MAKE MONEY MANIA

Best Jokes:

1. Honest assessment:

Despite appearing to be good citizens, Jack and Jim were brothers who’d lived their lives on the wrong side of the law, and both could be deeply unpleasant when they had to be.

However, they’d both amassed great wealth and they used their money to hide their criminal ways from the public eye. They even both attended St Patrick’s Church to make themselves look virtuous within the local community.

Eventually, the parish priest retired, and a new priest joined the church.

The new priest, Father O’Malley was a clever man, and he wasn’t fooled when it came to Jack and Jim. He could see the brothers for what they were. He was also a man who was both honest and forthright with his views.

Father O’Malley’s honesty with parishioners was appreciated within the community and very quickly attendance at the church started to grow.

Before long a fund-raising campaign had to be started for repairs to the church roof.

Around this time, Jack passed away suddenly.

In making the funeral arrangements, Jim approached Father O’Malley and said he’d like to pay for the church roof in memory of his brother.

“I’ve just one condition,” said Jim. “When reading the eulogy, you must begin by saying that my brother was a saint. As long as you say that the money’s yours.“

Well, the church roof was in desperate need of repair, so naturally, Father O’Malley agreed.

“I will say he’s a saint,” said the normally candid Father O’Malley, and with that, he took Jim’s money.

A week later at the funeral, after some prayers and a hymn, Father O’Malley stood up to read the eulogy.

“Dearly beloved we’re gathered here today to reflect on Jack’s life”, Father O’Malley began. “Jack was a saint,” he said and then paused momentarily.

“Well, he was when compared with his brother,” Father O’Malley continued. “Beyond that, he was a deeply unpleasant man who cheated on his wife, abused his family and robbed and swindled many people out of their hard-earned money.”

2. On the beach:

Mary was a grandmother who’d taken her grandson Oliver to the beach.

She was sitting reading as Oliver was playing in the sand.

Suddenly, a huge wave crashed onto the shore and, as it receded, it carried Oliver out to sea.

Well, Mary was distraught, naturally.

She looked up to the heavens with her hands together, as if in prayer, and said, “Please God, save my only grandson. I beg you! My life would have no meaning without him. Please bring him back.”

Well, as she said that another wave crashed onto the shore and young Oliver was washed back up on the sand. He was fine and no harm had come to him.

However, Mary raised her eyes to the heavens once again and said, “He was wearing a hat!“

3. No hiding place:

Two guys, Pete and Bill, find themselves standing in line at the Pearly Gates, waiting to see whether they’ll be admitted to the Kingdom of Heaven.

Well, the line is long, so naturally, they start talking to each other, as they wait their turn.

Pete asked Bill how he’d died.

“I was frozen to death,” said Bill. “How about you?“

“I had a heart attack,” said Pete.

“Wow! So, how did that happen?” asked Bill.

“Well, to be honest, I suspected my wife was cheating on me,” Pete responded. “So, I made sure I got home early from work. I ran upstairs only to find my wife sleeping by herself. Then I ran back downstairs and looked in all the places around the house I thought her lover could be hiding. And as I was running back up the stairs again, I had a heart attack.“

“Wow, that really is ironic,” said Bill.

“Why?” asked Pete.

“Well, if only you’d looked in the freezer, said Bill, “then neither of us would be here now.“

4. The worm experiment:

Miss Benes stood in front of her 4th Grade class and welcomed the children to their science lesson.

She then took four glasses and filled them respectively with brandy, wine, beer, and water.

She waited momentarily to give the children a chance to think about what she was doing. Then she distributed four worms, one into each of the glasses.

With that, she explained to the children that they would leave the glasses overnight and observe the results the following morning.

The following morning, she gathered the children together again to observe the state of the glasses.

When they looked, all the worms had died, except the one in the glass filled with water.

“Right, children,” said Miss Benes. “What can we learn from the results of this experiment with the worms?”

From the back of the class, little Johnny’s hand shot up, immediately.

“Well, Miss,” said little Johnny, “It’s obvious from the experiment that if we only drink brandy, wine or beer, then we won’t get worms!“

5. Visit to the doctor:

Jeff goes to see his doctor.

“What seems to be the problem?” asks Dr Wilson.

“Well, I’m not quite sure how best to describe it, doctor,” Jeff responds. “It might be easier if you hold your stethoscope to my thigh and just listen.“

Dr Wilson is slightly puzzled by this suggestion, but he complies with Jeff’s request.

However, when he holds his stethoscope to Jeff’s thigh, he can hear a little voice saying, “Hey man, can I borrow $20? I just need $20 to get me to the end of the week.”

Dr Wilson steps back with a puzzled look on his face.

“Right,” says Jeff, “now hold your stethoscope to my knee.”

Once again, the doctor does as he’s asked.

This time he can hear the same little voice saying, “Hey man, can I borrow $10? I just need $10 to get me to the end of the week.“

Once again, Dr Wilson steps back with a puzzled look on his face.

Jeff looks at him and says, “That’s weird, isn’t it, doctor? Now take a listen to my shin.“

Again, the doctor does as Jeff asks and he hears the same little voice saying, “Hey man, can I borrow $2? I just need $2 to get me to the end of the week.“

Once again, Dr Wilson steps back with a puzzled look on his face. He thinks momentarily and then the answer dawns on him.

“Ah, now I see,” says Dr Wilson.” Your problem is obvious. Your leg is broke in three places.“

6. Polar bear pun:

A polar bear couple, Nanook and Mishka, are relaxing in the vast tundra in northern Canada.

They are starting to get a bit bored when Nanook has an idea.

When Mishka isn’t looking, Nanook flicks her ear and then starts running away yelling: “You’re too slow, Mishka, you can’t catch me!“

Naturally, Mishka is annoyed, and she starts chasing Nanook.

Nanook keeps running away, whilst still taunting Mishka, “Oh, you’re so slow, you wouldn’t even be able to catch my grandma!“

Mishka is getting even more annoyed, so she keeps chasing Nanook.

This goes on for a while until Nanook arrives at the frozen lake. Looking back, he yells, “You’re slow and fat, Mishka. You wouldn’t even be able to get out on this lake!“

At this point, Mishka really has had enough. Finally, she yells, “Careful Nanook, you’re on thin ice!“

7. An early lesson:

Little Johnny comes crying to his mom.

“What’s the matter, Johnny?” asks mom.

“Mom, Lindy pulled my hair,” Johnny responds.

“Oh, Johnny,” says his mom. “Don’t be angry. Your little sister doesn’t realise that pulling hair hurts.”

A short while later, mom hears more crying, so she investigates.

She realises it’s her daughter crying, and she heads for her bedroom, only to meet little Johnny walking out of the door.

Little Johnny looks at his mom and then says, “Right, she knows now!”

8. Confession:

A Jewish guy goes into a confessional box at St Brendan’s Church.

“Father O’Driscoll,” he says, “I’m Yossi Cohen and I’m seventy-eight years old. Believe it or not, I’m currently enjoying lovemaking with both a twenty-eight-year-old girl and her nineteen-year-old sister. We engage in all manner of pleasure, and in my entire life I’ve never felt better.”

“Well, I know that people have their needs,” said Father O’Driscoll in response, “but surely, as a Jewish man, you’ve come to the wrong place? Why are you telling me?“

“I’m telling everybody!” Yossi Cohen responded with a beaming smile.

9. Getting even:

Jim was the CEO of a major corporation, so naturally, he was a man with a big ego.

Anyway, his busy lifestyle catches up with him and he finds himself spending some time in the hospital.

Well, he becomes very unpopular with the nurses, as he bosses them around as he does with his employees. Nothing’s good enough for him, and so none of the hospital staff wants to have anything to do with him.

Now, the head nurse is a wily old bird who’s dealt with plenty of difficult patients in her time.

Recognising he’s becoming a pain in the ass for her team, she decides to act.

She walks into his room and says to him, “Right sir, I have to take your temperature.“

Well, Jim’s not happy, as it’s inconvenient, given he’s busy responding to business emails on his iPhone.

He spends several minutes complaining, but the head nurse is having none of it.

“Sir, I’m sorry but it has to be done and it has to be done now,” says the head nurse.

Eventually, Jim gives in and opens his mouth in compliance.

“No sir, I’m sorry,” says the head nurse, “but for this reading, I have to use an anal thermometer.“

Once again, Jim started complaining, but eventually, he could see he wasn’t getting anywhere, so he rolled over and bared his ass.

He felt the nurse insert the thermometer, then he heard her announce, “I have to get something. Now you stay JUST LIKE THAT until I get back!“

With that she left his room, leaving the door open on her way out.

Jim curses under his breath as he can hear people walking past his door and laughing. After about an hour, his doctor arrives.

“What’s going on here?” asks the doctor.

Angrily, Jim responds, “What’s the matter, Doc? Haven’t you ever seen someone having their temperature taken before?“

After a pause, the doctor replies, “Yes, of course, but not with a daffodil!“

10. The circus opportunity:

A duck walks into a bar and orders a beer and a club sandwich.

The bartender looks at him and says, “Hold on a minute! You’re a duck.”

“Well, your eyes are working then,” the duck responds with a smile.

“And you can talk!” the bartender continues.

“Your ears are working, too,” says the duck. “Now if you don’t mind, can I have my beer and sandwich please?“

“Certainly!” says the bartender. With that, he serves the duck a beer.

“It’s just that we’ve never had a duck in this bar before,” the bartender continues. “What are you doing round this way?“

“You see that building being built across the street?” the duck responds, pointing towards the window.

The bartender nods in response.

“Well, I’m working on that project,” explains the duck. “I’m a plasterer.”

Well, the bartender is struggling to comprehend what he’s just heard but he takes the hint when the duck pulls out a newspaper from his bag and proceeds to read it.

The duck sits quietly drinking his beer, eating his sandwich, and reading his newspaper. When he’s finished, he bids farewell to the bartender and leaves.

The same thing happens every day for the next two weeks. Then one day the circus comes to town.

The circus ringmaster walks into the bar for a drink and the bartender says to him “You’re with the circus, aren’t you? Well, I know this duck that could be just brilliant in your circus. He talks, drinks beer, eats sandwiches, reads the newspaper, and everything!“

“That sounds interesting,” says the ringmaster, handing over his business card. “Ask him to give me a call.”

The very next day, the duck walks into the bar and the bartender says, “Hey buddy, I reckon I can line you up with a top job, paying really good money.“

“Well, I’m always looking for new opportunities,” says the duck. “What is this job?”

“It’s with the circus,” says the bartender.

“The circus?” the duck responds quizzically.

“That’s right,” replies the bartender.

“The circus?” the duck asks again. “That place with the big tent?“

“Yeah, that’s right,” says the bartender.

“With animals who live in cages and performers who live in caravans?” the duck continued.

“Yes, of course,” the bartender replies.

“With a tent that’s made from canvas, with a big canvas roof and a hole in the middle?” the duck persists.

“Yeah, that’s right!” says the bartender.

The duck shakes his head, looking slightly bewildered, and then asks, “What the hell would they want with a plasterer?“

3 Really funny jokes to tell your friends today

01/17/2025 by

If you want people to like you, then always have a funny joke to make them laugh. Here are some very funny jokes to tell your friends today.

They all made me laugh, and I hope they’ll make you and your friends laugh too.

Enjoy them all.

MAKE MONEY MANIA

Funny jokes to tell your friends:

1. The infected thumb:

Bill’s away from home on a business trip and, as he’s on expenses, he decides he’ll have a nice three-course meal in a restaurant.

He takes his seat at the table, exchanges a little conversation with the waitress, places his order and then relaxes with a glass of red wine waiting for his food to arrive.

It’s not long before the waitress brings him a nice, warm bowl of clam chowder with crackers. However, he can’t help but notice that her thumb is sticking in the chowder. He’s not happy but he lets it go.

A little later, the waitress arrives with a plate filled with delicious Spaghetti Carbonara but once again, her thumb is immersed in the spaghetti. Again, Bill’s not happy but he lets it go.

Then as he’s looking forward to his dessert, the waitress returns with some hot apple pie, but once again her thumb is sticking in Bill’s food.

“Mam”, says Bill angrily, “every time you bring my food your thumb’s sticking in it. Why is that?”

“Oh I am so sorry sir”, the waitress responds, “but my thumb has an infection and my doctor says I must keep it warm and moist at all times.”

Disgusted by what he’s hearing, Bill snaps angrily, “Well, why don’t you just stick it up your ass?”

Sheepishly the waitress replies, “Where do you think I’ve been putting it when I’m in the kitchen?”

2. The fishing trip:

Four married men are going on a weekend fishing trip.

They’re exchanging banter in the car on the way to the lake when Jim says, “Guys, you’ve no idea what I had to do to persuade my wife to agree to me joining you on this trip. I’ve had to promise to redecorate the living room and our bedroom next weekend.”

“That’s nothing”, says Mike. “I had to promise my wife that I would build a new deck around the pool area next weekend.”

“You both had it easy”, says Ed. “I had to promise my wife that I’d buy her a new kitchen, as well as pay for her to go fashion shopping in Milan, Italy with her friends next summer.”

They carry on down the highway laughing and joking, but then they realize their friend Vic has yet to say anything.

“Hey Vic”, says Jim, “what did you have to do to get the green light to come with us on this fishing weekend?”

“Not much really”, says Vic, “I just set the alarm for 5.30 am. When it went off, I tapped my wife on the shoulder and said, ‘will you make love with me or should I go fishing?’ to which she responded, ‘take a warm sweater with you, dear.’”

3. The well and the goat:

Two friends, Bert and Mack were out walking one day when they came across an old abandoned well.

Naturally, they were curious as to how deep this well might be, so they dropped a stone down it and listened for the sound of the stone hitting the bottom. But they didn’t hear anything.

So they found a much larger rock and then dropped that down the well but still, they didn’t hear anything.

Clearly, this was a very deep well and they needed something much, much bigger if they were going to hear anything at all.

So Bert and Mack searched around for a while and eventually they found a section of railroad track leaning up against a wall.

“This’ll be perfect”, said Bert.

So between them, they lifted this heavy piece of cast iron and with great effort managed to carry back to the well and drop it down the hole.

As they stood back to listen, a goat suddenly flashed past their eyes and went straight down the well too.

Bert and Mack were still recovering from the shock resulting from what they’d just seen when a farmer appeared.

“Have you boys seen a goat?” asked the farmer.

“Yes”, said Mack, “a goat has just jumped down this well.”

“No, that couldn’t have been my goat”, said the farmer. “Mine was tethered to a heavy length of railroad track.”

1 poem about religion with a powerful message

01/16/2025 by

If you’re searching for a poem about religion, I’ve written an original one for you today. It’s a poem with a message too.

So, are you tired of the endless religious debates that leave you feeling more divided than enlightened?

Do you yearn for a world where faith is a source of comfort and community, not a weapon of judgment?

Today’s powerful poem explores the profound truth that our beliefs are deeply personal and sacred.

It celebrates the beauty of diverse faiths, acknowledging the unique solace and moral guidance they offer individuals.

But here’s today’s underlying point:

Judging another’s path is not our place.

We are all pilgrims on our spiritual journeys, each guided by our inner compass.

True faith, the poem implies, lies not in condemning others but in cultivating compassion and understanding.

This isn’t just a poem about religion; it’s a call for empathy.

It reminds us that the ultimate judgment rests not in human hands but with a higher power.

If you enjoy today’s poem, please feel free to share it on social media.

29 exclusive favourite quotes to inspire you

01/15/2025 by

Your favourite quotes can be such a source of inspiration, especially when we’re feeling a little down. When everything’s not quite going how we’d like, it’s helpful to reflect on the wisdom of successful people.

Successful people weren’t always successful. They started as ordinary people with a dream and a determination to follow that dream and take it as far as they could.

In getting to where they are, they’ll have met many obstacles along the way, and at times, they, too, will have felt a little down.

No one has it that easy. The only difference is that successful people keep going. They never give up.

Successful people make sure they have a source of inspiration for when they need it. They always have something to lift them when times get tough.

When feeling a little down, I love to reflect on inspirational quotes. I love them.

Here are 29 of my favourite quotes that inspire me when I need a lift.

27 excellent quotes by Coco Chanel to inspire you

01/14/2025 by

Today I offer you some inspirational quotes by Coco Chanel.

Gabrielle Bonheur Chanel, better known as Coco Chanel, was a French fashion designer and businesswoman. She was the founder of the brand that bears the name Chanel and she’s credited with popularizing a sporty, casual chic as the feminine standard of style in the years between the two world wars.

More importantly, she was arguably amongst the most influential people of the 20th century and an icon for women everywhere.

Coco Chanel extended her influence beyond couture clothing by realizing her aesthetic design in jewellery, handbags, and fragrance too. Her signature perfume, Chanel No. 5, remains an iconic product to this day, and Chanel herself designed her famed interlocked CC monogram, which has been in use since the 1920s.

By any measure, she was a successful designer and businesswoman, and it’s always a good idea to listen to what successful people have to say.

So here are 27 quotes by Coco Chanel that I hope you’ll find inspirational. Enjoy them all, and please feel free to share them.

  8. There is no time for cut-and-dried monotony. There is time for work. And time for love. That leaves no other time!
  9. I am not young but I feel young. The day I feel old, I will go to bed and stay there. J’aime la vie! I feel that to live is a wonderful thing.
  10. Elegance is not the prerogative of those who have just escaped from adolescence, but of those who have already taken possession of their future.
  11. Women must tell men always that they’re the strong ones. They’re the big; the strong; the wonderful. In truth, women are the strong ones. It is just my opinion, I am not a professor.
  12. Fashion is always of the time in which you live. It is not something standing alone. But the grand problem, the most important problem, is to rejuvenate women. To make women look young. Then their outlook changes. They feel more joyous.

15 powerful quotes by Dr Laura Schlessinger

01/13/2025 by

If you’re looking for quotes by Dr Laura Schlessinger, I have some good ones for you today.

For readers unfamiliar with her work, Dr Laura Schlessinger is an American talk radio host, commentator, and author.

Her radio show consists mainly of her responses to callers’ requests for personal advice.

Her presentation style is a no-nonsense, tough-love approach, which means to some people she can be seen as a little controversial.

Certainly, she’s a social conservative; even her website says that her show preaches, teaches, and nags about morals, values, and ethics.

Nevertheless, she has a loyal following; many people around the world listen to her via her podcasts and access her radio show via the Internet.

Here are 15 quotes by Dr Laura Schlessinger, which I think accurately reflect her approach.

You can judge for yourself whether it’s an approach that would appeal to you, dear reader. However, I think these quotes are worth a few minutes of your time.

MAKE MONEY MANIA

QUOTES BY DR LAURA SCHLESSINGER

It doesn’t matter how we were raised. We become the person we choose to be.

There’s no battered woman alive who didn’t know in advance that the man was bad.

In the end analysis, all we have is who we are and the way we have lived our lives.

The people and circumstances around me do not make me what I am, they reveal who I am.

Because it’s possible to do and you have the right to do it, doesn’t mean it’s the right thing to do.

Don’t worry so much about your self-esteem. Worry more about your character. Integrity is its own reward.

A woman should always be more concerned with standing up for what is right than making sure everyone likes her.

We as human beings should wish to be loved and embraced for our character, respected and relied on for our courage, and trusted for our conscience.

The ultimate quality of your life is not in your resumé but in the minds and hearts of those you mean something to because you gave yourself to them.

You’ve touched people and known it. You’ve touched people and you may never know it. Either way, you have something to give. It’s in giving to one another that each of our lives becomes meaningful.

People with integrity do what they say they’re going to do. Others have excuses.

There are so many responsible, nice, kind guys out there. Why marry a fixer-upper?

Men are very easy to get along with; they just want to come home to something pleasant.

Self-esteem must be earned! When you dare to dream, dare to follow that dream, dare to suffer through the pain, sacrifice, self-doubts, and friction from the world, you will genuinely impress yourself.

Postponing happiness until all your ducks are in order means never because life is not that clean, fair, or predictable. It isn’t what happens to you that defines your life; it’s what you do with it that does.

37 powerful facts about politicians and politics

01/12/2025 by

If you’re looking for facts about politicians and politics, I have some original thinking I thought I’d share with you today.

These quotes reflect the way I see politicians and politics. I’ve learned to view them all with a critical eye.

I’ve been around long enough to know that politicians promise a great deal, but they rarely achieve anything that is of genuine benefit to ordinary people.

Let me say I’m referring to politicians from across the political spectrum. In my lifetime, most political careers I remember have ended in failure, albeit the politicians themselves tend to get rich in the process of failing. Have you ever met a poor politician?

Call me a cynic, but that’s the way I see it.

How about you? Do these quotes align with your point of view?

Look at these facts about politicians, as I see it, and decide for yourself whether I have a point.

If you do enjoy this post, please feel free to share it on social media.

FACTS ABOUT POLITICIANS

The uncritical embrace of fashionable dogma by politicians is the folly of our times.

Politicians are people of personal ambition, not people of integrity. There are exceptions, but very few.

To understand political decisions, simply follow the money. Ask yourself, who benefits financially?

Freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose. A fact that politicians would be wise to remember.

Politicians always promise jam tomorrow, but experience tells us tomorrow never comes.

Politicians see everything through the prism of their prejudices. They judge everything in terms of how it affects their best interests.

Political populism is a term used by establishment politicians to discredit those they fear might have considerable appeal to the voting public.

In modern politics, rhetoric prevails, and facts are ignored. Politicians are manipulating us all, aided and abetted by the mainstream media.

Politicians never accept responsibility for their mistakes. So, those mistakes never get addressed, the result of which is a society in decline.

To politicians, a troll on social media is anyone who promotes an alternative point of view.

MAKE MONEY MANIA

Politicians are all too often taken in by their own rhetoric. They’ve lost sight of the lives of ordinary people.

In politics, if symbolism takes precedence over delivery, then the outcome will only ever be a poor one and not in the best interests of the people.

Participate actively in politics or accept that you’ll be governed by people whose aim is to pursue an agenda that suits their interests and not yours.

Politicians think they can control the climate, but they can’t even control the economy or their borders.

Politics is showbiz for people who lack talent, looks, or an engaging personality. It’s a nice little earner without the need to offer much in return.

Politicians must recognize that saying is not doing, but only doing will ever change anything.

Politicians only ever give serious thought to the concerns of the people when there’s an election on the horizon and they need votes. However, once politicians have power, the concerns of the people are quickly forgotten.

Politicians cannot give unless first they take. The only money politicians have is taxpayers’ money. Even borrowing is simply a tax that will be paid by future generations.

Ultra-orthodox political correctness and the snitch culture it creates on campus are just modern forms of McCarthyism. It’s a step back into the dark age. It’s not progress.

The problem with ambitious politicians is that they are driven by self-interest and a burning desire to secure their place in history rather than the mundane task of improving the lives of those they supposedly represent.

Politicians from across the political spectrum can always be relied upon to avoid answering questions. They’ll respond to questions but always with meaningless guff. They just offer hot air, with no substance.

When politicians seeking power say, “We have no plans to ……” what they mean is, “Given time, that’s exactly what we will do, but it wouldn’t be in our interests to admit that ahead of an election.”

Political language is designed to make lies sound truthful. Listen to politicians with a critical ear and never take anything at face value. Assume they cannot be trusted, and you won’t go far wrong.

Euphemism, ambiguity, and vagueness are the tools politicians use to conceal their real intentions and lull people into a false sense of security. You cannot trust politicians.

Expect little or nothing from politicians, and you won’t be disappointed. Despite their promises when they need your vote, no politician will ever do anything that will improve your life in any significant way. To believe otherwise would be naive.

The problem with modern politics is that we’ve replaced statesmen and women with career politicians. Leaders with vision, principle, and intellect have been replaced by second-rate box tickers.

Power resides in the hands of the powerful. People with considerable wealth and influence. If you think any of them are on your side, you’re naive at best. They’re on their side, and they aim to ensure they remain powerful. It’s a big club, and you’re not in it.

It is a fact that ideology is sustained through intolerance of dissent. Those who expect tolerance from others are the least tolerant themselves.

Playing clever political games is not the same as taking actions that will improve the lives of ordinary people. Politicians are good at games but have shown themselves to be hopeless at making a positive difference to ordinary people.

Politicians will always dismiss dissent in any way they can. They fear dissent, so they have a vested interest in suppressing it. However, silencing people is not the same as winning hearts and minds.

MAKE MONEY MANIA

When governments and ruling elites talk of controlling disinformation, what they mean is suppressing dissent. It’s all about slapping down the little people for having the temerity to question them.

No government can tax its way to prosperity. Tax is a disincentive to hard work and enterprise. A high-tax economy can only become a poor economy, regardless of anything politicians will say to the contrary.

Politicians like to bombard us with platitudes in the hope we’ll think they know what they’re doing. What you won’t hear is anything like a coherent strategy, because they don’t have one. They have no vision, nor do they know where they’re going. They’re simply doing the bidding of their puppet masters, whoever they may be.

Misinformation is unacceptable unless it comes from government-approved sources such as the mainstream media, in which case it’s fine. Politicians are happy to deceive and misinform if it suits their agenda.

Everyone should recognize that politicians have been bought and paid for. It would be naive to believe they’re on your side. They’re not. They’re on the side of their paymasters and puppeteers.

If politicians prioritize wealth redistribution over wealth creation, then it won’t be long before there’s nothing to redistribute. That’s Economics 101. Create a disincentive for enterprise and investment, and people won’t bother. Why take the risk if the reward will just go to someone else?

Political spin is just a form of misinformation. It’s used by politicians to deceive people and persuade them to accept something that’s either not true or would otherwise be unacceptable.

35 powerful but indisputable facts of life

01/11/2025 by

If you are searching for indisputable facts, I can offer you 35 today that we all learn the hard way.

Formal education is a fine thing and worth having, of course, but nothing is more valuable to us all than what we learn once we enter the big, wide world.

From experience, I have learned that all of what follows are indisputable facts.

Please take a few moments to digest them all and see whether you agree.

If you do find these indisputable facts interesting, please feel free to share this post on social media.

MAKE MONEY MANIA

Indisputable Facts

Money is a game, but it’s a game you can learn to play.

Government borrowing is simply a tax on future generations.

Fanatics are never open to reason, and it’s naive to think otherwise.

You never lose friends; you just learn who your real friends are over time.

Fame comes at a price, and that price is the erosion of freedom. Nothing’s for free.

Passively accept the unacceptable, and you’re equally culpable for the consequences.

The life you lead is a direct result of the choices you make. You must learn to make good ones.

We live in an age when indulging people’s delusions takes precedence over what’s in society’s best interests.

To leave a genuine legacy, you must do something from which you will never benefit, but in time others will benefit enormously.

If something is repeated often enough, people will believe it, regardless of whether it’s true. Politicians rely heavily on this phenomenon.

MAKE MONEY MANIA

Beware of unintended consequences. Rarely do politicians anticipate them. So, we must, particularly when it comes to investing.

One of life’s greatest ironies is that those people who think of themselves as liberal tend to be the most illiberal people you’ll ever meet.

Some people will never like you no matter how hard you try to please them. It’s a quirk of human existence, so don’t try to rationalize it.

When a politician begins a response to a question with “Let me be clear,” you can be sure everything that follows will be a lot of meaningless guff.

When we fail to participate seriously in the political process, the cost is being governed by halfwits and charlatans. We get the politicians we deserve.

Just because it’s important to you doesn’t mean it’s important to them. Never assume that what matters to you will matter to others. Rarely is that the case.

If you’re hoping that politicians will improve your life, you’re always going to be disappointed. If your life is to improve, you must do the heavy lifting yourself.

Contrary to what they always say, politicians don’t want people well-educated. If people are well-educated and become wise, they cannot be exploited.

None of us knows when the Grim Reaper will come knocking on our door. All we can do is make the most of the time we have, however long it may be. We must enjoy life while we can.

It may be a court of law, but that doesn’t mean it’s a court of justice. These two concepts are not necessarily mutually inclusive, and it would be a mistake to assume otherwise.

MAKE MONEY MANIA

When you lose a loved one, you learn to live with your loss, but the hole they leave can never be filled. A piece of your life has gone forever. It’s sad, but it’s the nature of human existence.

The way to peace is through strength. Only a fool would mess with someone they know they shouldn’t mess with. Why would anyone attack someone against whom they know they cannot win?

Political donations are never benign. Donations are made based on an incentive. The provider of a donation does so in anticipation of getting something in return. To believe otherwise is simply naive.

Just because it works for you doesn’t mean it works for other people. Just because you’re doing well out of it financially doesn’t mean others gain too. Your gain may be at their cost.

We’ve lost the ability to laugh at ourselves. Human beings are imperfect creatures, and by laughing at ourselves, we poke fun at our imperfections. These days people take themselves far too seriously.

Nothing you’ll learn in a college or university will ever be as useful to you as what you’ll learn in the University of Life, School of Hard Knocks. Education begins once you leave the formal schooling system.

Accept the unacceptable, and the unacceptable is exactly what you’ll get. If it matters to you, recognize there will be times when you must push back. If people in volume push back, they still have real political power.

Never, ever accept anything any government tells you at face value. If it isn’t an outright lie, it will certainly be intended to mislead, deceive, and manipulate. Politicians don’t deal in facts and the truth. They aim to placate, not enlighten.

There are two groups of people we know we cannot trust, and that is politicians and bankers. They should never be allowed to have any more power over us than is absolutely necessary.

Reality, as it’s presented on television, is usually fake, contrived, or simply carefully disguised propaganda. Question everything. Never accept anything at face value. Politicians and the mainstream media are not on your side.

MAKE MONEY MANIA

Offense is taken, not given. So, we have a choice. We can take offense, or we can toughen up and just ignore whatever it is we don’t like. Unless, of course, we’re just grifters looking to exploit an issue to our advantage.

Never underestimate the power of vested interests. If what you’re trying to do works against their interests, they will do everything in their power to ensure that you fail. Remember, if they’re not working with you, they’re working against you.

The role of the mainstream media is not to ensure that you know the truth. Their job is to manipulate you into believing that government-sponsored propaganda and lies are the truth. If your only source of information is the mainstream media, at best you’ll be misinformed.

When politicians are speaking about issues of public concern and, to placate public concern, they say a policy white paper will be issued next year for discussion, you can be sure they have no idea how to deal with the problem, and the aim now is simply to kick the problem into the long grass.

Increasing the tax rate doesn’t mean the government will receive an increased tax take. Tax acts as a disincentive to hard work, enterprise, and investment. So once the tax rate passes a certain point, people give up, don’t invest, or simply move away, and the government ends up with less. Unfortunately, our politicians don’t appear to understand this basic fact of economics.

15 Powerful Quotes by Dr Joy Browne to inspire you

01/09/2025 by

For anyone unfamiliar with her work, the late Dr Joy Browne was an American psychologist and talk show host who specialized in on-air advice counselling.

She hosted a nationally syndicated call-in radio talk show for several decades, providing advice to callers and words of wisdom to her listeners.

Her shows achieved worldwide reach via podcasts and the Internet.

She had a legion of loyal fans who were devastated when sadly she passed away suddenly in August 2016.

Here are 15 quotes by Dr Joy Browne to illustrate why I believe she was an inspiration.

Quotes by Dr Joy Browne:

  1. Stupid and cheerful beats smart but angry. ~Dr Joy Browne

  3. You can only help someone who wants to be helped. ~Dr Joy Browne
  4. If you’re going to have to deal with it sooner or later then sooner is better than later. ~Dr Joy Browne
  5. Appearing to be reasonable is usually more important than being reasonable. ~Dr Joy Browne
  6. Being in a relationship that makes you unhappy is a bad idea. ~Dr Joy Browne
  7. You don’t need a reason to divorce someone you can’t stand. ~Dr Joy Browne
  8. The person who cares least about the relationship controls it. ~Dr Joy Browne
  9. Our feelings are not our responsibility but our behaviour is. ~Dr Joy Browne

  12. Good parenting helps our kids to walk away from us and not to depend on us. ~Dr Joy Browne

  14. If someone is being difficult, what you do is walk away because either they need some time to sort it out, and you can’t do it for them, or they don’t. If they don’t, well you might as well leave with your dignity intact. You can’t make someone love you, you really can’t. ~Dr Joy Browne
  15. The only behaviour we can ever control in this life, as much as we can control anything, is our own. Not anyone else’s. ~Dr Joy Browne
