Bart and Norma discuss some general chatter, but there's some focus on idiots. I suppose many of our topics are about idiots, so we'll narrow this one down to having a "political" party that sooner believes in magic weather machines murdering Christian conservatives instead of climate change being ignored.

Show Notes:
- It's raining, but there's still all sorts of (illegal) fireworks going off
- ScarJo had a fear to face in Jurassic World
- NextDoor
- Guess he didn't throw his kid overboard on a Disney cruise...
- Star Wars actor dies of Covid + pneumonia
- Marjorie Taylor Greene uses deaths in Texas from NOAA shutdown and DOGE cuts to instead outlaw imaginary chemtrails
- Kennedy wants you to wear health trackers to make you healthier. Bonus: government tracks what you're doing, and lobbyists profit off the collected data, and insurance companies can use it against you. Yay!
- "You must quickly pass state budget before I pass the federal Big Beautiful Bill that will defund hospitals and make people vote me out of office!" I paraphrase, but...well...
- Mean girl Elon threatens mean girl Trump with 3rd political party, tanks stock in the process (again)
- Children in US keep dying more than children in comparable countries
- Medicaid, insurance, new glasses, it's all a giant suck of energy and time where people dealing with it have given up and the companies behind it are profiting
If that was a Christian camp, why didn't God save the children? I have heard so much "Pray about it!" lately and that did not help. Our church wanted a full-time pastor. We were told to pray about it and we didn't get a full time pastor. I know they explain it as God gives us not what we want, but what he/she knows we need. I think it's our church leaders that decided they couldn't give us what we wanted, not God.

ReplyDeleteWhat do you think about the whole Epstein problem? I think Trump's name will come out as a client. Otherwise, why is he trying to keep it under wraps?
