A prominent conspiracy theorist has recently been chasing me to do a public debate on various topics, and somehow tracked down my home address. This is my explanation to him for why I refuse to debate him, even though I love doing public debates in general.
——
Hi XXXX, I got your stuff in the mail yesterday. Not sure how you got my home address.
I’d like to reiterate that I am not interested in debating you on any of your pet topics. I admit that these topics are interesting to me, but I do not believe it would be fruitful to debate things like your claims of Hillary Clinton having murdered dozens of people personally, nor your 9/11 conspiracy theories, etc.

If anyone can help falsify the Boeing Remote Control Take Over hypothesis, and explain Ace Elevator Company, it is you. A lot has changed since you ran JREF. "No planers" are discredited. Truthers are skeptics of the Official Conspiracy Theory for good reason. We now have peer reviewed articles in established, independent, scholarly journals.

Only four of Trump’s 44 former Cabinet officials will endorse him. The rest are refusing to, many saying they consider him an existential threat to American democracy. And today, his own Vice President, Mike Pence, announced that is also refusing to endorse Trump. Wake up, sheeple!

If Republican Vice President Dick Cheney is saying this, that’s really something:
“In our nation’s 246-year history, there has never been an individual who is a greater threat to our republic than Donald Trump." — Former VP Dick Cheney

D.J. Grothe Dick Cheney and his daughter Liz are not supported by most Republicans. He is a RINO. Liz lost re-election by an embarrassing margin because she does not stand for Republican values: peace, prosperity, honesty.

D.J. Grothe
Fred Shaddock Yep, she was punished by the cult of MAGA despite being very conservative. But that’s changing the subject again.

Fred Shaddock
D.J. Grothe Cheney is "all hat, no cattle" and works for the Deep State, permanent US Government employees enjoying mansions around DC, and generous benefits, which he considers to be the Republic. But the Republic consists of US citizen tax payers, the real bosses.

D.J. Grothe I was a US Government contractor for many years, and know many permanent USG employees enjoying mansions around DC who are afraid they will lose their cushy jobs with generous benefits, wasting millions of tax payer dollars, doing projects at a ridiculously slow pace, once Trump becomes President. I could have stayed with the Deep State.

D.J. Grothe
 

Fred Shaddock what you were describing now is not the deep state. It’s far more mundane: people who have homes and jobs who want to keep their homes and jobs. That’s very dim of you.
The deep state conspiracy theory says that there is a cabal of people deep in the government with a secret nefarious agenda, deceiving the American public and media about it, and even many elected officials about it, and that they are conspiring privately behind the scenes to carry it out. Most versions of the deep state conspiracy theory have to do with the deep state conspiring to oppose Trump’s supposed utopian vision, and the like. 
The deep state conspiracy theory does not include the trivial fact that there are longtime government employees who don’t wanna lose their jobs or homes.

 

D.J. Grothe What do you think about the 51 "intelligence officers" claiming that Hunter Biden's laptop was "Russian disinformation"? It included emails about "10% for the big guy" (Biden and his aliases).
Should they lose their (job) security clearances? TS clearance helps to get jobs, especially in DC. It's like a club.

My favorite criticism from his cabinet is that of Rex Tillerson who is alleged to have said “the president is a moron.”

David Michael Rich Let us know when you graduate at the top of your class at NY Military Academy, then Ivy League Penn, then increase the family real estate business in one of the world's most competitive markets (NYC) over 1000 times from millions to billions.

D.J. Grothe
Fred Shaddock Rexx Tillerson was CEO of Exxon mobile. That’s a highly paid position. Don’t be dim, Fred. 

David Michael Rich

Fred Shaddock Firstly, his attendance at military school was remedial for bad behavior, not an achievement. Secondly, it appears his “achievement” at Wharton was to graduate at the bottom of his class. Thirdly, even if one were to strip away all the exaggeration and lies about his real estate career, and even the fact of his successful first run for the presidency, and acknowledge what would legitimately remain as his accomplishments, Trump would never be anyone to respect or celebrate by my yardstick for he is an utter and colossal failure at the single most valuable and noble quest in life, and that is to be a person of good character. To be blinded by bullshit or money is to live a truly and tragically impoverished life. Enjoy it.

ed Shaddock

David Michael Rich Excelling and being elected Captain of the Baseball Team, from tough Military School young men, was not remedial. Some students just did the minimum. Trump wins more because he keeps trying more. He will be our next President. Trump University helped me get over $1 million in real estate. What course could Biden teach- How to accept bribes? Trump can make you rich. Well your name is already Rich. So Richer.

Trump promised he’d bring manufacturing back to the U.S., but never did. But Biden did.


Fred Shaddock

Money printing from nothing by the Federal Reserve makes prices go up without a corresponding increase in value - on everything from apples to APPL stock.

George Brundage

Supply chain disruptions during COVID, btw, is why (and has nothing to do with Biden):
"American manufacturers are increasingly bringing production back to the US to reduce their reliance on global supply chains that proved vulnerable to disruption such as the pandemic.
An overwhelming majority of American companies with production operations in China have already moved some back to the US or plan to do so in the next three years, according to Kearney's 2021 Reshoring Index.
Almost four in five corporations companies have already shifted production to the US and at least 15% are considering it due to high tariffs and ongoing supply chain challenges, Kearney's report shows."

D.J. Grothe
 

George Brundage it has everything to do with Biden. It’s about billions of dollars in investments in on-shoring manufacturing resulting from things like Biden’s combo of various legislative, policy, and executive actions. Things like the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, which indirectly supports manufacturing through improved logistics, transportation, and utility systems; the Inflation Reduction Act, which has billions of dollars of investments in clean energy and manufacturing, boosting domestic production of key components in the clean energy transition, such as batteries and solar panels; the CHIPS act, focusing on revitalizing the American semiconductor industry by providing billions in matching funds for chip manufacturing based in the U.S., etc; and through various executive orders aimed at strengthening American manufacturing, including increasing federal purchasing of American-made goods and nudging supply chains for critical goods to reduce dependency on countries like China. He’s also enacted higher labor and environmental standards in American manufacturing, which actually create more sustainable high-quality jobs. Etc

Between 1880 and 1924, some 25 million immigrants arrived in America, mostly from Italy and the Russian Empire. It created a serious anti-immigrant backlash, but without them, America could never have become an industrial superpower — these immigrants provided a seemingly infinite supply of cheap and ambitious labor for America’s factories, and literally built our infrastructure and cities. Since 1965, some 35 million more immigrants have arrived, and their labor has continued to build this country.
In very recent years, contrary to the scare-mongering headlines, refugee immigration is minuscule statistically speaking, legal immigration is less than a million per year, and illegal immigration is statistically *nonexistent* (immigrants seeking asylum are not illegal immigrants). 
Despite the Know Nothing lunatic rhetoric of Donald Trump and the Republican Party, there are fewer illegal immigrants here now than there were at the end of the Great Recession in 2009.
And because of recent labor shortages due to unsound anti-immigration policies, some crops have gone unharvested, and prices for consumers have gone up (labor shortages are a cause of inflation).
The 2 million new immigrants over the last five years is a very good thing for us: without them and their contributions to the American economy, we would all be much worse off. They are one of the reasons the U.S. has had the strongest recovery out of the COVID pandemic of any of the G7 nations.
Consider that the home healthcare field is almost entirely immigrant staffed. As are many other industries and sectors of our economy. And many small towns are being kept alive solely because of immigrants moving into them and providing most of the economic activity. (Small town America has a severely shrinking population; their cultural and economic energy comes from immigrants who do most of the labor, agricultural and otherwise, and without them they would become ghost towns.)
Immigration is a moral and economic good.

 

Fred Shaddock
The 1880-1924 came legally, from high IQ countries, and received little or no Welfare. Biden's army of millions of military aged men are from low IQ countries, could not get a job in their home countries, and most live on welfare at tax payer expense.

Every 5 days in its unprovoked war with Ukraine, Russia loses as many soldiers as the United States lost over the entire Afghanistan war, which lasted 20 years, America’s longest war in its history. Putin treats his soldiers as utterly disposable and worthless, just like Stalin did.
Unprovoked? NATO broke promises and moved closer and closer to Russia. We didn't like Russia putting missiles in Cuba. Orwell wrote in 1984 that wars are not meant to be won. The Military Industrial Complex is profiting well in the DC area.

Abraham Lincoln aged a lot during the seven years from 1858 and 1865, as shown in these two photographs from each year, respectively. This seven year span included the years of the American Civil War, which his wife Mary Todd said had made him look “so brokenhearted, so completely worn out.” He’s 56 years old in the second photo. Lincoln once said, “Sometimes I think I am the tiredest man on earth.”

John Eastman, architect of Trump’s 2020 conspiracy to steal the election, should be disbarred, judge rules

CALIFORNIA "Judge" Yvette Roland, evidently does not understand that the Constitution that guarantees legal representation to anyone charged. (Even Charles Manson had an attorney.) Nor did she hear that Georgia State's Committee found there was plenty of evidence of fraud. Roland is the one turning a blind eye to evidence. Hunter's Laptop (51 "intelligence" guys said was "Russian disinfo") would have been enough for Trump to win. It is obvious by Biden's low approval numbers that he did not get "more votes than Obama." Her recommendation should be ignored by the Bar.
TrumpFairfield.com/video/AtlantaVoteFraud

 

"California Judge Yvette Roland--handpicked by the Democrat House speaker... Roland's a donor to Barack Obama, Kamala Harris, Gavin Newsom, DNC, ActBlue, and other Democrats."
What could go wrong? If she is really confident that Biden won fairly, why doesn't she want an attorney to challenge the election? Judges are supposed to be unbiased.

I grew up Lutheran, but I was good pals with this kid who was some strain of fundy, Pentecostal I think. One day we were shopping for a gift for a friend of ours. I casually suggested an Ouija board. His demeanor changed and he got quite serious, and advised me that that was a sort of Demonic thing.
Later I became quite enamored of Houdini. One day I was over at my fundie friends place and his mother suggested quite seriously to me that Houdini may have accomplished his escapes because he was in league with the Devil. That point was a starting point of deconversion to me, as I realized immediately that it was pure bullshit. So I knew that at least ~some~ religious ideas were utter nonsense, and how many I realized were nonsense grew over time until complete deconversion.

D.J. Grothe

Matt Crowley I was flabbergasted once when a leader in the cult I joined as a teenager told me with a straight face that the children in his family do not watch David Copperfield, because it’s well known that Copperfield uses demons to accomplish his miracles like levitation

Together with some friends (and fellow mentalists), we have founded a non-profit organization with which we want to promote memory techniques and various study methods to a broader audience, with a lot of attention to scientific substantiation and correctness.K
Our target audience is in principle very diverse, but we are currently focusing on a large project in which we want to help children in poverty or deprivation to study more efficiently and effectively.
It often concerns generational poverty, and education remains 'one of' the best ways to escape generational poverty.
By offering memory techniques, together with various study methods, we hope to be able to do something for these children.

Statistics from the US Government: Immigrants use the most welfare and stay on it for generations. Low IQ people do jobs being replaced by robots. They provide dependable votes to replace Americans, including YOU.

 

 

You’re wrong: immigrants use less government benefits than native born people per capita. Read the link above. Or any of the research on this. (How did you come to hold such false beliefs? Or beliefs like that Hillary Clinton had personally murdered dozens of people, etc.? You’re such a victim, both of your brain and of rightwing propaganda.)

D.J. Grothe Straw Man again. I never said that about Hillary yet you keep claiming it to side step the argument. You did not have time in 17 minutes to even watch Stefan's 35-minute video much less check the official sources he cites.
Migrants may not be eligible for some programs, but the CATO study did not count the free food stamps, cell phones, flights, and hotels given by sanctuary cities. Many claim to be citizens to get the benefits. I know this from experience renting to foreign students at an international university who game the system, and had to make a rule against such mail coming to my house.
There are 1) policies that are SUPPOSED to be enforced, and 2) policies that are ACTUALLY enforced. For example, migrants are supposed to come legally, yet over 10 million have illegally under Biden.
