12 Things Happy People Do Differently -- And Why I Started Doing Them | Jacob Sokol
Here are a dozen things that any of us -- at any age or stage of life -- can start doing today to feel the effects of more happiness in our lives [2].
- Express gratitude. -- When you appreciate what you have, what you have appreciates in value. Kinda cool right? So basically, being grateful for the goodness that is already evident in your life will bring you a deeper sense of happiness. And that's without having to go out and buy anything. It makes sense. We're gonna have a hard time ever being happy if we aren't thankful for what we already have.
- Cultivate optimism. -- Winners have the ability to manufacture their own optimism. No matter what the situation, the successful diva is the chick who will always find a way to put an optimistic spin on it. She knows failure only as an opportunity to grow and learn a new lesson from life. People who think optimistically see the world as a place packed with endless opportunities, especially in trying times [3].
- Avoid over-thinking and social comparison. -- Comparing yourself to someone else can be poisonous. If we're somehow "better" than the person that we're comparing ourselves to, it gives us an unhealthy sense of superiority. Our ego inflates -- KABOOM -- our inner Kanye West comes out! If we're "worse" than the person that we're comparing ourselves to, we usually discredit the hard work that we've done and dismiss all the progress that we've made. What I've found is that the majority of the time this type of social comparison doesn't stem from a healthy place. If you feel called to compare yourself to something, compare yourself to an earlier version of yourself.
- Practice acts of kindness. -- Performing an act of kindness releases serotonin in your brain. (Serotonin is a substance that has TREMENDOUS health benefits, including making us feel more blissful.) Selflessly helping someone is a super powerful way to feel good inside. What's even cooler about this kindness kick is that not only will you feel better, but so will people watching the act of kindness. How extraordinary is that? A side note is that the job of most anti-depressants is to release more serotonin. Move over Pfizer, kindness is kicking ass and taking names.
- Nurture social relationships. -- The happiest people on the planet are the ones who have deep, meaningful relationships. Did you know studies show that people's mortality rates are DOUBLED when they're lonely? WHOA! There's a warm fuzzy feeling that comes from having an active circle of good friends who you can share your experiences with. We feel connected and a part of something more meaningful than our lonesome existence.
- Develop strategies for coping. -- How you respond to the "craptastic" moments is what shapes your character. Sometimes crap happens -- it's inevitable. Forrest Gump knows the deal. It can be hard to come up with creative solutions in the moment when manure is making its way up toward the fan. It helps to have healthy strategies for coping pre-rehearsed, on-call, and in your arsenal at your disposal.
- Learn to forgive. -- Harboring feelings of hatred is horrible for your well-being. You see, your mind doesn't know the difference between past and present emotion. When you "hate" someone, and you're continuously thinking about it, those negative emotions are toxic for your well-being. You put yourself in a state of suckerism (technical term) and it stays with you throughout your day.
- Increase flow experiences. -- Flow is a state in which it feels like time stands still. It's when you're so focused on what you're doing that you become one with the task. Action and awareness are merged. You're not hungry, sleepy, or emotional. You're just completely engaged in the activity that you're doing. Nothing is distracting you or competing for your focus.
- Savor life's joys. -- Deep happiness cannot exist without slowing down to enjoy the joy. It's easy in a world of wild stimuli and omnipresent movement to forget to embrace life's enjoyable experiences. When we neglect to appreciate, we rob the moment of its magic. It's the simple things in life that can be the most rewarding if we remember to fully experience them.
- Commit to your goals. -- Being wholeheartedly dedicated to doing something comes fully-equipped with an ineffable force. Magical things start happening when we commit ourselves to doing whatever it takes to get somewhere. When you're fully committed to doing something, you have no choice but to do that thing. Counter-intuitively, having no option -- where you can't change your mind -- subconsciously makes humans happier because they know part of their purpose.
- Practice spirituality. -- When we practice spirituality or religion, we recognize that life is bigger than us. We surrender the silly idea that we are the mightiest thing ever. It enables us to connect to the source of all creation and embrace a connectedness with everything that exists. Some of the most accomplished people I know feel that they're here doing work they're "called to do."
- Take care of your body. -- Taking care of your body is crucial to being the happiest person you can be. If you don't have your physical energy in good shape, then your mental energy (your focus), your emotional energy (your feelings), and your spiritual energy (your purpose) will all be negatively affected [4]. Did you know that studies conducted on people who were clinically depressed showed that consistent exercise raises happiness levels just as much as Zoloft? Not only that, but here's the double whammy... Six months later, the people who participated in exercise were less likely to relapse because they had a higher sense of self-accomplishment and self-worth.

What is society to do with these people?
In
Nazi Germany there were raised Hitler Youth and Brownshirts. Violent
people who enjoyed doing violence to others. We now have a population
of them. We can tolerate them in the name of trying to be sensitive or
we can begin to move against them. I
have bad news, very very few of these can be redeemed back into culture.
They have no future. Sure, they can find spiritual peace perhaps, but
they must be cut from society like the cancer they are. We now have a
problem that we must solve..and quickly. OR they will begin to become
the gangsters of the future and be an even bigger problem. They can be
arrested, many can go to jail.. but then what? What is society to do
with these people?
Click to the article, the headline becomes “Health Law Rollout’s Stumbles Draw Parallels to Bush’s Hurricane Response.”
I can think of a whole bunch of non-parallels:
1. Bush’s political party didn’t design and enact Hurricane Katrina.
2. Bush didn’t have 5 years to craft his response to the hurricane.
3. Bush didn’t have the power to redesign the hurricane as he designed his response to it.
4. The Republican Bush believed he could not simply bully past the Democratic Mayor of New Orleans and the Democratic Governor of Louisiana and impose a federal solution, but the Democrat Obama and his party in Congress aggressively and voluntarily took over an area of policy that might have been left to the states.
5. The media were ready to slam Bush long and hard for everything — making big scandals out of things that, done by Obama, would have been forgotten a week later (what are the Valerie Plame-level screwups of Obama’s?) — but the media have bent over backwards for years to help make Obama look good and to bury or never even uncover all of his lies and misdeeds.
6. If Bush experienced a disaster like the rollout of Obamacare, the NYT wouldn’t use its front page to remind us of something Bill Clinton did that looked bad.
Althouse: The NYT acknowledges Obama's in trouble by reminding us that Bush was really, really...

This is why we need Concealed Carry...
If we don't start to stop this kind
of thing the lawlessness will only increase... and SHAME ON THE FAMILY..
it sends the wrong message.
Court records show that Adric White was out on bond for robbing The Original Oyster House at gunpoint a little more than a month before the Family Dollar robbery which got him shot...he is presently in police custody....THE SUSPECT'S FAMILY ARE ANGRY because HE GOT SHOT... they said the customer that shot White should have just left the store and minded his own business... rather than shooting White...
The customer (not identified but not charged with anything) ... saw White holding an employee with a gun to the man's head...the customer using his own gun drew it out and told White to hold it... when White turned toward the customer... he brought his gun with him and before White leveled the gun on the customer holding his gun...the customer shot him....
I wonder why White was out on the street after his gun robbery of the Original Oyster House a month before this happened?... Maybe this time he will be put away before he shoots someone....

The most damning thing about deception is, you don't know you are, until your not!! By Steve Chase
Three attitudes that can be telltale signs people are deceived. #1 Adamant - #2 Angry - #3 Arrogance
1. Adamant-People who are deceived are usually very adamant about their beliefs. They will have long passionate monologues about their beliefs, and when challenged will use long, often off topic answers, especially on Social Networks to protect their positions. They feel they have to correct everyone else and often lead every conversation to their particular point of view.
2. Anger-people become very angry when you try to show them where they are deceived. They are increasingly blinded by emotion and respond from that energy instead of thinking rationally.
3. Arrogance-People who are deceived tend toward condescending other peoples beliefs and doctrines often mocking them. They tend to dismiss others by saying they are un-initiated or old order, legalist, under the law or religious. This usually happens when their positions can't be defended, so they begin to assassinate the personhood or personality of others who are challenging their beliefs.

I'm sure that bad government policy has nothing to do with this.
I mean, if
you DO own a home in Chicago, you have no oppressive regulations, you
are perfectly safe at all times, utilities are cheap and your taxes are
VERY low. So what's the problem? How long before Chicago becomes
Detroit? A year, two? It seems like voters in Chicago are proficient
about voting against their own best interests. Can this be saved?
The Chicago-area's abandon property
www.chicagobusiness.com
With
more than 55,000 vacant homes in Cook County, government leaders are
coping with a catastrophe that invites comparisons to the Great Chicago
Fire. "It's like we are standing there on the day after (the
Just one name
Name just one famous
person in history-good or bad-whose name has been adopted as a cuss
word: Napoleon, Shakespeare, Hitler, Mother Teresa, or perhaps Gandhi?
There's only One human being whose Name is used to express disgust. He
is the One who said to love your enemies, to show kindness to those who
despitefully use you, and to treat others as you would have them treat
you. Why then is He despised? It's because He's also the One who
maintained that God requires moral accountability. He warned, "The world
cannot hate you, but it hates Me because I testify of it that its works
are evil" (John 7:7).
Bankruptcy, it's the Chicago way.
So it
can be understood: Why Detroit can't work and Chicago won't. It's
all about tax base. The money to operate a city can't be printed out of
thin air. Someone has to pay it. If the money is extracted until it
creates impasse from the taxable base the city collapses. Let's imagine
for a moment that the city of Chicago experienced a huge fire,
earthquake and tornado in one day leveling to the
ground every single structure. Nothing left within the city limits.
Not one thing standing. Coincident with that all the insurance
companies in the nation went bankrupt and could not pay. The city no
longer existed physically. The population is standing on the rubble
saying now what? Now let's imagine that the Police, City Workers,
Teachers and others on the heels of this are demanding pay increases,
pension funding and job security. Then imagine that the city government
announces that to rebuild will require everyone who stays to rebuild to
pay double in taxes. What fool in his or her right mind would start a
business, build a house or a building when a few miles away in any
direction is another state, county or city without that tax problem they
could rebuild in. That is about what we have right now. Taxing isn't
working to find revenue. The Teachers got theirs, it's just over.
Unless things are dialed back HARD.. the whole thing is doomed. People
are already voting with their feet. At some point the whole of the
operation will depend on that last homeowner, the tax on that last pack
of cigarettes, on the owner of that last business. In order to keep it
going the tax on that last home will have to be millions. I know this
seems dire, but the reality is this can't work. There is no fix.
Anyone who tells you differently is lying. And the same policies are
now resident in Washington.
How to help .... really
I
just saw a report about some well meaning people in Chicago trying to
put together a shipment of shoes, blankets and other things to help the
people in the Philippines after the typhoon. Bless their well
intentioned hearts, but that doesn't work. What does work is to finance
qualified people who know how to do it and supply them the resources
they need to accomplish the task THERE. China, Japan
and South Korea have what they need to buy (Blankets, shoes, water and
food). Money will get it underway. So if you care, send money. I have
opinions on which are the most effective at using money well.. starting
with Catholic Charities (over Red Cross). They are already on site,
well infrastructured and able.
WWJD? Would Jesus start a small group that looks like what we do?
This
is interesting. The last paragraph is the most telling. I'm afraid
that small groups, as much fun as they are.. don't work.
"Jesus would actually be doing what small groups say they want/should/need to be doing, but they can’t, because they’re too busy being a “small group” inside the confines of your small group’s ministry infrastructure.
It’s like a jogging class where the instructor, instead of taking his class jogging and commenting on technique while class members actually are jogging, stuffs everyone into a classroom and lectures to them three days a week and then gives them a final exam.
Disciples are created “out there.” Small groups, if not by their definition, definitely by their practice, all occur “in here.”
With few exceptions, modern-day small groups are great at producing:
• Christians who sit in circles and talk to one another inside a building
• people who read and comment on the Bible
• people who rant about how they long to “get out there” and do something that matters
• people who awkwardly end their time by praying for “prayer requests”
• people who go home unchallenged and unchanged."

Liberals and other democrats rail against the Tea Party.
Call it extremist. Claim it is filled with people who will destroy that
nice compliant Republican party. IF there really were a two party
system in this country and the democrats
wanted to rule for a thousand years, then the should encourage,
finance, support and stay silent about the Tea Party rather then demean
it. That would certainly be the failure and disarm completely the
Republicans. That would certainly be success forever for Democrats.
RIGHT? RIGHT? No despite the rhetoric, the Democrats deep down know
that if true movement conservatives emerge from this battle, they are
doomed... Reagan would have been a Tea Partier. The establishment

The Homosexual Agenda Is Nazism With A Smiley Face By Theodore Shoebat
The sodomite agenda is here, to use the words of Jesus, “only to steal and kill and destroy.” (John 10:10) And this is what I have been warning for quite some time now. The entire goal of the sodomites is the destruction of Christianity, and such hatred for the Faith leads to one thing: tyranny.
A most recent example and foreshadowing of this preventible horde of perdition, is the sodomite Dan Savage, in a moment of honesty, letting go of his homosexual terrorism and expressing his homosexual sharia, saying that mandatory abortion should be done for the cause of population control:
This sodomite wants to decrease the population, the first person to go should be him.
The statement of this sodomite, and the reckless laughter of the audience, only shows that the modern world has learned nothing from the Holocaust, in fact, we have only gotten worse.
As time goes on, these citizens of Gomorrah are gradually throwing away the mask of being the friendly, stereotypical, nice and elegant person that the world wants you to perceive them as, and the demons which once possessed the souls of Sodom, are now exposing themselves through these tyrannical haters of the Cross.
Notice how St. Paul described the sodomites as men “leaving the natural use of the woman,” (Romans 1:26), the word to focus on is “natural,” which means that it is unnatural, and thus to be a sodomite is not a natural right. In other words, it deserves no natural rights under the state; therefore the permitting of the sodomite agenda to grow and propagate is contrary to the natural order, and because of this, it is only leading to chaos and destruction.
Hence why this sodomite wants mandatory abortion, and the words of the Almighty fit ever so perfectly for this: “all they that hate me love death.” (Provers 8:26)
And to those who say that I am wrong because “God is love,” I must say, how is it love to tolerate such a wicked people? How is it love to suffer them to percolate and flood the world with this most violent and demonic doctrine, which not only leads to depravity, but the utmost of despotism?
They say it is for the sake of “freedom and liberty.” True liberty is one that is preserved, not experimented with; it is one that is prevented from being taken by the conniving wolves who wish to steal it from the righteous.
What then would be true love in society’s relation to the sodomites? When speaking of the Law, St. Paul describes it as love:
Thou shalt not kill: Thou shalt not steal: Thou shalt not bear false witness: Thou shalt not covet: and if there be any other commandment, it is comprised in this word: Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. (Romans 13: 9.)
Therefore, when Moses states that sodomites “shall surely be put to death” (Leviticus 20:13), or when St. Paul writes the actions of the sodomite “are worthy of death” (Romans 1:31), this is all a part of the Law of Love. True love is not tolerating sodomites, but intolerating them. Loving one’s neighbor is not allowing the sodomite agenda from prospering, but preventing it from reaching your neighbor’s children and society.
Outlawing the sodomite agenda, is love.
People say that what is happening in Russia against the sodomites is “persecution,” but I will ask you, the reader, to consider the true persecution taking place right now against the Church in Pakistan, and give to Rescue Christians and save Christian lives now.

Not a Fan of Missions Trips
I
don't want to offend, but I'm not a big fan of missions trips, at least
how most of them are conducted. They drag impressionable young people
off to booogal googlla somewhere and they see dire poverty. Without
understanding the come back to the USA and somehow decide that it's our
fault they are poor. That our being rich is somehow a curse on us
because they live on a dollar a day or some such.
That is flawed economics and flawed theology. It messes kids up. IF
they grasped what and why they would understand and begin to deal with
the cause and not the symptoms. It creates guilt where none should
exist. Worse, it can cause them to reject the very thing that would
help these poor people get out of poverty. Not everything we call mercy
IS. One more thing, IF you have ever preached about how rich we are
compared to the poor people of the world ... I beg you to STOP. You are
creating attitudes that will impoverish the very people you are
preaching to and make things worse, not better, globally.

When Obama Cut the Head off of America
When I heard this speech in Cairo in 2009 I knew we were in for deep trouble. Re-Reading it today reminds me of something that Karen Redman said:
Tolerance is not love and compromise is not peace. Truth is not relative.
Here are some actual excerpts directly from the text of his speech that tries to destroy this reality. If you are easily deceived you will read or hear his speech and say, wow, isn't that wonderful. NO, it's not. I heard this thru the ears of the Spirit of God and was saddened. Comments in CAPS are mine. You don' t get this unless the Spirit of God is in you and discernment is in operation:
"Islam is a part of America. And I believe that America holds within her the truth that regardless of race, religion, or station in life, all of us share common aspirations -- to live in peace and security; to get an education and to work with dignity; to love our families, our communities, and our God. These things we share. This is the hope of all humanity".
HE EQUATES ISLAM WITH AMERICAN VALUES... HOPE OF ALL HUMANITY. INNOCENT ENOUGH UNTIL YOU READ ON
In Ankara, I made clear that America is not -- and never will be -- at war with Islam. (Applause.) We will, however, relentlessly confront violent extremists who pose a grave threat to our security -- because we reject the same thing that people of all faiths reject: the killing of innocent men, women, and children. And it is my first duty as President to protect the American people.
WHEN HE SAID THIS, VIOLENT EXTREMISTS MEANT PEOPLE LIKE ME. IT HAS COME TO PASS. PROTECTING THE AMERICAN PEOPLE... MEANS WE ARE NOT AT WAR WITH A POLITICAL RELIGION DEDICATED TO KILLING US?
For decades then, there has been a stalemate: two peoples with legitimate aspirations, each with a painful history that makes compromise elusive. It's easy to point fingers -- for Palestinians to point to the displacement brought about by Israel's founding, and for Israelis to point to the constant hostility and attacks throughout its history from within its borders as well as beyond. But if we see this conflict only from one side or the other, then we will be blind to the truth: The only resolution is for the aspirations of both sides to be met through two states, where Israelis and Palestinians each live in peace and security.
HE IS ABOUT TO IMPOSE BY FORCE IF NECESSARY A TWO STATE SITUATION IN THE MIDDLE EAST. KERRY RECENTLY SUGGESTED THAT THE BORDER BE RETURNED TO 1967. DEATH TO ISRAEL..IS WHAT THAT MEANS.. AN ISLAMIC MANTRA
when the Holy Land of the three great faiths is the place of peace that God intended it to be; when Jerusalem is a secure and lasting home for Jews and Christians and Muslims, and a place for all of the children of Abraham to mingle peacefully together as in the story of Isra -- (applause) -- as in the story of Isra, when Moses, Jesus, and Mohammed, peace be upon them, joined in prayer.
THIS IS ABSOLUTE HERESY, BLASPHEMY, JESUS MOSES AND MOHAMMED JOINED IN PRAYER? I KNOW ITS AN ISLAMIC MYTH... BUT WHY APPEAL TO THIS LIE? http://www.believersingrace.com/outofegyptpart3.html
This last point is important because there are some who advocate for democracy only when they're out of power; once in power, they are ruthless in suppressing the rights of others. (Applause.) So no matter where it takes hold, government of the people and by the people sets a single standard for all who would hold power: You must maintain your power through consent, not coercion; you must respect the rights of minorities, and participate with a spirit of tolerance and compromise; you must place the interests of your people and the legitimate workings of the political process above your party. Without these ingredients, elections alone do not make true democracy.
YET THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED IN EGYPT, LIBYA AND TUNISIA DURING ARAB SPRING, WORSE THAN THAT, IT IS EXACTLY WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THE USA..THE ADVOCATE FOR DEMOCRACY HAS BECOME A DICTATOR.
Gene again: I know it's much easier to keep your head in the sand, most won't re read the speech. Yet he stood there in front of people who would as soon lop your head off as look at you, and he lopped the head from the USA. He revealed much of who he is at this venue. He was a prophet... and now we are under judgement.
Read it please and weep for our once great nation:

Yet he stood there in front of people who would as soon lop your head off as look at you, and he lopped the head from the USA. He revealed much of who he is at this venue. He was a prophet... and now we are under judgement.
Read it please and weep for our once great nation:

Until there is a heart change, nothing will change.
We are engaged in a great civil war (still a cold one), this battle was lost.. for now, but if we understood the root and dealt with that we could take back this ground now lost to the enemy. We MUST have government Representative of an electorate that has values based in a Biblical Worldview.
The electorate that put these people in power as their representatives to vote as they did is the core of the issue. IF their hearts don't change, nothing will change.
I was at a church before the 2012 election on the south side. A large church. One that has great influence over the community they minister to. They were actively registering people to vote for exactly the representatives and leaders that facilitated this tragic vote.
I did not spend much time protesting politicians with allegiance to an electorate and an ideology that is so ungodly. Sure, they made some motions like they were "Considering" it. It was too late. I admire those who did fight... but it was the Alamo. The heroes who died in battle are not available for the next fight.
The real battle is on the streets and avenues of our cities. Hearts and minds, unrenewed spirits. Not Christian in Name only churches signing up voters in the lobby for the people who voted for this in Springfield. The church and spiritual leadership in our nation do not understand the battle. Worse, they accept circumstances that lead to this debacle and never cry out. Where are the prophetic voices that call out Ichabod against these things as they arise among the very people we minister to? I'm talking about the ballot box. They are silent because the ministry money machine had to be fed.. and speaking truth to the real power of the people in the pew voting their emotions rather than their espoused values is a risk they just can't take. It might be hard on the giving. Schizophrenia. Instead we go to Springfield to tilt at a windmill. God bless those who fought, but lets fight the REAL BATTLE... hearts and minds of the deceived in our cities. Until there is a heart change, nothing will change.

More from the dictator in chief.
More of our constitutional rights under attack.... freedom of the press is in the crosshairs.
FCC Laying Grounds for New Fairness Doctrine?

In
2012, the FCC contracted with the left-leaning Annenberg School of
Communication and Journalism to study "entry barriers" to the media and
see whether or not minority groups had enough access to the
This is very encouraging.

has in giving people power they would not otherwise have.
‘David and Goliath’ Author Explains How ‘Disadvantages Are Often Advantageous’

Malcolm
Gladwell, a staff writer at the New Yorker the author of David and
Goliath: Underdogs, Misfits, and the Art of Battling Giants, appeared on
"The Glenn Beck Program" Monday to discuss the biblical story after
lack of household formation
The
lack of household formation is killing us: That is a man and a woman
MARRY, establish themselves in a community, work, make a life together,
pay bills, have children, raise them up and nurture their grandchildren
together... That is the plan of God
going forth fruitful and multiply. The lack of household formation in
this whole generation is choking our economy. It is said that ONE
household formation generates $30,000 in the first YEAR of new economic
activity. Our government legislates against household formation. Now
we have a mess.

Though the nation is officially four years into “economic recovery,” a new Pew Research Center analysis of recently released Census data suggests that most Millennials are still not setting out on their own.

"'Purge surge': Obama fires another commander" 11/05/13
Obama is in a full purge of any officers who are not of the Hard Left agenda. All tyrants do this just like what Stalin did. He shot all the officers but Americans do it clean.
Very soon if not already, the US military will be lead by the Hard Left and ready to be used against the evil Americans who resist the reprobates.
It did not take long to destroy the military after open homosexuality was promoted in the ranks.
I also do believe that Hard left officers that Obama is now promoting are incompetent. I know nothing directly about any of them, but this is all part of God's judgment on America.
The military leaders will not make right decisions when the time comes as the curse of God descends over every aspect of America.
Isaiah 3:1-3 For, behold, the Lord, the LORD of hosts, doth take away from Jerusalem and from Judah the stay and the staff, the whole stay of bread, and the whole stay of water, The mighty man, and the man of war, the judge, and the prophet, and the prudent, and the ancient, The captain of fifty, and the honourable man, and the counsellor, and the cunning artificer, and the eloquent orator.
the name of controlling federal grants!
Congress, first, replaced
religious liberty with state toleration. Tax exemption originally meant
no jurisdiction by the state over the church, because the power to tax
is the power to control and destroy. Now, these humanistic statists tell
us it is a subsidy! Tax exemption is called "Federal financial
assistance," and the courts hold that controls must follow assistance
from the civil treasury. This means a mandate to control churches, and
every facet of their existence, including Christian Schools, colleges,
seminaries, employees, etc., in the name of controlling federal grants!

~ I HATE POVERTY ~
“I am for doing good to the poor, but...I think the best way of doing good to the poor, is not making them easy in poverty, but leading or driving them out of it. I observed...that the more public provisions were made for the poor, the less they provided for themselves, and of course became poorer. And, on the contrary, the less was done for them, the more they did for themselves, and became richer.” ~ Benjamin Franklin

I musta missed someone
I just received an audit on my tax return for 2012 back from the IRS. It puzzles me!!!They are questioning how many dependents I claimed.
I guess it was because of my response to the question: "List all dependents?"
I replied: 12 million illegal immigrants; 3 million crack heads;
42 million unemployed people on food stamps,
2 million people in over 243 prisons;
Half of Mexico ; and 535 persons in the U.S. House and Senate."
1 useless President.
Evidently, this was NOT an acceptable answer.
I KEEP ASKING MYSELF, WHO DID I MISS?
