Definitely not the home of a Patriotic Christian Family though I cannot speak for Patrotic Chriistian Family. I would love some kid to come up to that house and explain that he found Jesus who was being all socialist by feeding the hungry. Darn that socialist Jesus and his handouts. I bet he even gave free health care.

Hey there, Z!

I love the old Halloween cards from the turn of the century. Some of them are very spooky. These modern Jesus freaks have no sense of our history.

Humph. In the movies, Deripaska's guards and the FBI agents would have been in a massive firefight, with helicopters and rockets and all kinds of special effects.

I am disappoint. :(

He sounds delightful.
Some of Koetting's written works openly discuss and encourage murder.

One of his texts, which he recently promoted on YouTube, advises people to study terrorist methods, quotes the moors murderer Ian Brady, and states: "Always remember the first rule of murder: never kill a person that you have a reason to kill."

“Rare New England shilling found in Bywell Hall sweet tin”:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-tyne-58982457

“A rare example of one of the USA's first coins has been found hidden in a collection kept inside a sweet tin.
The mid-17th Century New England shilling was found by Wentworth Beaumont at his family's home of Bywell Hall in Northumberland.
The coin was struck in 1652 for use as currency by early settlers in the Massachusetts Bay Colony.”

What Is Behind a HUGE Landfill in California | Secrets of Mega Landfill | ENDEVR Documentary

ENDEVR
10 Oct 2021

The world is running out of space when it comes to a home for our trash, and nowhere is this more true than the US, where thousands of their landfill sites are reaching capacity. In the US alone, a colossal 268 million tons of garbage is thrown out every year, which makes up 12% of the planet’s waste. And it’s growing. So where does it all go?

In the hills of Orange County California is the 9th largest landfill site in the U.S – the Frank R Bowerman Landfill. It’s part of an elite gang of the biggest sites in the country dubbed ‘The Million Ton Club’, due to the epic amount of waste it receives every year.

As many as 750 trucks queue up to deliver thousands of tonnes every day. And it’s not as simple as just dumping it all in the ground. In this documentary, we join the army of people at the site using cutting edge technology from drones to dozens of Mega tonne machines to make it all disappear.

And the stakes are high – for the business as well as the environment, as this site can rake in $70,000,000 million dollars a year. Secrets of Mega Landfill will take viewers behind the scenes to see how one colossal site is tackling the war on waste on an unimaginable scale.

Today I really did hear ol' Wifehorn, on the phone, say, "I know exactly what you mean; that threw a real monkey in the wrench."

Oh, my ears. :notlistening: Release the monkey!

I asked her about it. It's her SOCD - stream of consciousness disease. This is the lady who said, "That sounds like a recipe waiting to happen," thereby inventing a new figure of speech, the mixed cliché.

This is the lady who said, at her father's "life celebration" service after he died, describing their relationship and how close she and her dad were, "It was like I was the son he never had."

The son he did have - her brother - was sitting across the room at the time. He was unaware that his father didn't have a son, but there was an enormous amount of truth buried in those words, which I will spare you on the grounds it would take too long to tell you why he was the world's worst son.

But now I have to add "monkey in the wrench".

It may be an actual dollar sign. You know, the prosperity thing. God rewards the good folk with it, proving that the poor are bad people.

I cannot express how thoroughly I loathe this idea. It just seems so— what is the word— oh, right: anti-Christian.
The bitterest truth is more wholesome than the sweetest lie.
