CLIMATE HOAX: The UK government is considering a new climate law so, of course, the people who want it passed are shrieking again about how “we’ve got a small window left and the next five years are make or break.” Whatever. In 2010, Al Gore said the Ice Caps would melt in 5-7 years. They are still fine.

PRIVATE CHARITY: CLICK https://x.com/margommartin/status/1838346566299480305 [:20] to see Trump give $100 to a young mother of three to help with the grocery bill. Dems went nuts. “That’s illegal!!” Yeah … kinda like it’s illegal that the Dems are ignoring multiple Supreme Court orders to stop “forgiving” student loans.

Also, Trump is a genuinely generous man who has done this kind of thing all his life. Remember when the Clemson football team was scheduled to visit the White House when the chefs were gone because Congress had shut down the government? Trump ordered in from McDonald’s to feed the team.

By contrast, remember what happened when Congress shut down the government under Obama and the White House gardeners went home? They photographed the produce in “Michelle’s” famous organic garden rotting on the ground and tried to blame it on Republicans.

VOLTAIRE: French philosopher Voltaire (1694-1778) wrote more than 20,000 letters and some 2,000 pamphlets and books. He was also a successful playwright.

As to the first part of the meme, it would be impossible to know all he wrote, much less said. However, his hostility to Christianity was such a pervasive part of his life that he ended every letter to friends with “Ecrasez l’infame” (“Crush the infamy” – i.e., the Christian religion). And in 1764 he wrote, “The Bible. That is what fools have written, what imbeciles commend, what rogues teach and young children are made to learn by heart” and “We are living in the twilight of Christianity.” (Voltaire, Philosophical Dictionary, 1764).

As to the second part of the meme, Voltaire died in Paris, so it’s no stretch to think the second part of the meme is also true. Sixteen years after his death, a Bible publisher in Ferney, France, had obtained and was using not only the printing presses Voltaire had used, but also the paper he had made. Also documented is that, 58 years after his death, Voltaire’s former home in Geneva, Switzerland, was being used to store Bibles and Gospel tracts belonging to the local Evangelical Society.
