarchists, eccentric esotericists, Decadent writers, and schismatic exorcists, among others, culminating in the establishment of the Church of Satan by the carnival entertainer Anton Szandor LaVey. Yet it is more than just a collection of colorful characters and unlikely historical episodes. The emergence of new attitudes to Satan proves to be intimately linked to the Western Revolution, the ideological struggle for emancipation that transformed the West and is epitomized by the American and French Revolutions. It is also closely connected to secularization, that other exceptional historical process during which Western culture spontaneously renounced its traditional gods in order to enter into a self-chosen state of religious indecision. As this study seeks to show, the emergence of Satanism thus presents a shadow history of the evolution of modern civilization as we know it.

From DoctoreVoreText:
No algorithmic test can accurately measure personality.
Now, the reason why is ambiguous and abstract, Personality is subjective and can't be objectively measured numerically. The best we can do is rely on consistency in qualitative observation. Additionally, tests cannot interpret answers. If you take everyone's inherent narcissistic need to be blind to their own weaknesses, then the best tests can do is identify behavior. Psychology is understanding the cause of that behavior. Any dumbass can tell when someone is angry or sad, but it takes much more depth to know why and even more to know what should be done. Tests cannot determine the why or the how because they have no way to measure scales or contexts. They can ask "Are you an organized person?" but they can't ask why or why not, which is what actually matters. Any ESTP can be the most humble, pious, traditional fellow and any INFJ can be a party animal who lives for thrills. What makes them their type is why they are what they are, why they do what they do, and how they got there.
