Have you been conned? Have you been tricked into transferring money to someone because they scared you and urged you to act quickly because you were told your financial future and even your lifestyle were under threat?

The mark of a really good con is that those who were tricked don’t even know they were tricked. A good con man is able to read his victims fears, needs, and wants and can then tell them that he can save them. If only they would send him some money and support him. He can fix it all.

If you’ve sent money to a billionaire and his billionaire buddies because he says he needs the money maybe you have been conned. Even though he is a multi billionaire, he wants your money. He says you don’t really need it. It might do you good to tighten your belt some.
May 19, 2025 at 1:22 PM
But he needs it billionaires have lots of expenses. Is your financial future even more secure now after you sent him your money? That’s OK he says “I promise I will fix it. I just need a little more money and this time. I’ll fix it on day one. You have not been conned. Don’t listen to those others.

They are all liars every single one of them. Even your friends and neighbors. Believe me. I promise this time I’ll fix it. You have not been conned.”

This is a perfect way to prepare for whatever the State of the Union brings on Tuesday night — an event with Timothy Snyder about the threats of authoritarianism and what we can do to resist it! If you've read his book, you know this will be good. I signed up, join me! social.redwine.blue/s/lFTUrsf6

America voted at the United Nations earlier this week against Ukraine, siding with Russia, Iran and North Korea against almost all of its fellow democracies. Is this who Americans want to be? For this is what America is being turned into.

A grassroots movement is calling on all Americans to abstain from shopping with major retailers tomorrow, February 28, as part of an “economic blackout.”

"What [Trump] is doing is not about making a tough peace deal with Russia, recalibrating NATO, or protecting Ukraine’s democracy. He is merely setting the terms of a new alliance and relationship with the criminal Russian dictatorship — directed against the European democracies." bit.ly/41hinVV

do you enjoy knowing that when you deposit money in a US bank, you won't lose that money? nice, right?

it's because bank deposits are insured by FDIC.

i don't know what FDIC ever did to these people, but apparently it too is now on their blow-it-up list:

Hey how come Trump has not fixed inflation or the price of eggs or ended the war in Ukraine? He said he would do that even before he took the oath of office. What gives? Mexico still has not paid one cent for the wall either!

Their faith lets them worship power while they’re offended by mercy. It’s not Christianity they’re practicing.
