THINGS THAT TICK ME RIGHT OFF

Advent calendars: On February 29, I opened up my advent calendar, because despite the fact I'm in my mid-thirties, Mom still gives them to me and my sister for Christmas. I opened one of the doors, took out a chocolate and thought it had broken off. I looked in the slot and was astounded to discover I'd dislodged the whole chocolate. The things are microscopic now! I bet it was one third the size of the ones I got as a kid.

Trudeau's bill to ban conversion therapy: Of course the government and mainstream media say it's harmful and ineffective, but what about all the people who have genuinely been helped by conversion therapy.

Speaking of the Trudeau government, this story.

The fact they wouldn't tell us Shammah Jolayemi's skin colour in the Amber alert. Granted, it would be considered racist, but it would have made the boy a heck of a lot easier to find.

The fact I know virtually nothing about what's happening in the local churches and parachurch ministries of my small town. Not really functioning as a body of Christ, are we.

The fact public high schools are holding queer history forums. Hope they include Sodom and Gomorrah in there.

The fact none of the so-called organizations for the blind in Canada actually do anything to give people a hand up or the tools they actually need to become successful, productive members of society.

The fact certain people can't understand why I purchased my new desktop myself instead of relying on the Ontario government's Assistive Devices Program. I am allowed to have respect and dignity, despite your thinking to the contrary.

The Vinyl Cafe: Dave is a complete moron. I don't know how he functions. The story about the elderly neighbour Dave hadn't seen all winter and the ones where Sam buys the truffle and takes piano lessons (well, I must confess, all the Sam stories, really) are quite heartening, but the rest of the time, this family with no last name just plain sucks.

Toilet paper dribbling: With the Coronavirus pandemic and social distancing coming into play, a new social media trend has emerged which involves dribbling a roll of toilet paper as one would a soccer ball. First, people were stocking up on toilet paper, now they're wasting the stuff.

Speaking of COVID-19, I really wish the media and the government would quit blowing this thing way out of proportion. By all means, take sensible precautions, but don't freak out and get everyone else freaked out. Among the things I wish the media and our politicians would quit saying:

- social distancing: It's physical distancing. In this time of self-isolation, especially don't distance yourself socially from people.

- "Staying Inside.": Physical distancing doesn't mean you can't go out on your front porch or stoop, and it doesn't mean you can't go out in your yard. As long as you aren't out in public, you can't spread it to others, except of course for the people in your household, and if you are infected, common sense would suggest they are, too.

- "Young people, if you go out, you'll kill Grandma.": Statistically speaking, it's more likely you'll pick up a flu bug, come home and kill Grandma that way. The possibility also exists you could bring a bee into the house and your allergic grandmother could die from being stung. It is also within the bounds of probability you could step out your front door tomorrow and get hit by a truck. You can't live your life based on the poison thinking the WHO is peddling right now.

What also ticks me off is the fact I can't get a haircut during this pandemic. Why didn't Doug Ford deem hairdressers essential services. Restrict them to basic cuts for both sexes, or however many genders there are this week, but don't expect us to go through this looking like ragamuffins, Mr. Premier.

The fact that, due to COVID-19, lots of stores aren't accepting cash. I am not debiting something that costs $6.20. Just avoid touching your face and wash with hand sanitizer every twenty minutes.

Besides, for one thing, you're making fewer transactions anyway because everybody's self-isolating.

For another thing, it's not like a huge number of people are under financial strain right now. Some laid-off worker with no savings scrapes up their change to buy something they need, then you force them to put more money on their credit card or deplete their already depleted bank account by debiting the purchase for which a fair number of people will be charged a service charge.

The fact Doug Ford and John Tory got upset at all those people in the park last weekend (May 23-24.) What do you expect, Messrs Premier and Mayor? It's easy for you to sit in the yards of your mansions and criticize, but when you live in an apartment in downtown Toronto the size of the average suburban living room, you've got a spouse and two kids, and you've been inside for the past ten weeks, you just plain want to get out.

The fact so many people are falling for this coronavirus garbage in the first place. Stupid Sheeple just watch CNN all the time and believe this is worse than the Spanish flu. Of course Ted Turner, a man who said the terrorists supposedly pulled off 9/11 were brave and that the Earth's population needs to be greatly reduced is going to ensure there's an unbiased presentation of the news.

Also, quit telling me I need to wear a mask to protect others. That's right up there with restaurants need to stop selling large pops because they make people fat. No, the people who drink the large pops all the time instead of once in a while as a treat make themselves fat. The only time it's my responsibility to protect others from getting sick is when I'm sick. If you are sick, please stay home. Otherwise, it's your responsibility to protect your ownself from getting sick.

AMERICA AND THE WORLD BEING DECEIVED

BEWARE THE NOAHIDE LAWS!

There's a threat in the world today that will fundamentally change the way everyone lives and, indeed, will effect if many of us get to live. Have this threat explained and how it ties into Donald Trump, the pope, the Jesuits, free masonry, and, most importantly, the new world order in general by watching this video.
