  • Vanity. Did FDR ever brag about how long Social Security would last?

    I seem to recall reading somewhere that FDR bragged about how long his Social Security program would last. I've been (so far) unable to find any of his quotes on this.

    Down in El Salvador in the specialized prisons there sit one of the most dangerous of things. An army of over 70k humans who will stop at nothing. All concentrated together. This is of a huge danger to the entire western hemisphere and particularly the the citizens of the US Mexico and Canada.Since nothing lasts forever I hope there is a plan in place to bomb the prison complex if there is any indication that these animals may go free? I hope there are bombers on standby. Always.

    This is supposedly the last joke that Ronald Reagan told in public. It was at an event in 1994. He was quite a remarkable man. The joke is in post #1.

    Parents in the United States have quite a lot of freedom when it comes to naming their children. However, some names are banned across the country and cannot be used officially. Naming prohibitions aim to stop people from choosing offensive or confusing names. Trademarks are also usually not permitted. Here are some examples of illegal names in the United States: [snip] If you’re considering an alternative name for your baby, it’s best to check a comprehensive list of illegal baby names in the United States. Other restrictions, like banned characters, or length limits, are imposed at a state level.

    Luke 12:6-7 (King James Version) Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God? But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows. President Trump just rewrites the standards of President of the United States while proudly filling the mantle of Leader of the Free World. Unless you are a braindead DimocRat who swears total allegiance to the Party, Trump has to impress you on his ability to get things done both economically and socially. For so many Americans...

    Perplexity AI Pro and the declassified documents from DNI Tulsi Gabbard | August 10, 2025 | Political Junkie Too
    Connecting The Dots: A Comprehensive Advanced AI Analysis Of The Declassified Durham Annex And Its Criminal ImplicationsExecutive Summary The following is a lengthy AI conversation I had with Perplexity Pro AI discussing the details of the recently declassified documents released by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard. It consisted of open-ended questions based specific linked stories in the news, where the AI then gathered its own citations before forming its response to me. The portion of the conversation that I’m including here is from the end of the conversation; I’m not including some of the earlier Q&A that laid the...

    Background: There are forces that create major shifts, and in the last years there has been a lot of talk about how "You'll own nothing and you'll be happy." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/You%27ll_own_nothing_and_be_happy That is what I am seeing in the real estate sector. Does anybody have any solid sources on the topic that puts things together (an analytical piece that shows where policy changes are driving what is happening), concerning who actually owns the real estate in the US? It appears, but I have no solid sources, that real estate is getting bought up by commercial investors, and often is longer for...

    Archive 2/2010 You, my brothers, were called to be free. But do not use your FREEDOM to indulge the sinful nature; rather, serve one another in love. Gal 5:13 During the campaign Premier Obortion said, if his daughter made a mistake and got pregnant he didn’t want to punish her w/a baby. Could there be a more heartless way of looking at a baby as not only a mistake but a punishment? This is especially disturbing since he was not only a mistake by a teenage mother, but was very likely a rape which all pro-death advocates say should be...

    Isaiah 33:22 (King James Version) For the Lord is our judge, the Lord is our lawgiver, the Lord is our king; he will save us. The PDX Crusade was a bright fire in the darkest place on earth and exploded like sparklers shot at an Antifa rally. It had the feel of the old Billy Graham Crusades which I attended in the old Memorial Coliseum where I came to Christ at 13 years old, so it brought back some old feelings. I got there a couple hours early and was sitting in the second row while the people were doing...
  • There is no "Housing Crisis" (VANITY)

    08/07/2025 5:50:47 AM PDT · by AbolishCSEU · 46 replies
    The media has suddenly focused on inflation after ignoring skyrocketing inflation under Biden. Now they are pimping a so-called "Housing Crisis" for renters. The fact is in most parts of the country there is actually a "Responsible Tenant Crisis." The media cites statistics that there are 15 renters for each apartment. The fact is that out of those 15 renters, possibly one of them is a qualified candidate. Ever since the Scamdemic, when the government told renters that they won't get evicted if they don't pay their rent, many renters lived large off of expanded unemployment checks and simply opted...

    Husbands, LOVE your wives, just as Christ LOVED the church and gave himself up for her… Eph 5:25 How far ahead would America be if they never had Harvard, Yale and Columbia? These three institutions have done more damage to American than any other institutions in the Country. When you look at where communism started in this Country as well as its institutionalization you have to look no further than these schools to their indoctrination of the most wealthy and powerful children who go on to destroy the foundations which brought their families the success and lifestyles they enjoyed.

    FReeper Help Needed - 5,000 Year Project (vanity) Yes, I’m serious. Yes, it really is a 5,000 year project. No, I’m not expecting to be around for the whole thing. Available geological, isotopic and cultural evidence strongly suggests that the Earth goes through periodic disasters. We get a major disaster every 12,000 years with “minor” disasters in the midpoints at 6,000 years. See the background video here (skip the starting ad and ignore the long expired fundraiser at the end) for information about the 6,000 year half cycle. The last 6,000 year event was informally called the Noah event, but...

    It is a valid question to ask what has happened with this woman Sade Perkins who made very inappropriate comments about the victims of the Kerrville area floods that killed over 100 people. It seems like the media completely buried the story about her ugly comments. The pediatrician who made comments was in the news far longer and did not make near the comments this Sade Perkins made. Then, Perkins posted something somewhere showing her weapons and basically threatening anyone who criticized her. How was she able to do that and get away with it? If I were to make...

    Over the past couple of years, I’ve explored dozens of AI video creation websites, and while the results are often impressive, they’re unmistakably AI-generated—especially when it comes to hands. Why do AI videos love giving characters six fingers? It’s frustrating and a dead giveaway!That said, AI video technology has come a long way. The progress is incredible, and it’s only going to get better. But not everyone is thrilled. Some people leave negative comments on my posts, worrying that AI videos will “destroy humanity.” Could they? Well, a well-crafted hoax could certainly stir panic—think of the War of the Worlds...
