Our government garden gnome always seems to have a little extra cash in her purse be it $3,000 to treat her family to dinner, or, $172 million to drop on two new pimped out fly rides.
1. In this Bible story, Jesus is illustrating the need for spiritual vigilance. He tells a story of servants awaiting their master at night, keeping their lamps lit so they can greet him when he arrives home. Woe to he who is unprepared! Jesus's concluding quote, "For at an hour you do not expect, the Son of Man will return!" is taken as a warning for believers to remain vigilant and prepare for the Second Coming, when Jesus (the Son of Man) returns at the End of Days.
2. In this cartoon, two crooks in colorful ski masks read the Bible to inspire their next scheme (as one does). When they stumble upon Jesus's quote, they think "for at an hour you do not expect" means that Jesus can ONLY show up at an hour when NO ONE expects Him. The crooks think this means that if even ONE person in the whole world expects Jesus, He can't return. Thus, by remaining vigilant, the crooks assume they can hold off Jesus's Second Coming, effectively holding Him hostage. Then they can demand a hefty ransom from the Vatican to release their precious Messiah.
3. In the last panel, the red-masked crook shouts, "Call up the Vatican! I'd like to make a WITHDRAWAL!" This is a play on how one might call up a bank to withdraw money. You know. Over the telephone. That's a thing, right? The Vatican is not a bank, though. Hence, this statement is illogical. Yet, however, the crooks intend to use the Vatican as a means of acquiring money through ransom. Hence, they'll be attempting to extract money from the Vatican, as one might extract money from a bank, except illegally, more like robbing a bank, or maybe more like holding some kind of bank-Messiah hostage and demanding the bank-Vatican pay a bank-ransom. Thuswise and hitherwhence, we conceit to have begotten a likeworth manner of what is that which is being done in kind. Amen. Good night everyone.
In 1933 FDR made owning gold in the US a Federal Crime. Everyone had to turn in their gold for Federal Reserve Bank Notes. That gold was supposed to be stored in the US Treasury Reserve at Fort Knox.
Well, here's 👆 an idea...
The US Government claims it has almost 5000 tons of Gold, but Fort Knox US Gold Reserve has not been audited since 1974, it has been nearly 50 years ago.
"No one has seen any of it!!!"
Maybe it’s time for Elon and DOGE to "conduct a full audit" of every single ounce of Gold with video(trustworthy source) and witnesses to prove it to the people! 🤔
I AM tired of Government... I AM on my last nerve with ALL government, and what are THEY doing¿?¿ The ass-clowns are committed to dry humping it. 😂
David Gentile, who scammed thousands of “hardworking, everyday people,” had served less than two weeks of a seven-year sentence.
Trump pardons a fellow filthy rich crook.
President Donald Trump sprung a fellow convicted fraudster from prison this week after the man had served less than two weeks of a seven-year sentence for a $1.6 billion Ponzi scheme.
David Gentile first reported to prison on Nov. 14 following his sentencing in May for using funds controlled by his company GPB Capital to scam around 10,000 investors over a period of several years, the New York Times reports.
He was freed Wednesday, after just 12 days behind bars.
In securing Gentile’s conviction last August, prosecutors had cited victim statements from more than 1,000 “hardworking, everyday people”—among them veterans, farmers, teachers and nurses—who’d lost money as a result of his crimes.
“I lost my whole life savings,” one person claimed, adding they’d now found themselves “living from check to check.”
In the meantime, Trump and MAGA Republicans have caused healthcare premiums to skyrocket.
This is: Government of the billionaires, by the billionaires, and for the billionaires.
