Truth or Trump

The politically correct version of “Truth or Falsehood” among morally corrupt lawmakers, who are more afraid of man than God, or who are afraid of losing rather than doing their job; or among white blue-collar “evangelicals” or conspiracists who see the Liar-in-Chief or Pharisee-in-Chief as the “anointed” one to save them from the devil’s schemes.

In the “Truth or Trump” battle of conscience over the effort to investigate the January 6 Capitol insurrection, the score was: Trump 175 Truth 35—there were five times as many GOP members who voted to exonerate the Insurrectionist-in-Chief as those who voted to charge him.

Weapon of Mask Destruction

When the individual right to liberty and freedom as part of human rights gives people the choice to decide whether or not to wear a face mask, especially if the authorities have made mask wearing mandatory for everyone in public places—in practice, they could be fined or jailed (or even caned in some extreme cases) for refusing to don a mask.

In a number of red states, millions of hardcore Trumpublicans have used personal, religious, or political freedom as their weapon of mask destruction—they’re not going to bow down to “mask oppression” even if a jail imprisonment awaits them for their repeated social disobedience.

Magatrinated

Being brainwashed or radicalized by ex-president Donald J. Trump, who has continued to spew out election lies and to promote conspiracies or pseudoscientific theories, which sound music to the itchy ears of ultra-MAGA patriots.

Guesstimate how many magatrinated folks would vote for their “political savior” in 2024 or 2028, assuming that he has not been put behind bars by then, or has since been pardoned by a morally corrupt president for his manifold crimes.

Covid-𝛿

Read as “Covid-delta.” Also known as the B.1.617.2 or “Delta” variant. The Indian variant, which is responsible for the second, third, or fourth wave now sweeping many countries, carries 2.61 times the risk of hospitalization within 14 days compared to the UK’s “Alpha” variant.

A recent study shows that 73% of Covid-𝛿 cases are in unvaccinated people, compared to only 3.7% in people who have been fully jabbed, which suggests that it pays to be inoculated to avoid being infected or reinfected.

11,780

One of Trump’s latest notorious numbers, with reference to the number of fake votes the Commander in Cheat wanted Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to "find" to overturn the election results won by his presidential opponent in the state.

In a math test, a high school teacher in Georgia challenged his students with the following questions:
1. Factorize the number 11,780.
2. Show that 11,780 divides 39¹⁰ – 1.

Jesus Christ

The only name that has the power to save, to heal, and to bless—the Name that is above all other names that can set people free from evil spirits and bondages and restore broken relationships.

Jesus Christ gives birth to the Christian community—the only one that exists for the sake of non-members—whose aim is to bring in the lost sheep that are “outside” God’s Kingdom.

Maskidity

The acidity or pH level of the inside of a mask after someone has worn it for a while.

Could the maskidity be used as a test to alert maskers that it’s time for them to change to a new mask?
