"Scientists" believe life began in underwater hydrothermal vents 4 billion years ago. I believe it began at the Denny's off the interstate in Toledo Ohio in 1956. I don't make fun of their theory and yet they constantly ridicule mine. And that's what's wrong with our so-called elites

In case you hadn’t heard, National Treasure Funnyman Bill Maher recently won “Mark Twain’s Prize.”
Anyone Mark Twain likes is good enough for me!
Bill also deserves a prize for bravely defending America from the Writer’s Guild.
Presidential Medal of Freedom perhaps? (Hint, hint!)

It has so many implications & consequences too. One is, whatever secret cabal you think is running things-- the DNC, AIPAC, globalist elites, George Soros, take your pick --you're wrong. No one is in charge. Everyone is winging it by the seat of their pants. Everyone is fumbling around in the dark.
