Why "Loonie"? Chuck123 05/10/2026 11:52 AM
When the Canadian government decided to discontinue printing the $1 bill to save money among other reasons, the feeling of Canadians was that the world would stop rotating and everyone would fall off. When the dies for the new coin were sent to the Royal Mint in Winnipeg, Manitoba they used FedEx. FedEx lost track of the shipment for 3 weeks. Since the design was compromised they hurriedly created a new design.

The new design had a [Canadian] Loon on one side. As a derogatory remark Canadians called it "Loonie". (The term Christian was originally an insult!)
The press was so good that the government was smart enough to go with the flow.

So the LOONIE was born. When the $2 bill was replaced with a coin the nickname was obvious. TOONIE .

You just can't make this up.

Ten Commandments scene? Fahrenheit451 05/09/2026 12:58 PM
Just like that scene from the Ten Commandments movie. Worshiping a false idol. Look at this...A bunch of pastors have erected a Gold Statue of Trump on his golf course. What a sickening display.

Look what Trump and his kids just did....



On June 16th, 2025 Trump announced a new "Trump Phone" available for preorder.

$100 preorder towards a $500 phone.

To date, he's received 590,000+ preorders, taking in an estimated $59 million in sales.

Last month in April, Trump updated the Preorder terms stating there is "No guarantee a phone will be produced or sold".

This is beyond grifting.

And the Trump phone (which will never happen), is the perfect representation of the Trump Presidency:

A bait & switch scam.

He stole their money and told them to cry more.
