Yeah and I am bored with this debate...I actually have a topic thread I want to discuss. Going to get it done tonight.
In respect to @Heart2Soul , I'll say this short piece and be done with it.
I didn't say contrails, I said chemtrails, and these are very different things, not sharing the same causes.
I've no interest in trying to make someone see what is clearly seen by those who are looking.
My statements are purely anecdotal, and meant to be taken that way.
Personal observation tells me the earth is round, and personal observation tells me that chemtrails are intentional.
OK I'm done.
Much love!
So you think you can provoke me? I admit you used to...now you make me laugh and laughter is good medicine...thanks for that.
I have been castigated for saying that God created the Corona virus, because they are convinced that something this evil could only have created by the Devil. Does the Devil have the power to create anything?
"In the beginning was the Word . . . All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being" John 1
With far too much time on my hands these days, I have had a lot of time to consider the way God does things. I believe God created the Corona virus to bring mankind's attention to Him, in preparation for things to come. While He could have sent an army of 10s if thousands, He sent something so tiny and invisible, that it cannot even be seen without high-end scientific instruments. This tiny entity has brought the nations of the entire world to their knees.
Then I thought about how God had done that before. It all started with Adam. All the information for an entire human race of 7 billion people was contained in a tiny wiggly piece of sperm, too tiny to be seen without modern scientific instruments. I am amazed by the unique way God has of accomplishing His purpose.
So far, no one has been able to show that there's any difference. "Chemtrails" is basically an urban legend with no evidence to support it.
So is the Easter Bunny, and the Tooth Fairy.
Tell us about that. What observation?
He does not. He can only twist and corrupt that which God has created.
Yes...God is an awesome God and He loves us so much that He will even allow disasters to happen to get our attention and test our faith.
Well, meanwhile, the believer needs to keep 'looking unto Jesus' (Hebrews 12.2) and serving Him steadfastly (1 Corinthians 15.58).
It's a conspiracy buff thing. Some people (with no evidence whatever) started rumors that contrails are really "chemtrails", arguing that "they" are putting chemicals into the atmosphere to:
... make love socialism.
...make us all gay.
...make us...(insert dystopian fantasy here).

LOL- no I hadn't seen that. Amusingly clever.
We were still watching tv back in those days, and remember any day, any hour of the day, the
I, I, I, / me, me, me guy was notifying the public he was Black (like that was necessary!) and had this "Change" "Change" "Change" platform, kind of like Pelosi's mindset, VOTE....and then find out what you just Agreed to. UGH! The puke should have been Expelled for that line alone.
Anyway as a way to get that caustic character out of my house...twice I asked my spouse for permission to unload on the tv...but what about our DVD collection? Eh I relented, and ONLY turn on the tv for dvd's.
Glory to God,

I haven't turned off the tv but I refuse to watch any political news media anymore. It really caused me alot of anger and anxiety over what was being talked about daily.
It's been 4 years of nothing but Trump bashing and how can anyone do nothing but talk about Trump every single day they are on the air.
Maybe it's a plot to keep everyone focused on Trump while the corrupt politicians are busy scheming another drama filled saga of lies.
What's really pathetic is when a Democrat admits their strategy during an interview...pure evil.
Pelosi's MSM 'Wrap-Up Smear' Collusion Against Trump
Pelosi's MSM 'Wrap-Up Smear' Collusion Against Trump
It's all about leftists' unquenchable thirst for statist power, and for them, Americans outside the Beltway are just collateral damage in their quest.........
Excerpt.
In a March 2017 interview with CNN’s Jake Tapper, Pelosi outlined the “wrap up smear” tactic that has become the Demos’ political black bag go-to strategy to undermine the Trump administration. She did so framing the smear tactic as something Republicans used against Barack Obama. According to Pelosi: “It’s called a wrap-up smear. You make up something. Then you have the press write about it. And then you say, ‘Everybody is writing about this charge.’ It’s a tool of an [authoritarian regime] to just have you always be talking about what you want them to be talking about.”
The problem with Pelosi’s explanation is that even those with the most rudimentary brainstem activity know that Republicans can’t “have the press write about” whatever they dictate, and then use that as bona fide to make their point. That tactic belongs exclusively to the Democrats, whom the media have long favored.
In June, during a House Minority Leader Weekly Briefing recorded by C-SPAN, Pelosi went into more detail about the “wrap-up smear” strategy:
“It’s a diversionary tactic. It’s a self-fulfilling prophecy. You demonize, and then you — we call it the wrap-up smear. You want to talk about politics? It’s called the wrap-up smear. You smear somebody with falsehoods and all the rest, and then you merchandise it, and then you write it, and they’ll say, ‘See, it’s reported in the press that this, this, and this,’ so they have that validation that the press reported the smear, and then it’s called a wrap-up smear. ‘Now I’m going to merchandise the press’s report on the smear that we made.’ It’s a tactic.”
Again, she ludicrously claimed that Republicans actually control the Demo/MSM media machine, but the phrase she used to describe tactical political deflection originates with her.
Pelosi’s corrupt collusion tactics with the mainstream media amount to a gross betrayal of the First Amendment. The resulting perversion of the power of the press completely erodes the historic role it was intended to fill, providing a balanced and truthful check against political corruption. But most of the media has now hitched its wagon to that corruption.
Pelosi’s “wrap-up smear” was precisely the prescription that former FBI Director James Comey followed when orchestrating his fake-news press leaks to Leftmedia outlets in order to ensure that, by his own admission, a special prosecutor was appointed to investigate Russian collusion within the Trump campaign.
Comey’s sole objective was to set Trump up for a takedown.
As we now know, the fake Russian dossier Comey used to initiate the investigation against Trump was funded by the Clinton campaign and her Democrat Party cohorts about the same time that they were conspiring to rig the Democrat primary against upstart Clinton opponent Bernie Sanders.
And the Demos’ Leftmedia talkingheads and news pulpers have devoted endless amounts of their collective airtime since Trump’s election to the collusion conspiracy and the resulting Trump investigation by Comey’s old friend, now-Special Prosecutor Robert Mueller.
More from that article:
More recently, the Left used the same “wrap-up smear” strategy in a vile attempt to turn public opinion against the nomination of now-Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh. California Demo Sen. Dianne Feinstein scripted the smear, providing her Leftmedia outlets with a salacious story with which to begin shaping public opinion. And those suffering from the most chronic cases of Trump Derangement Syndrome and toxic femininity — the female voters who represent the Democrats’ largest voter bloc — bought it hook, line, and sinker.
Feinstein’s smear almost worked, but Justice Kavanaugh withstood the storm and called the smear exactly was it was.
Donald Trump, however, may not fare so well against the perpetual smears being leveled at him.
Now that Pelosi, the embodiment of the congressional “Trump Resistance Collective, is speaker of the House, she will, as I predicted, undertake impeachment proceedings against Trump.
The resulting discord will likely result in the recession that Democrats are secretly hoping for ahead of the 2020 elections. If their plan works, job and income prospects for tens of millions of American workers will fall victim to a politically induced recession.
As Pelosi took the gavel, Trump warned, "As I have stated many times, if the Democrats take over … there will be disruption to the Financial Markets. We won the Senate, they won the House. Things will settle down. They only want to impeach me because they know they can’t win in 2020, too much success!”
Bottom line: It’s all about leftists’ unquenchable thirst for statist power. And for them, Americans outside the Beltway are just collateral damage in their quest.
As symbols of the fakest fake news of 2018, several of our conservative media friends have provided us with their top picks.
The Washington Examiner compiled a list of the worst journalism moments. The Media Research Center collected the most ridiculous cases of Trump Derangement Syndrome. Shockingly, The Washington Post ate one of its own, exposing CNN’s Journalist of the Year for the anti-Trump hack he was. National Review offered a good perspective on why people believe fake news. Townhall has a list of the most awesome fake news. And The Daily Caller offers its estimate of the most egregious fake news of 2018.

It's exactly what any reasonable person would think. It's a fake; edited to make it look like Pelosi wasn't talking about what republicans were doing:
Q: Did Nancy Pelosi describe how the Democrats use a tactic called the “wrap-up smear” to attack political opponents?
A: No. Pelosi was describing a tactic that she anticipated Republicans would use against her in 2018. Her remarks were taken out of context in a viral video.
FULL ANSWER
A clip of House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi explaining a political tactic called a “wrap-up smear” has been widely circulated recently. The problem is, it has been taken out of context.
The nearly 40-second clip was taken from the end of a press briefing Pelosi gave in June 2017, although it was taken from a section that lasts about eight minutes. Pelosi had responded to a question about what strategies she planned to use to counter negative ads aimed at her during the 2018 election cycle. In her answer to a follow-up question, she explained one of the tactics she expected to encounter from Republicans — the “wrap-up smear.”
Taking Pelosi Out of Context
It might have seemed like a brilliant deception when they did it, but who would be stupid enough to think that kind of dishonesty would work?
Bingo.
2 weeks before TV went digital, I was thinking, we should just let it go away, it just wastes my time! Alas, my wife was a TV nut too! But I said that to her, and she said, "I never thought you'd go for that!". So we have our dvd's, and what she gets from the library.
OH . . . an no more secular or commercial radio either!
Much love!
