Al Fresco Free

Retired high school government teacher, high school, college, and public librarian, a world traveler, and a regular Fox News viewer. BA, MST, partial MEd, and MLS. Past resident of Oregon, Guam, Australia, Minnesota, and now Arizona. 6 yrs Naval Reserve. Voted mostly DEM since JFK, then GOP after Bill Clinton. A former member of the ACLU, the AFT and NEA unions. A matured liberal, ie. conservative and a Catholic. The world has changed, but my basic beliefs have not. I love satire, sarcasm, politics, talk radio, snarky humor, and reading historical fiction and the newspaper. I complete the NYT crossword puzzle daily. My essential TV news shows are “The Five” then “Gutfeld!” aired on FoxNews. I’m a White heterosexual fan of the cartoon “The Fusco Brothers” and my avatar is AL FUSCO, therefore Al Fresco. All Woke followers may address me by my preferred pronoun “YOU.” Mister or Sir is also acceptable.

    If fascist King Biden I drops out, which is getting more likely, then you can vote for Kamalalalala with a clear conscience. Unless you favor conspiracy theorist RFK, Jr.

    Palestinians are not being deliberately slaughtered. But certainly since WW2, civilians do die in war. Today’s action clearing tunnels in Rafa is an example of the IDF’s surgical strikes to reduce civilian casualties. I believe, when this is over, it will be discovered the Palestinian claim of war dead was greatly exaggerated.

    The jury must unanimously find Trump guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. I am truly sorry about your brother. Perhaps you will find peace some day. I would blame China (and those in the US who worked with them, to create this disease) rather than speculate if Trump hadn’t done this or that it would have been effective in halting the spread. Also remember it was China who started the wet market lie to cover their tracks and for a while refused to release the formula so a vaccine could be developed. My wife became very ill at the very start of the pandemic while in Norway. She survived. If she had not I might have felt differently and looked for someone to blame.

    Correct: That’s Copacabana Beach in Rio. Been there. But has Roger Stone? 20,000, 40,000, 80,000, and 100,000 have all been reported at the Trump rally in NJ. The point: Could Joe Biden draw even 2,000?

    Catechism of the Catholic Church #1035. The teaching of the Church affirms the existence of hell and its eternity. Immediately after death the souls of those who die in a state of mortal sin descend into hell, where they suffer the punishments of hell, “eternal fire.” The chief punishment of hell is eternal separation from God, in whom alone man can possess the life and happiness for which he was created and for which he longs.

    I fell into a burning ring of fire

    I went down, down, down

    And the flames went higher

    And it burns, burns, burns

    The ring of fire, the ring of fire.

    The word most often used in the Bible for Hell is Gehenna in both the old and the New Testament. Hell is the most often chosen English translation from the Hebrew or the Greek.

    “Inhalation?” Are they going to be sucked up by a big vacuum? Love that spell checker.

    The prostitution (sic) has rested its case. What is the crime. What felony was committed. So far, has any crime been proven beyond a reasonable doubt? The state’s closing argument will be a doozy.
