I was at work and someone bought a few games and as I was closing the cash drawer they go "Here, here's a million dollars." They handed me a clearly fake million dollar bill and I immediately knew what it was, but I thanked them and they went on their way. Yep, it was one of those "HERE'S THE MILLION DOLLAR QUESTION: are you going to Heaven or Hell when you die?" At least they didn't leave it in place of a tip at a restaurant. I tossed it and didn't think much about it until about ten minutes later a customer came up and went "Hey I saw this laying on the shelf over there" and it was another one. I won't lie that one kind of annoyed me.

Anyway out of curiosity, there was a website listed on it, and so I decided to check it out. Turns out it's for a film company called Living Waters and the founder is Ray Comfort. You know, the "Bananas: the atheist's nightmare" guy. Full of such "incredible" movies as The Atheist Delusion (Why Millions Deny the Obvious), The Fool (The True "Banana Man" Story), Crazy Bible, Dogs Can Talk, A Woman's Right to Choose... 7 Reasons, Ten of the Top Scientific Facts in the Bible, and School Shootings (The Cause and the Cure in Less Than 20 Minutes...For those Who Want to Know).

Nothing new, except it comes from a writer on a liberal, progressive New England newspaper......WHEN AN EDITORIAL LIKE THIS COMES OUT OF BOSTON, YOU KNOW THERE IS A BIG PROBLEM!
Excellent Boston Herald Editorial Opinion by Peter Lucas
Joe Biden could have been a good president. All he had to do was leave things alone. Instead, he blundered into the office and wrecked the country.
He is like the guy on a Boeing 747 high over the Atlantic Ocean who breaks into the cockpit and says, "I can fly this thing" "You don't have to, Joe," the pilot says, "It's on autopilot. It flies itself. You know, computers." Undeterred, Joe presses buttons and flips switches. The plane goes into a nosedive.
Which is where we are today You don't put a guy like this in control.
He is President Doom. Everything he touches goes bad. And nothing is his fault. He took an energy-independent country and turned it into a nation begging Saudi Arabia and Venezuela for oil.
Gasoline prices hit the roof and inflation soared. But it is not his fault. He forgot how he preened on Day One of his presidency, launching his war on domestic produced energy in favor of his Green Dream of a fossil fuel free world.
Biden, John Kerry, his climate change czar, and the progressives would have you believe that the world will come to an end unless their anti-fossil fuel agenda adopted.
Yes, the world may come to an end. But the chances are the end will come sooner from the unleashing of nuclear weapons then it will come from the use of fossil fuels. But you do not hear politicians like Biden or Kerry talk much about doing away with nuclear weapons.
On the contrary. Biden is reopening nuclear negotiations with Iran which will eventually lead to the Iranians having a nuclear bomb. This is the country where its religious fanatics have promised to use its first nuclear weapon on Israel and the second on the United States.
If I were to bet, I would wager on the world ending in a nuclear bang before closing out in a fossil fuel whimper. Meanwhile, the rest of the world keeps pumping away, and the American people suffer. But it is not Biden's fault. It is Vladimir Putin and his war in Ukraine who is to blame, not Joe Biden.
Joe Biden took a working and strict border policy left to him by Donald Trump and turned it into a humanitarian disaster. Hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants from countries around the world are pouring into the United States and nobody is stopping them.
And many of them are dying along the way. Bidens's decision to do away with border enforcement has also greatly facilitated the smuggling tons of drugs into the county, including deadly fentanyl from China that is killing many unsuspecting Americans.
But that is not his fault either. He says that it was Trump's racist border policy that caused all the problems. Besides, he assigned Kamala Harris to get to the root of the problem.
Biden also authored the ill-conceived and humiliating pullout from Afghanistan, causing the unnecessary death of 13 Americans at the chaotic Kabul airport, leaving hundreds of Americans, abandoning thousands of Afghan allies, and throwing the country into the chaotic hands of the Taliban.
Naturally, he blamed Trump, which nobody bought. The next thing you know Joe Biden will be blaming Putin for the Supreme Court's decision to send the abortion issue back to the states. Putin somehow must have gotten Trump to appoint three conservatives to the court in order to roil the country.
According to Biden, the "one thing" that has destabilized the country under his leadership has not been soaring gasoline prices, inflation, the open border, the shameful retreat in Afghanistan, the war in Ukraine, the frightening rising crime rate or the pandemic, but "the outrageous behavior" of the Supreme Court on the abortion issue.
The court did not destabilize the country. Joe Biden did. This man does not belong in the cockpit.

The article asserts that younger buyers are choosing vehicles with manual transmissions for the same reason they are choosing things like vinyl records and point-and-shoot cameras. More than half of the buyers who opted for a manual Integra are between 18 and 46 years old, and around a quarter of the buyers who bought a manual Miata in 2022 are between 18 and 35.
