What is Witchcraft 03 31 2025

 Is witchcraft studying the chemical properties of herbs so that you might add a little fennel root from the grocery store to your soup because you read it is good for the lungs?  No, that isn't witchcraft.

Is witchcraft steroid doping of athletes to make them seem superior or to give them a competitive advantage in the Olympics?  I would say absolutely yes that is witchcraft.

And when a Communist country dopes their athletes what are they attempting to prove?  They completely disprove Communism by doing that.  As if the best of the best are being picked for athletic events?  No.  They are trying to prove that there Government is something that it isn't and can never be, and I would assert that they are using witchcraft to do that.  Hence Communism degraded to Witchcraft in futility?

And then we get the athlete who doesn't have all the genes in the right place, and they dope here in the U.S. too, don't they?  So I would say that is witchcraft.  To go to the length of witchcraft in order to prove yourself better?  It only proves you worse, weaker and inferior.  And what is it sum certain of?  A delusion of self.

If I get time I will post a photo of my cup of pea soup that has perhaps a 1/4 cup of chopped fennel root in it.

Ps. And now I am going to get a little Republican like.  I would say that giving children drugs that change their sexual identity is witchcraft.  I would say that giving children what amounts to prescription amphetamines or narcotics is witchcraft.  I would say that a lawyer taking cocaine is witchcraft.  I would say that people who are killed with fentanyl/opiates are killed by witchcraft.  And if we end in war with a foreign nation that is pumping that into our country may Gods wrath be upon them.

Were the demons cast out of human beings by Jesus Christ put there by Witchcraft?  I would strongly assert yes they were!

What else?

IDK, my soup is getting cold.

I could talk about cancer causing alcohol and cigarettes?  Yeah, you dog gone tooting its witchcraft.

Is me adding a little ginger to my soup witchcraft?  No, get lost if you think it is you bum from the tracks ancestry.

Is a President threatening to put human beings who are tormented by demonic voices into institutions and drugged witchcraft?  You G/D right it is.

Politics 03 31 2025

When the reason they say they are doing something doesn't match up with the solution they are putting through.

Sunday Preaching by Thomas Paul Murphy

 The Bible states that we are not to be proud.

And I am sure it was that same very nice and holy voice of God that told those concentrating on working that they are a stiff necked people.

But if we can't be proud, then what can we do?

We can, "Make note of accomplishments."

Just make mental note of accomplishments.

Otherwise the skill set of the human race is gone and lost and we live in tribulation tribalization.  Seems to be the goal of one political party and also perhaps a duality of their adversaries, it somehow being their goal too?

Make note of your accomplishments.

Did not Jesus Christ also say something similar to that?  To tittle, which means write whatever little bit you can?

Is not writing a note of accomplishment?  Not everyone can do it.  It used to be considered what defined the elite.

And what do ghost writers give us?  They give us the falsified elite.

Make note of your accomplishments.

To tittle is to take title?  Perhaps?  To tittle is to take title to your own human mind.

Steak Carrots Rice 03 29 2025 updated

Whoa I got to tell you.  I took a bag of carrots in a pot with just enough water to cover them plus a little more.  Pinch of salt.  Started a boil and then turned to lowest setting.  Drained the water later, when soft.  Then added a little brown sugar, maybe a pinch of allspice and...sesame seed oil.  Not much, couple t's or a T.  Trying to get away from butter.  But they were great.  But the residue of that, while I was cleaning the pot right now had a really unique candy flavor.  Very interesting.

The rice was 3 different types bought in one packet.  And that was really good to.

Pickup Truck Design 03 29 2025

 So you have a cab portion with a back window and the bed portion.

Why can't there be a hatch below the window to the back bed?

Whereby if you had a low cover on the bed portion you could fit a 10 foot pole in there?  And it would be secure.

And you would not have to buy the biggest truck.

Off topic:

Shouldn't there be a standard for SUVs that they have to have a V6?

Perhaps Trucks a V8?

I think engines could be made more efficient.  They could also strive to make them easier to work on.  I mean not just for the diy guy but also the mechanic.

A 14 hour job that will likely be needed at 100,000 miles?  Get that time down.

End up buying a foreign one?  Who benefits? It makes us more of a dependent colony?

You know what else?  Like we don't have the authority over here to execute those who commit crimes against humanity?  Like a British think tank has never not been at work?

Environmental Regulations and the Car Industry 03 25 2025

Government Cost Cutting 03 29 2025

While Elon and Donald are at it, there are a lot of costs that need to be wrung out of the oil industry.

I would blame high oil prices on the predicament of foreign cars versus American.  I would blame arms and legs missing from IEDs on the oil industry.  I would blame alcoholics living on oil pensions... 

I would blame all missteps in alt energy on the oil industry.

I would blame plastic in our bodies and low birth rates on the oil industry.

I could say how many cases of leukemia?  

I would blame Wars and assassinations on the oil industry.

I would blame conflicts with foreign nations on the oil industry.

I would blame unfair employment on them.

******'

So a 25% tariff on a foreign made car?

I don't know what to buy now.

So if a Honda is made in the USA that is tariff free?

But if say a Buick or Ford is made in Mexico or Canada that is subject to tariff?

And I believe in buying American brand names.

But that isn't what is implied by the tariffs is it?

You know what?  If I had that Presidential authority and wanted to wield it in that manner I would state you can't sell a car in the U.S. if your company has a name that is odd or screeching to our English speaking ears.  That is right.  I would make you change your entire foreign company name.  You are not going to litter over here in any way.

I don't care if your company was named after a WW2 emperor and that is your proud legacy? Wait a minute, maybe I do?  Maybe I am on to something there?

Get down on the ground you mother fvcker 03 26 2025

So that is what the Police are saying these days before they shoot and kill someone?

I don't have much to say about this.  And I am not asserting that I would be any better than that if I were a Police Officer.  

I just think it escalates it.  Does it not have a tiny element of intent to kill no matter what?

I am not saying it is hate speech.  I will say that hate speech should be legal.

And perhaps it is highly representative of this, (yes I am trying to be cryptic)..."Genocide is completely fine as long as it isn't us you are committing it against?"

And with regards to that.  Perhaps we have either a bad mix or illegitimate leadership?

Can a mix be made good with good leadership?

Can bad leadership create a bad mix where there wasn't any mix at all?

Yes, and yes.

I am not trying to judge.  I am just commenting on my observation?  Is it coaching?  You know coaches do need to judge.  And competition is a big part of our nation today.  So whether we are talking about judging or favoritism comes into play?  Is what you see going on judging or emotionally disturbed subjectivism?  And what honest introspection do you have with regard to yourself?

Innocuous Perspective? 03 26 2025

 "Did your daddy give you a name son?"

It is one of those things that seems rather innocuous.  But it wouldn't mean the same thing to everyone it was said to would it?  Not in a Republican pro life world?  So we have to watch our tongue?  Lest we say something that seems rather innocuous to ourselves?

Should we consider ourselves today as being from a group of people that takes our belief system for granted?  I mean have you ever really quickly pissed off an emotionally disturbed person with a comment you believed to be innocuous?

And perhaps we see that as a motif in the movies?  Something that serves as a message to us and helps us learn about a part of our world we previous took for granted as being normal as our own?

You know and a really good question is how many people have been victims of violence for their previously believed to be innocuous perspective?

Can I tell you what our country was founded to be?  It was founded on freedom of speech giving the weak a standard to try their best to become.

© 2025 Thomas Paul Murphy

Did you know that a person with schizophrenia is 13 times more likely to be a victim of violence than a perpetrator of it?  For their unrepresented innocuous perspective?

Our Constitution also bars large fines? 

And what happens when you fine someone a large amount?  Isn't it almost akin to an act of violence?  As if you just took away the meaning of any honest work or learning that they did in their life?  For however long it took them to do that honest work? 

If I have to work 150 years with a college education to get the same lifestyle as so and so, because I was fined, isn't that like a crippling burden?  Sure you don't like the comparison of it being likened to an act of violence.  You can't think in new terms of learning?

Government 101

 Print as much money for yourself as you need and collect money from everyone who earned it.

Why?  Because the money of those who earned it is the only money that has actual value.  Hence that money would be highly coveted by those who printed money for themselves.  So the only way money of your country has value in total is if you take some from those who actually earned it.

If you are not collecting it from the rich it means that the rest of the population isn't represented.

So how does a sycophant then respond? "Okay, you have to forgive me.  I didn't understand that is how it worked.  Alright I promise to attempt to be one of you.  Honest to God I am trying very hard to be one of you.  I won't ask no questions."

Republicanisms 03 25 2025

So if your High School daughter comes home from spring break pregnant that is a apparently a good thing?  It has to be a good thing because Republicans state it would be a crime to abort it?

Pardon me but do you feel like that is representation?  Do you feel like that represents your belief system?  Do you feel that someone was working very hard and brave to represent that as being your belief for you?

Do hillbillys even think that way?  Do black parents in the core think that way?

Who thinks that way?  Are we guessing at how the general public thinks?  Or did someone tell us them that no matter what idea that they think of it is a great idea?  Because they didn't want them to be extremely or terminally disappointed with the product of their own minds?

Metric Facts 03 21 2025

 A meter is more than a yard but a kilometer is less than a mile.

Very very useful information.

Now let's change some decimal points and add those two numbers and see what we get. 39.37 + 62.13=101.5

The answer is 101.5

What's the dud? 03 21 2025

 So it looks like our country is being propagandized as really being a business by Republicans and some Democrats?

Alright.  We can go with that.

And we want to make it a manufacturing economy again?

But in a manufacturing plant what is the goal?  That the defective parts (duds?) are not produced.

So if we were a pure business economy then we would want to apply that principle to everything about our nation?  And to me that would seem to fun against the false idealism of prolife and it is a crime to have an abortion?

I mean first thing is first right? 

If you are making widgets and they are coming out of the line defective then the first thing you have to do is recognize the defective products.  And then you implement measures so that the assembly line only puts forth saleable new products.

But what if you had leaders that were like birds that fly backwards?  They probably can't even conceive of what I am saying.

And what is the moral here?  If you are going to be what you are portending to be then be it?  Again, just like in a manufacturing factory line.  You don't say, we are only going to make a half product and sell it as a half product intended to be used as a whole product.  I mean like, we will sell a car that is supposed to have 4 wheels, but we will only put two wheels on it.

The last thing republicans want to do is truly recognize and ask the question, "What's the dud?"

This country needs alcohol revenue because it ensures us of a consistent supply of duds?

Hence, Republicans are the very reason we no longer have a manufacturing economy.  It is kind of an odd kid on drugs service economy.

Donald and Elon 03 19 2025

 If Donald Trump trusts Elon Musk so much with your American lives why doesn't he go up into space in one of Elon Musks Space X Rocket Ships with him?

And what a wonderful way for Elon Musk to say thank you to Donald Trump, to offer to take him up into space in one of his Space X Rocketship's.

And how could Donald Refuse such a great offer as that from someone he has entrusted so much too.

© 2025 Thomas Paul Murphy

And to be fair it is really remarkable that Space X was able to rescue those astronauts.

And Elon did indeed make that electric car Co Tesla work and be profitable, like a turn around story.  So can you blame Donald for hiring him to turn around the financials of our country?

But we are not really a business are we.  We are a nation of the free.

Which brings up another topic in the back of my mind.  Are the uneducable more cowardly?  A coward for the intents and purpose of this argument someone that will not do the right thing.

I bring it up as we see Trump wanting to eliminate the Department of Education.

There is an element of creating fascism through that?  See how?  If you give someone who is uneducable a job they are not going to ask questions are they!  They are just going to be glad to have that job.  And they are going to be in a group mind with people exactly like that are they not?  Praise the hand that feeds them no matter what and don't ask questions.  So one could say that fascist type leaders thrive on the cowardliness of the uneducable?  Sure I didn't articulate it pointedly enough.  But I assert it is true.

But the Catholic Church once said they don't believe you get your soul from your parents?  To me statements like that shock me.  They never explained it.  Even though I know they are wrong.  But perhaps it is true of them.  And if that is true of them, then what else is true of them?  That they get a sense of education from someone else too?

So I worked for an Italian as I went to college.  And he told me that he was right there with me in my learning and getting my college degree.  I forget how he said it. He was implying something.  And we both knew it and I didn't like it. I am the one who did that thinking and did that work, not him.  I think Republicans are like that.  I also once heard that Italians have a figure of Godparent to them and it isn't their god father or mother it is someone else?  I can't remember the language.  But I am indeed implying something about soul theft.  So what is that?  Someone who believe that they are educated, and they are not?  Someone who believes that they make decisions like and educated person when they do not?  That is illegitimacy.  And that is right in line with the pro life movement isn't it!  Is there class in illegitimacy?  Nah.

So, yeah, I know this type of writing could be used by completely rotten people to condemn me.  I don't care.  I do ask questions.  I search for the truth.  I believe in the good fight.

*****'

Honest to God, wouldn't that Rocketship ride do Trump good?  A Marx brothers' event?

Good night.

 A Brief History of Catholic Prohibition - The Catholic Thing

Did JFK believe in Ireland Independence 03 17 2025

So the JFK files will be released soon?  That got me thinking.

Did JFK believe in Ireland Independence? 

Yes.  That alone could turn a criminal element in some think tank institution against him?  Some organization that can kill people and get away with it?  Trying to be vague.

And if 80,000 files are released and perhaps redacted or nothing conclusive...criminal elements have their own lingo and abbreviations with regard to killing people, don't they?

*****' 

Criminality and alcohol.  It might be entirely a coincidence that Southern Ireland gained its Independence in 1921 and Prohibition started in the US in 1920?  Did Prohibition in the US give Britain some worry?  

Idk, just thinking aloud.

And perhaps the way to ask that question is did European countries lose money during Prohibition in the US.  The answer is yes.

So they were weakened by it.

I don't believe in the validity of alcohol revenue.

******'

And if you follow the money the in trail there was an element of big oil in the JFK assassination.  If I lived in a stroke free environment I would have the quote and reference to it ready.

They would have you believe in UFOs rather than the truth about some being tormented by mysterious jealous insulting voices.

Cranberry Rhubarb Pie 3 16 2025 Complex Recipe Included

 




Cranberry Rhubarb Pie Recipe

I picked this rhubarb late in the fall. And it might be termed old growth rhubarb? Because it was big stalks. I washed it at that time and placed it in the freezer.

And it took up a lot of space in my freezer. And all this time I have been thinking that I should have thrown that rhubarb out a long time ago. So seeing as it was old I thought about giving it back some zing in some way. Hence the cranberries.

So here is what I did.

Mix the flour and sugar first.

I took half a bag of cranberries, perhaps 6 oz worth, 1/3 cup of white sugar/flour mix, and about a cup of water and put it in a 10 inch frying pan. I heated it up quickly. I added a pinch of each spices listed in the notes. And if you can taste the spices in it you have added too much. While in the frying pan I mashed it all with a potato masher and stirred it so as not to burn. When I got more of a jelly out of it I cut the burner and pulled the pan aside.

In the meantime I had gotten the bag of rhubarb out of the freezer. And it was freezer burned left and right with ice crystals in it!!! Again I thought I should have thrown this out.

I ran water into that bag a few times and poured off what might be called the melt. I placed the rhubarb in a mixing bowl and added perhaps a half a cup of white vinegar and enough water to cover the rhubarb. In an effort to revive the flavor.

From there I cut the rhubarb up as small as I could and then placed it in the frying pan with the cranbery preparation. No heat or anything, just stir to mix. To it I added one cup of white sugar that I had mixed with 4 Tablespoons of barley flour.

Preheat oven to 450 df

Crust preparation:

First though I had added some flour to the bottom of the pie pan. All the while I pulled the box of two store bought pie crusts out of the freezer and thawed them as quick as I could. I had the plastic bags in warm water at the base of the sink. Then I took one roll of it and spread it across the top of my steam rising berry pan and that seemed to help me peel it open better. And sure a piece broke. But I easily just putty formed it in place in the bottom of the pan. Not to hard to to.

To that you place some of the flour sugar mix at the bottom of the pie pan. Then you add your cranberry/rhubarb pie filling preparation from the skillet. Put little cubes of butter from a T of butter on tomp of that. And drape the top crust over. Now usually when I make a pie it is billowing full or domed. This one was more low like those cheap pies at the grocery store. But this was no cheap tasting pie at all. I was right about the zing.

450 20 minutes then 300 20 minutes, internal temperature was 196 Degrees F upon removal as measure with an IR Laser Thermometer. (Don't sweat the high tech, they are only $6 bucks on sale at the discount hardware store sometimes.)

Ingredients:

6 oz cranberries

6 T Barley Flour

1 1/3 cups white sugar

box of two pie crusts

4 cups rhubarb

1 T Butter

pinch of cardamon, ginger, star anise, cinnamon.

I did indeed run this off of a recipe I found on the internet by Carol and

All Recipes titled Fresh Rhubarb Pie. By that I used that as a reference for what a base pie would be.

This pie tasted like the most incredible cherry pie you ever had? It was unbelievable. And sure I was tempted to put a cap of bourbon in it. But I didn't. Didn't want to corrupt the starting idea.

Another Church Lie 03 15 2025

 Another Church lie is that Satan was completely defeated and gone.

*****'

If that were true Jesus Christ would not have needed to teach us how to drive demons out of someone by looking them in the eye and stating, "In the name of Jesus Christ Satan be gone." (That is just per my memory)

But look at the interchange here!  In this link!  They got into it didn't they!  Each declaring the other was able to cast out demons because they were indeed the demon!  Wow!  Very prophetic!

And there is also a bit of unrealized history there isn't there!  Jesus said they were doing the same thing, casting out demons too!  It is in this paraphrase quoted meaning from that link, "If you say that I cast them out by...then who do you say you are casting them out by???

48 Bible verses about Casting Out Demons

© 2025 Thomas Paul Murphy

Sunday Preaching: John 3:16

"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."

Why does it say "only" son?

How did whoever wrote that (John?) know it was God's "only" son?

And why is it so important for people to believe that was God's "only" son?

Could God only have one son?  How come God could only have one son?  Why didn't God want to have more than one son?

If the world (world not people?) benefitted from one son of God would it not benefit from two sons of God?

Who desperately needs to believe that a sense of perfection or perfecting is unattainable? Who would profess you are not perfect so don't even try to be?

So God gave us his only son and then what happened to that God that gave us his only son?

Because you are not to believe anything unless it is interpreted to you by a priest?  And what does it mean to believe in him?  And here you have great contradictions?  

There are those of us who read the Bible and what Jesus said and did and we think to ourselves being like that is believing in him.  And Jesus himself affirmed that version, by telling us you will suffer for being that way.  Then there is the shorthand belief and lesser sell, which states all you have to do is declare he is your savior.  That in essence means you should not strive to emulate his teachings or actions.  It's pointless you are flawed and incapable of it.  Pretty discouraging, dismal isn't it?  In effect to the point that it is anti religion or even antichrist.

And it really can't be both ways because they are dichotomous contradictions.

Do you know what the short sell version is one that lessens the belief in God and that is a big no, no per the Bible!  The short sale version is deception.  And Satan is the deceiver.

(By short sale I mean a short sales pitch designed to work on those who have no concept or study of the Bible.  And indeed it lessens the belief in God of those who studied religion, and that is a big no, no.)

Okay one thing that they taught in Catholic School is substantially meaningful, "God is not powerless over Satan."

So if you are on hard times remember that.  A believe in God, in your own goodness, might help get you out of "it.". Whatever it is.  Satan has many weaknesses.  Weaknesses you might not be aware of.

© Copyright 2025 Thomas Paul Murphy 

The reason you would be motivated to lessen the Catholic belief system is that it played a big part in defeating Rome and other corrupt Governments throughout history?  Because do you know what it amounts to, the belief in that the good self.

I also believe there are other elements or religious traditions that detract from the true Catholic belief system.  Where they put in place to ultimately defeat it?

 So the idea that no foreign country should be allowed to own Unites States farmland came up for discussion on an internet site.  And I am for that idea.  And really all Real Estate here should be U.S. owned.

Some people argued that we should really give all the land back to the Native Americans?

So what is wrong with that?

It has to do with this, you don't form a country unless you believe it to be based on superior idealisms?  And that is exactly what we did.

And sure, some of us are not so great here; I would say alcoholic money grubbing criminals.  But that doesn't change the fact that our country is meant to be comprised of those who strive for superior idealisms and individual freedoms and the pursuit of happiness.

And what is the lie with regard to we stole this from the Native Americans?  It is this, if we didn't somebody else would have and it would have been far worse for them, no matter what you believe was told to them by the enemies of freedom at that time. (Likely same enemies of freedom today.)

Every time a foreign country takes ownership of our land I would assert it lessens those superior idealisms and freedoms and pursuits of happiness.

And so we have a President who would allow foreigners to buy their way into our nation for $5 million dollars?  What are they buying?  It is like declaring the product of our education system is nil.  And they are going after that too, defunding as many as they can.  And perhaps I don't believe in the product of Ivy League Education either, nor do I believe in the product of Military Academy Education.  And yet I don't think we should be displaced by foreigners. And you wonder if grants were not somehow given by us to members of foreign nations so that they could buy their way in here?  I don't see how that makes us better.  I mean you could set up a whole finincial industry just as cheesy as a high cut cash checking place to loan money to just about any foreigner and have them pay you 25% interest on it?

*****'

Off topic.  So how much should an American be able to earn on their savings?  How much should an American pay in interest on consumer borrowings?  So If an American pays 25% interest or more on a credit card balance...lets compare that to the foreign bond interest rate on say Countries like Russia or China?  And the following numbers may be highly innaccurate.

The 10 year Russian bond rate is 14.57%

Looks like Chinas is 1.85%

The Uk is 4.6%

Saudi Arabia might be 4.3 %

Greece 3.71%

Iran 3.11%

So currencies are all interchangeable.

And therefore the Financial Industry, that actually trades against their own customers, would make an American pay 25% interest on a loan and however the nation of Iran borrows at 3.11%

Ask yourself who is being devalued by that?

Let the Oil Rule 03 13 2025

 So "let the States decide" seems to be part of the Republican Platform.

But why would they want to propagandize that?

It has to do with what saved our Nation from an Economic Insurrection at one time in our nations history, and what saved us was, the Union of States.

Let the States decide erodes the Union of States.

And then what happens?

The States that have the greatest oil reserves end up ruling all of the rest of the States.

So let the States decide really amounts to let the oil rule.

Oil a national resource?  Not when the profits go to the private sector.  So it is a national resource or not?

And I once read that three oil company executives came up from the south and in a veiled manner threated John F. Kennedy about some action he was about to take.  Kennedy was indeed assassinated in Texas.

So Republicans are taking away jobs aren't they.  Perhaps something needs to be taken away and nationalized.  In order to forestall a bad....

Voting Integrity 03 11 2025

There ought to be a .gov website where you can enter your ID and who you voted for.

It would then tally all of those answers and the public could compare that to the official/actual results.

It could help prevent a giant coup.

National Security 03 05 2025

Did anyone ever stop to ask the question, what if somebody sold a nuke to one of these countries that Donald Trump says he wants to annex?

As if there are not enough zombies in our nation already; we would have to contend with people burnt from nuclear fallout?  If not the flesh falling off our very selves from nuclear fallout?

Did you ever ask yourself why he doesn't understand why the people of another country would fight for their own freedom whether it be a country he showboats about annexing or Ukraine?

And then ask yourself why it should bother anyone that I might ask critical questions concerning the safety of the people of our nation?

Those who don't like critical thinking or minded people are not capable of critical thinking themselves?

How Come 03 05 2025

How come they never turned the live footage to the broadcast camera to Elon Musk when Trump bragged about how he defeated the electric car mandate?

Do you know, they are always real good at switching to the camera that they believe is most relevant?  You see it in sports games, where the loosing quarterback has tears welling up.'

But in this one particular instance, not on Elon Musk.

On Social Security 03 04 2025

So why would you want to increase Social Security payments to retirees?  Because you know that younger generation is 99 percent worthless!  And the only good that can come to your country is from the influence of that better elder generation that you don't want to disappear.

And to be fair, if an elderly employee acts like a drunken qu___ I don't want to deal with them either.

Inventions Needed A Frying Pan Lid that Traps Grease 03 03 2025 (off topic turbochargers)

I do believe that bacon grease that gets airborne can cause furnace filters to clog.  Whereby a furnace will trip its limit switch because it can't get air through itself fast enough and hence overheats.

But how hard would it be to make a frying pan lid that trapped grease fumes?

I mean you very well know that if you cook bacon, and I like the Beef Bacon I cooked this AM, that there will be a layer of grease under the frying pan lid.  And you throw a little baking soda and dish washing soap on it and clean it off under running water in the sink.

But what if there were a lid that did a better job?  Perhaps one whereby a portion of it, say a 1/3 you could see through.  And the other portion perhaps allowed air to travel through but not airborne bacon grease?

Aha, I was thinking of a disposable filter media.  But it could be accomplished with a precipitative screen or metal mesh gridding!  Hence defeating the "razor blade" business model whereby you always have to buy something else.

*****'

Off main topic.

I want to talk about turbo chargers?  Do they really cause heat buildup?  Do they cause motor oil to cook down to sludge and ruin engines?  Do they cause increased backflow and the same problem?  So if they are more fuel efficient doesn't it really matter in terms of energy costs if they don't last as long?  I mean good god, if you are burning a quart of oil a week because you have an old turbocharger, how are we really meeting better environment and the related end goals of fuel efficiency through implementation of them?  And so you ask yourself could the technology be improved?  Whereby you are eliminating the above issues?  Then you think of superchargers instead of turbochargers.  But a supercharger decreases gas mileage but likely near doubles horsepower.  Has that technology ever been tried to be implemented whereby the goal isn't doubling horsepower, whereby such device provides incremental power at same fuel usage thereby increasing mpg?

A Better Life Through Alcohol 03 03 2025

 Idk.  I just had to say that.  It is a propagandized belief system isn't it.  And because it is part of religion it means that it is a religious propagandized belief system.  And it is propagandized on television isn't it.

Maybe it applies to you.  Maybe you were not able to do well in school at all and you find a better life through alcohol?

I think the belief is completely deceitful.

And in terms of major religions?  There is absolutely nothing HOLY about alcohol.  It causes both cancer and mental retardation.  There is nothing HOLY about that; that is the opposite of HOLY.  They are both abominations of Gods image.

But you might be very successful in life by living your life on the run of alcohol.  Or you might end up with untenable problems.

But basically, I don't believe "what it is" is truthfully taught to the American Public.  I mean for all the education dollars spent we can't even get that right.  Just stand back and look at the waste of that.

On Immigration 03 02 2025

You know some people we just never needed here.  Like that woman who laughs in a high voice at every man's misfortunes; we never needed her here.

People like that tend to level our nation down to be like where they came from; nothing!

Yeah, I do believe something like that.  Just as wherever Midas went things turned to gold, wherever that woman who laughs at every man's misfortunes in a high voice goes, turns to less than zero.

Are we to have no standards here?

Are we to expect that immigrants that come here that are not of our standards are actually going to rise to them out of respect and admiration for us?

Make a struggle out of life for Americans out of your freakish insecurity and ineptitude?
