I Am What I Am (NOT)! George (POPEYE) Santos 2023

Interview: Deciphering devoid of decency deolving de-Volgering: on use of the city’s funds.”

Hi, my name is not what I say it is or what I’ve written down. I don’t respect you and I now commence alternative fact fabrication, or as I call it, breathing.

I am here by hook and by crook. The truth, that establishes a person’s integrity and the value of their word, is all for suckers. A.I. Artificial Intelligence (not the ANSWER! Allen Iverson SHOUT OUT NEWPORT NEWS) invents my new lies of the moment, day or second at warp speed, while I sleep upside down in my Antarctic Vampire lair underground island floating volcano yacht. It’s white like me, to blend in.

My college test scores and grades were taken by one of my many failed aliases. I change names like underwear, and I will repeatedly kill off all my family members, as needed, or just for decor.

I don’t have a price. But I do love Go-Fund-Me wounded warrior service dog surgery projects. No one suspects that anyone would try to ripoff and out-run homeless vets. That’s my soft spot. Helping myself while hurting others needlessly, with malice towards all.

I am actively lying about my weight and wait for my next big super-steal nonreveal.

2 Nrha Communities To Get New Youth Services

NORFOLK Norfolk Redevelopment and Housing Authority (NRHA) and The Boys and Girls Clubs of Southeastern Virginia are teaming up to provide services in Grandy Village and Young Terrace in Norfolk.

“We look forward to bringing our education, social, health and life skills programs to these communities,” said Kevin Will, President and CEO of The Boys and Girls Clubs. “Recreation will also be a part of these services.”

“We couldn’t be more pleased to work with the Boys and Girls Clubs in our communities. They have an impeccable reputation for providing these comprehensive services,” according to Ron Jackson, the Executive Director of NRHA.

The timeline for initiating the program is targeted for the Spring Break of this school year.

“We will be announcing a series of grand opening celebrations as we get closer to the beginning of this partnership.

We look forward to fully engaging with the communities to welcome The Boys and Girls Clubs,” said Kimberly Thomas, Chief Community Engagement Officer at NRHA.

As the first to summit the dark side of Jupiter’s moon with Pink Floyd, I knew instinctively I wasn’t enough. I wasn’t believable or memorable. Therefore, I made 1,000, no 10,000, no 100 million clones of myself, all lying simultaneously rowing in one direction stereo (11.1.) There was no chance of detection what with all my white noise I (WE) emit. I never met a lie I couldn’t tell, or bluff my way over, around, or through. There is a corner room in hell waiting for me, once it or I cool down, whichever comes first.

When I gave up truth, (the real truth not the c(r) ock-amamie TRUTH SOCIAL FARCE HOT MESS, I’ve never looked back since birth. Did you know I was the biggest baby ever born anywhere, at 24lbs? My digital trail of bread crumbs home just leads in circles, jerked like particles of cosmic-angled angel dust rust. When I boil it all down, I just get off on fooling people, fooling around, fool’ fledged (name-of-the-day) Foolery. Taking myself seriously is something I don’t do. Life’s too short to try and remember facts or truths. (Plus, in court, it’s proof.) There’s nothing I haven’t done, said, thought, or would do to get over or ahead. I’m not for sale.

I’m like crypto currency. You can’t put your finger on it, but some things just never add up correctly. I call it inventive (never carry the {any}one) math. Details are for dummies with memories.

When I was born in a galaxy far, far away, a long time ago, I knew it was my destiny to come to America and lie my way to the top, just like my daddy, 45. (He told my mom his name was James, James T. Kirk.)

He is so cool, and my brothers, Ichabod Eric and Downer Donnie are super chill to hang upside down with.

We can always find new ways to dupe unsuspecting poor folks, it’s just what we do, like shooting fish in a barrel with sticks of dynamite. It comes naturally. When you begin to understand I come by this talent (DIS) honestly, and I’m the exact role model type young people and kids chewing cud should inspect thoroughly before taking the tide challenge, eating paint, ingesting flammable materials or paying one second of attention to me, remember that I warned you.

Everything I say has been slow cooked and cured. I know you will enjoy. So what’s next? What’s left for me to do- to others? Where to go and who to lie to next are some of my bucket(headed) list items. I want to leave no lie untold. No truth sacred. No line un-criscossed or doubled-dutched. I can be anything I want to say

I am. I know I am special. I love myself and frankly I’m damn charming. I’m all I need to keep perpetuating myself onto America and the world.

I’m the ultimate projector, photo-Dragon-list. They say, one photo is priceless, well, by my math, every little fib adds up and starts a crap ripple in the toilet of our nation’s minds and psyche. Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled pencil erasers, and I’ll give you a master class in selfmanifestation infestation via major media manip-YOUlation.

Lie to you(r face) soon, New York Republican 2023 Class (of Ass)

Jesus used parables to teach the word. When He was alone with His own disciples, He explained everything. Mark and Matthew differ in their reports of stilling the storm. Mark said Jesus left a crowd behind as they took Him along in the boat. Matthew said that Jesus got Him into the boat and His disciples followed Him. The disciples described a sudden furious storm that was calmed by Jesus.

Do we, with all of our modern technology, face uncontrollable storms?

What is the source of our help? God, through Jesus, calms all storms according to His will. With the various problems that we face, including faithbased challenges, only God through Jesus can create miracles we need. We cannot rely on our strength.

Jesus can only calm any storm with His love and patience. In a storm we may work by faith when problems confront us as we struggle to live by God’s commands. We must continue to pray that God through Jesus Christ, will grant us understanding to believe His word with strength and wisdom to move accordingly; and because He is greater than all worldly events, we can continue our faith based activities.

The endless storms, in our lives, make us witnesses concerning the power of God. Our problems can be like the furious waves that spread over the boat that carried Jesus! We must not forget the source of our help nor the risks involved to witness as we render service for God through His son, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! Jesus knew the unfailing power of God during that raging storm. With His command of authority, everything subsided immediately.

He asked His disciples, “Where is your faith?”

Where is our faith? All storms can be devastating without faith in the enduring love of Jesus Christ. Changes can occur as we choose to surrender to Him anything that the Holy Spirit points out as not being in harmony with His will. Unless the right choices are made by us, then sometimes painful results may occur. His word convinces us that the right choices can keep Jesus in our boat; and with God’s grace, we can overcome our problems no matter how difficult the struggles!

When feeling like we are not independent boatriders, think of promises Jesus has made to convince us not to give up. Trusting in our own strength can cause us to drift from the Lord. We can sometimes become overwhelmed with earthly cares and a spiritual awakening can transform us totally. Growth and change are part of our Christian experiences as we keep Jesus in our rough-riding boat. We can presently continue to pray with confidence in anxious times.

When troubles come, we can cry out to God through Jesus Christ immediately because God wants us to depend on Him which can be accomplished through prayer. It is this enduring love when storms of life occur that Jesus is present when we pray with faith for others and ourselves according to His will. As

Christian believers, we know that Jesus love is needed and that we cannot exist without it! As we sum up many of our stormy experiences, we need to have strong faith at all times in His goodness and power. Because He is our strength, think of the miracles that can occur when our Lord speaks to any circumstance and say “PEACE BE STILL!”
