The BBC airs a comedy show where nothing is off limits.
This one made me laugh out loud.
I hope you are not offended. It turns popular prejudices inside out.

Thanks so much, Diane. This is brilliant, as the Brits would say…and up to the sterling standards of unparalleled British humour…
I have watched it about 12 times and I laugh every time.
LOVED it and sent it on to others.
“I’m guessing now is not the time to tell you I am Jewish.”
I would send this to my mask-hating, racist, sacralist family members, but (1) they would just hate me even more; (2) it wouldn’t do any good; and (3) it might even give one a new heart attack.
Nevertheless, it’s a hoot, especially at the end, and I did pass it on to others. Thank you. CBK
It’s so funny you should share it.
Diane You don’t know these family members.
Another reason, and this is from my past experience: They will see it as a way to justify THEIR sending me reams of their sacralist evangelical printed material (I was going to call it literature, but in the interest of accuracy . . . ).
But thanks again, . . . what a hoot. I’ll watch your ZOOM interview later today or Sunday. CBK
Trump just tweeted:
I know the Bible. Jesus was white. It’s written in one of the testaments.
How pathetic, but nonetheless expected! DJT reminds me of an evil 7th grader.
Nobody knows the Bible like Trump.
Well, come to think of it, that is, in fact, close to being true. LOL.
If someone asked Trump who wrote the Bible, would he answer, “God.”
And then Kayleigh McEnany would say that obviously what he meant was that God inspired the writers and spoke through them and that people just want to twist his words but that she can assure you that there is not a person on the Earth who has knowledge of the Bible as deep as Donald Trump does. And then I would get to read, the next day, all the funny Twitter commentary about that. Donald Trump having nightmares about a horn blowing and the wall tumbling down. Donald Trump bookmarking the part about Lot and his daughters.
Do you remember when Trump mentioned his favorite story: Donald in the Lion’s Den, where God saved him. He speaks with the jawbone of an ass.
LMAO!!!
The Goya foods CEO said, “We are all blessed to have President Trump” as our leader. (despite children placed in cages at the border with Mexico)
He might enjoy the video (sarcasm). He condemns protestors- says they are tearing down statues of Jesus Christ -ironic- considering the commandment about craven images.
I’m curious if Robert Unanue and his wife, Muriel Fitzpatrick, are members of Tim Busch’s Legacy organization for CEO’s and their wives.
Unanue was born with a silver spoon in his mouth.
Well, I think I just did the first grocery shopping I’ve done in years in which I didn’t buy a single product from Goya.
Adios Goya. Gracias por los buenos momentos, pero no puedo, en buena conciencia, continuar nuestra relación. Espero que veas a un terapeuta para buscar una cura para tu enfermedad mental.
I don’t buy their products a lot, but never will again.
I was always a big fan of Goya nectars. But no more.
Don’t mean to be flippant, but GOYA is in trouble. Will they recall one of their favorite products, Black Beans (Frijoles Negros)? Continued sale of this item might offend Brand Meister Trump. Maybe change the label and re-name them Magic Beans. Either way, this bottom-line decision is important. Money Matters.
I just posted on my Facebook account a recipe for making alternatives to Goya seasonings. There’s a lot of that going around. LOL.
Excellent idea. I filled out a contact form at Goya. Tomorrow- I’ll take the Goya info. to the local grocer. Maybe, the business will have the conscience to suspend orders.
If Goya’s response is similar to L.L. Bean’s, it will be, (1) “You’re hurting the employees. And, (2) other family members don’t share Robert Unanue’s view.
Customers aren’t throwing employees under the bus, Robert’s politicking did.
Side note- the Tucker Carlson writer who was exposed for his racist and sexist posted comments, attended Lincoln High School (Sioux Falls, S.D. )- oh, the irony.
This is wonderful.
High-lair-ee-yus! I really needed that.
LMAO
OFF TOPIC!!
How about this whopper!!! I got it from my Evangelical far R Trump loving friend. I wrote back with this reply:”I am totally astounded by the stuff that can be made up and believed.”
There is a never ending supply of garbage due to the internet. GROSS!
MUST READ: Body Cam Transcript Tells a Different Story on the Death of George Floyd
It Now Looks Like George Floyd, Not Derek Chauvin, Killed George Floyd
Guest post by Larry C. Johnson
The transcript from the body camera worn by J. Alexander Kueng shows clear evidence that George Floyd was suffering respiratory distress before police laid hands on him. He died from a Fentanyl overdose, not from being choked out by Minneapolis police. This news will not bring joy to the crazed, leftist mob screaming to lop off the heads of the Minneapolis police officers who stand accused of “murdering” George Floyd and little attention has been paid to the transcript since its release on July 7. I hope to correct that oversight.
First a note about Officer J. Alexander Kueng. He also is a black man. He was adopted shortly after birth by a white woman and single mother. Can’t have that story out there. Simply does not promote the meme that white Americans are inherently and irredeemably racist. How can a racist white woman be a loving mother to a black child? Racists don’t do that.

Loved it! Have shared the same points at church on numerous occasions but my delivery definitely lacks the comic element. I think my minister will get a kick out of it.
That BBC video with Jesus in it was more accurate than many think.
He is really good. At first I thought he was lip syncing but realized even moronic Trump didn’t say those things. It probably will give him a GREAT idea of what to tell Hannity on their next phone conversation. Trump is much better than Jesus.

Ahh, it was loud aloud funny this morning and it’s still laugh aloud funny in the evening. Thank you.
So many horrors that occur in this world would never happen if people simply cared for each other. I love this video and think it is worth sharing.

Video: The Reward Of Kindness…an “unsung Hero”
“Unsung Hero” is a beautiful advert from Thailand that reminds us that the reward of kindness in life can be the greatest reward of all. Giving to others that are less fortunate is one way to show your kindness but it can also be as simple as just lending a helping hand to someone in need of a little assistance. I particularly like the acts of kindness that are performed when nobody is watching. Live, Love, Laugh.

From Daily Beast, 7-12-2020, “Putin wants to insert references to God and heterosexual marriage into the Constitution. Certain forms of violence against women have been decriminalized (violence within marriage). In Poland, abortion access is already severely restricted.”
Trump appointee- “Our rights come from the Lord.”
Daily Beast, 7-11-2020, “N.C. cop fired over BLM comments says they were religious speech.”
