The Wisdom of Rabbi Block

It’s Always Something Else

Thu, 07 May 2026 14:00:00 -0400

The Talmud has a concept that says we live in a world of falsehoods! The Rabbis weren’t being pessimistic. They were being realistic. In this world the surface and the truth are rarely the same thing. They are teaching that our job is to dig.

We need to be alert about what we see and hear. Often what we hear or see is not communication. It is really positioning. It’s about creating a feeling not conveying a meaning.

Let’s play the game “Its Always Something Else”

A Good Vaccine Protects Against the Hate Virus

Fri, 01 May 2026 15:45:00 -0400

Hints, hacks, and tricks you can use to avoid being drawn into hating. Pundits and influencers use subtle and not so subtle ways to lure us into joining their campaign of hate. Here is my vaccine to inoculate you so that you won’t be infected with hate.

Jesus’s Teachings on War

Thu, 16 Apr 2026 09:15:00 -0400

Jesus was a first-century Jewish teacher living under Roman military occupation. When he spoke about war and violence, he wasn’t speaking in a vacuum — he was in deep conversation with the Jewish tradition that formed him. Tonight we’ll look at his words and their Jewish roots.

Jesus’s Teachings on War with Jewish Parallels

Good Evening America April 8 Remember the Holocaust

Wed, 08 Apr 2026 23:00:00 -0400

The Holocaust serves as a reminder of happens when the government scapegoats a group and uses masks police to prevent dissent. Six million Jews and millions of other people were murdered by Hitler. The Nazi government legitimacy executed not only Jews but anyone who dissented or protested.

The History of Palestine Cannot be Written into History

Sat, 28 Mar 2026 11:45:00 -0400

Can you change what actually happened just by saying something different happened?

The answer, of course, is no. You can’t. And yet — people try. All the time. And when it comes to Jewish history and the history of Israel, the effort to rewrite the past is not just persistent. It’s organized.

Palestine is not an ancient Arab name for an Arab homeland!

Good Evening America March 18 WWIII

Thu, 19 Mar 2026 09:00:00 -0400

Historically and colloquially we refer to the Korean “War” and the Vietnam “war” as “wars”. They were not, Korea was a “police action” and Vietnam was a Presidential decision based on The Gulf of Tonkin Resolution. Only the Congress can declare war.

WWIII has started, just undeclared!

Good Evening America March 11 Authority in Judaism

Thu, 12 Mar 2026 07:00:00 -0400

Most religions have someone that can make official statements about the religion. They can be someone with global authority like The Pope or the leader of a small flock. Regardless of the size of the group their statements are binding on members. in Judaism no such person exists. The Rabbi is a teacher and their authority rests on their ability to teach.

Good Evening America March 4: Iran vs The World

Thu, 05 Mar 2026 07:45:00 -0400

The war continues to expand. We no longer can question Iran’s motives or intentions. Iran wanted to dominate the Middle East and then became a player on the world stage. For those of us not engaged in the war how do we keep our balance and our spiritual connection with the universe? These are the questions that dominate the discussion.

Iran, Israel, the United States, and War!

Good Evening America Feb 26 American Jews are not Zionists

Thu, 26 Feb 2026 09:30:00 -0400

Do not equate Zionism with Judaism. Zionism is a political movement that advocated for a Jewish homeland. Israel is now a country which means that Zionism has accomplished its goal. I disagree with much of Israel’s political decisions. Judaism is a religion not a political movement.

Zionism is political, Judaism is a religion.

Good Evening America Feb 18

Wed, 18 Feb 2026 22:00:00 -0400

Israel is one step away from Annexing the West Bank. Not a good idea. The Talmud is not a book of Jewish Law, it is Rabbinic commentary on the Mishnah. Let’s stop putting down other religions in the goal to elevate our own. Scared Literature is Truth and it is not true. These are some of topics on this show.

No one has a monopoly on the truth!

Good Evening America Feb 11

Thu, 12 Feb 2026 08:15:00 -0400

The questions this week focused on Talmud and Jewish practices. One viewer continued to ask me to stop talking about politics and talk about religion. Actually this was exactly what I was doing. Religion is about doing and acting, turning prayer into action, and living your beliefs. The sermon on the Mount, the teachings of the Hebrew Prophets, the teachings of Muhammad, the 8 fold path, the Red Road, etc are all about doing the right thing.

We Will Listen and We Will Do!

Good Evening America Jan 28

Thu, 29 Jan 2026 08:30:00 -0400

The questions during this show are more about Judaism than Israeli politics. A few antisemitic remarks and a few foolish comments and they were far and in between. There were some repeat questions, however most were new. This week’s audience was interested in the spiritual side of Judaism and how Jews view other religions.

Random Musings

Thu, 18 Dec 2025 16:45:00 -0400

I started using TikTok Live Studio last night and did not use it effectively. So I decided to use it today to practice how to make it work for me. I had great participation for going live at a random time.

Good Questions Answered

You Harvest What You Plant

Thu, 18 Dec 2025 08:15:00 -0400

St. Paul in his letter to the people of Galicia (Galatians 6:7)

states so eloquently “as ye sow, so shall ye reap”. Actions have consequences. Politicians from local governments to the President have sown the seeds of hate. The massacres and killings we are experiencing are the harvest.

Plant hate harvest hate!

Merry Christmas Joyous Chanukah

Thu, 11 Dec 2025 13:30:00 -0400

There is no war on Christmas, there is no war on saying “Merry Christmas”. Many companies and individuals want to be courteous and so they ask their employees to say “happy holidays”! And there are many Christian denominations that don’t celebrate Christmas.

I am not insulted if you wish me a Merry Christmas!

You Are Doing it Wrong

Thu, 27 Nov 2025 14:00:00 -0400

According to the influencers on social media everything you do is wrong! Just ignore this nonsense. Unless We are doing something dangerous we are just hanging our clothes, making our beds or not, storing whatever in a way that works for us.

No likes for anyone who is telling me my religion is wrong.

Fake Nostalgia The Myth of the Judeo—Christian Tradition

Thu, 20 Nov 2025 18:30:00 -0400

Let’s put aside the history of how the Judeo-Christian developed and changed and realize that it is time for a change. “There is a time for everything under the heavens” and now is the time to recognize that there are as many ways to unite with God as there are blades of grass on the fairway. We are all God’s children and no one religion has a monopoly.

We all don’t need to have the same religion to make America Great!

Hate is A Brain Virus

Thu, 13 Nov 2025 17:15:00 -0400

People need to be taught to hate otherwise we might hate the wrong people! Hate has become mainstream and is a guaranteed way to get votes, make money, or get viewers.

Torah is Truth & it is not True

Thu, 23 Oct 2025 15:15:00 -0400

We frequently spend so much time and effort trying to prove that the events in the Torah actually happened that we miss the truth! The Torah is a vehicle to teach Truth. It is not a factual diary of events.

The Truth is taught through stories, parables, and metaphors.

The Missing Gaza Piece

Wed, 15 Oct 2025 21:45:00 -0400

Colonialism is alive and well. After Israel and Hamas signed the agreement a meeting was held chaired by the United States and Egypt. Three of the most necessary, important, and significant groups were not included. The representatives of the people most affected were not present.

Recognizing the right of the State of Israel to exist goes hand in hand with a free and independent Palestine.

A Yom Kippur Soliloquy

Wed, 01 Oct 2025 13:30:00 -0400

I will not be on TikTok live tonight at 8. The fast on Yom Kippur reminds us to have prayer and action. In Judaism faith, prayer, and ritual are there to guide us to proper action. Faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by good deeds and action is hollow and a mockery of God’s teachings.

The Parables of Block the Rabbi

Thu, 18 Sep 2025 03:45:00 -0400

Judaism uses Midrash to understand and explain Jewish teachings. It consists of parables, allegories, and stories none of them are true in the sense that they actually happened. They are literary devices to help us understand the teachings. Midrash is not unique to Judaism all religions use “stories “ to teach. Jesus is one of the most famous individuals who used parables to teach.

When do we look at each other and say: “Dayenu, it is sufficient, I have enough to be satisfied and happy”. How many men, women, children have to die before I say Dayenu, enough is enough. How many material things do I need to have before I say Dayenu, it is enough for me!

Let’s shift our focus from world problems that we cannot solve to the things we see locally that we can solve. Israel is a country making decisions that I don’t agree with nor condone. Russia is a country that invaded a sovereign nation. Genicide is currently occurring in Sudan, specifically targeting the Masalit people in the Darfur region. Make your views known about what is going on internationally and then act locally.

Politicians and clergy want to divide us by teaching that they have the true religion and the keys to heaven while the rest of us are going to hell! This is just not true.

Make America Good Again Step 11 Live Freedom from Religion

Thu, 24 Jul 2025 08:00:00 -0400

“Religious Freedom”

Sacred scriptures in each tradition contain principles that can be interpreted to support religious tolerance, freedom of conscience, and respect for diverse paths to truth.

Freedom of belief and worship
Freedom to convert or not convert
Respect for other traditions
Non-coercion in matters of faith

I. Judaism

Judaism is not a proselytizing religion. It emphasizes mutual respect and ethical pluralism, accepting that non-Jews can live righteous lives within their own traditions.

II. Christianity

While missionary in outlook, Christianity’s core message emphasizes free choice and personal conviction. Religious freedom is consistent with respecting the dignity of every person.

III. Islam

Islam upholds religious freedom as a divine principle, while also maintaining its truth claims. Historically, Islamic societies recognized and protected religious minorities through legal frameworks like dhimma.

IV. Buddhism

Buddhism strongly supports freedom of conscience, rational inquiry, and tolerance toward other paths. Coercion is fundamentally incompatible with its teachings.

V. Hinduism

Hinduism celebrates diversity of belief and practice as spiritually legitimate. Religious freedom is seen as a natural reflection of cosmic pluralism

Make America Good Again Step 10 LiVe Mother Earth

Thu, 17 Jul 2025 07:45:00 -0400

Our responsibility for caring for the world stems from our understanding of being stewards of God's creation. This resonates with the Christian concept of dominion as responsible care, the Islamic understanding of humans as Khalifah with environmental responsibilities, the Hindu reverence for nature, and the Buddhist principle of interconnectedness that demands we protect the delicate balance of life.

Mother Earth is our home planet!

Make America Good Again Step 9 Live Learning

Thu, 03 Jul 2025 03:15:00 -0400

The pursuit of knowledge and intellectual exchange has always been valued within all of the traditions we have been exploring. Jews are called the people of the book, constantly learning and interpreting. Christianity has a rich intellectual history and kept learning a live through out the dark ages.. Islam places a profound emphasis on the seeking of knowledge. Hinduism elevates Jnana, the path of knowledge, as a path to liberation. And Buddhist wisdom (Prajna) is essential for understanding the true nature of reality.

Banning books and blocking learning is not a religious value

Wed, 11 Jun 2025 10:00:00 -0400

JustIce based giving finds resonance in most traditions. While the mechanisms may differ, the underlying principle of ensuring the well-being of the community and addressing systemic inequalities is present. Christian teachings on social justice, Islamic Zakat as a right of the poor, Hindu Dana aimed at social balance, and Buddhist Dana as a means of reducing suffering all point to this shared concern.

Make America Good Again Step 7 Live Compassion

Thu, 05 Jun 2025 08:45:00 -0400

Acts of kindness and compassion is a universal language of the human heart. Judaism elevates chesed as a cornerstone of our faith. Christian love (agape) is defined by selfless care. Islamic Rahmah, divine compassion, inspires acts of mercy. Hindu teachings overflow with the importance of Daya and Karuna. And Buddhist practice centers on the cultivation of Metta and Karuna for

While the mechanisms may differ, the underlying principle of ensuring the well-being of the community and addressing systemic inequalities is present.

Make America Good Again Step 6 Live Respect for All

Thu, 29 May 2025 07:30:00 -0400

Respect for others is grounded in the belief that all humans are created in the image of God. Respect is inseparable from love and humility. Every person is worthy of care and dignity. The Quran and Hadith repeatedly emphasize the importance of caring for orphans, widows, the poor, and the needy. Respect for others arises from recognizing the interconnectedness of all beings. It is cultivated through mindfulness, compassion, and non-harming. The concept of Karma suggests that actions towards others have consequences, reinforcing the importance of treating all beings with respect.

Wed, 14 May 2025 21:15:00 -0400

Fairness refers to treating others with impartiality, justice, and equity. It encompasses truthfulness, just judgment, and ethical reciprocity. Though each religion frames fairness within its own metaphysical worldview, all uphold it as a central moral and spiritual value.

Make America Good Again Step 4 Pursue Peace

Thu, 08 May 2025 09:00:00 -0400

Respectful Listening and Seeking Peace

These two interconnected values—respectful listening and peace-seeking—are essential for meaningful relationships, community harmony, and spiritual growth. Across the world’s major religions, sacred texts emphasize these principles as divine attributes and human obligations.

Naming calling and mocking are not spiritual values

Make America Good Again Step 3 Be Honest

Thu, 01 May 2025 14:00:00 -0400

The unwavering commitment to honesty is another thread woven through the human experience. Our Ten Commandments stand as a testament to its importance. Christians, too, hold truthfulness as a divine mandate. Islam elevates Sidq, truthfulness, as a core virtue. Hinduism enshrines Satya as a fundamental ethical restraint. And the Buddhist path of Right Speech calls for communication that is truthful, kind, and constructive.

The Apocalypse Is Now

Wed, 15 Jan 2025 23:00:00 -0400

Don’t be misled the “uncovering” has begun. The apocalypse means the uncovering of God’s plan. When the end of time arrives and the Messiah announces the establishment of God’s kingdom everyone will be saved and redeemed. Not only 360,000, not only those who accept the savior of their choice, not only those who believe what I believe, everyone will be united with God.

Redemption is for all people.

Moses, Jesus, and even God warned against following a false prophet. The criteria are simple compare the person’s actions to “The Ten Commandments”, “The Sermon on the Mount”, or The 613 Commandments.

The Holy Scriptures clearly define the False Prophet

“The Enemy Within”

Who Went to Christopher Columbus’s Bar Mitzvah?

Sun, 13 Oct 2024 15:15:00 -0400

The evidence was overwhelming that Columbus was Jewish, unfortunately it was “an inconvenient truth”. New DNA evidence makes denial impossible. Chris was a Jew searching for a place for his Jewish people to settle.

Free Will & 613 Commandments

Thu, 19 Sep 2024 14:00:00 -0400

The commandments are not really commandments

You Can’t Handle Having a Choice

Thu, 12 Sep 2024 23:45:00 -0400

The Talmud presents us with Rabbinic discussion of the Mishnah, the oral law.

Choose wisely

The Talmud is not Divine

Thu, 12 Sep 2024 16:30:00 -0400

The Talmud wasn’t revealed by God to a select few.. Every discussion is recorded with both the minority and majority arguments. No one tells us what to do.

The Jewish people are the authority not any single person.

Let’s Debate the Debate

Thu, 12 Sep 2024 13:15:00 -0400

The Talmud is the recorded debates of the Rabbis concerning the Oral Laws. The rules were quite simple quote your sources. Every source is fact checked by everyone else. No name calling, insulting others, and no making up facts and sources.

Let’s debate the Talmudic way!

And God Spoke part 2

Tue, 03 Sep 2024 14:00:00 -0400

There is a lot to learn about proper behavior. The Rabbis in the Talmud considered every time God spoke to be a commandment. Is this true?

Be kind

The 613 Commandments

Thu, 15 Aug 2024 14:00:00 -0400

You are familiar with the Ten Commandments, what about the 613 commandments? Every time God spoke it was a commandment.

Not just 10, but 613 commandments.

There is a Higher Power

Sat, 10 Aug 2024 14:00:00 -0400

The first of the 10 Commandments is that there is a Higher Power. Instead of using politics to justify, influence, and force your concept of God on others let’s agree that your religion is not the best and only one! There are as many ways to understand God as there are blades of grass on the fairway.

Yahway, Jehovah, יהיה is

No Other Gods

Thu, 08 Aug 2024 14:00:00 -0400

In the 2nd commandment of the 10 we are warned of the dangers of worshipping presidential candidates as a God. The One doesn’t make up stuff and tell lies just to get elected.

Thu, 04 Jul 2024 14:00:00 -0400

Don’t let either the Democrats or the Republicans take away our freedoms. Be careful for whom you vote in 2025!

Masters of Misdirection

Tue, 02 Jul 2024 14:00:00 -0400

We need to stop letting ourselves be misdirected by politicians. Posting the big Ten and reading the Bible will sort itself out. Our country faces real problems in politics and the economy.

Democrats & Republicans solve the real problems and making up issues to divide us!

Murder is not Okay

Thu, 27 Jun 2024 14:00:00 -0400

The command in Hebrew Scriptures is “You shall not murder”. The word kill crept in when the Latin was translated into English. This is not the only place were a mistranslation changes the meaning of the text.

Use a new modem translation.

Live The Big Ten

Sun, 23 Jun 2024 14:00:00 -0400

Posting signs rarely if ever changes human behavior. And students has never been charged with signs. Living the values and ideals that you want students to emulate is the only way that works.

Politicians are you violating the Seventh Commandment?

Life is Short Ignore the 7th Commandmet

Fri, 21 Jun 2024 14:00:00 -0400

The is a website dedicated to violating the 7th commandment. With over 60 million subscribers worldwide they vacillate this violation. If a past and possibly the next president of the United States has violated this and other commandments why put the 10 in schools?

Politicians regularly violate the 7th commandment.

Make it Better

Fri, 14 Jun 2024 23:30:00 -0400

Making the world a better place means doing unto others as you would like others to do to you. Or the reverse that which is hateful to you do not do to others.

Do you really want me to treat you the way you treat others?

The Big Ten

Fri, 14 Jun 2024 14:00:00 -0400

The 10 Commandments provide us with a way to evaluate politicians. Don’t compare what they say, compare their actions to the 10.

Which presidential candidate has violated the most commandments?

A Message for Democrats and Republicans

Thu, 06 Jun 2024 22:00:00 -0400

The spiritual and the material can be united. With moral political leadership Heaven and Earth can be fused. But this will never happen until both political parties give us candidates who follow the Ten Commandments.

Stop being a political cult follower

Whose 10?

Thu, 06 Jun 2024 14:00:00 -0400

Politicians are in favor of posting the 10 commandments in schools and other buildings. I agree as long as we post the times that they violated them.

Politicians and the Ten Commandments

The Chief Rabbi of Western Fairfax County Virginia

Sun, 02 Jun 2024 14:00:00 -0400

Judaism does not have a central authority that can declare who is Jewish and who isn’t. Nor is there anyone who can declare what is Jewish and what isn’t.

The Jewish Community decides what is Jewish

Being A Leader Means Being Responsible

Tue, 19 Mar 2024 14:00:00 -0400

Uncle Ben paraphrased the Talmud when he told Peter: “That with great power comes great responsibility”

Israel and Hamas are not being responsible!

Just Because You Can Should You?

Mon, 18 Mar 2024 14:00:00 -0400

You and I can choose to do a lot of different things, but should we? The same rule applies to politicians and government as well. It is not always a good idea to pass laws or make statements just because you can.

Hamas sacrificed Palestinians for what?

Be Afraid, Details to Follow

Thu, 14 Mar 2024 14:00:00 -0400

Fear is a great tool to get a following. Politicians and clergy use it for power and control. Don’t become a victim of a fear-monger.

Aliens are coming to get you!

The Undocumented Are Coming For You

Fri, 08 Mar 2024 14:00:00 -0400

Fear is all around us and when humans lived in the wilderness fear kept us alive. To stay safe now we need to monitor our fear. Our own fears are being used by clergy and politicians to control us.

Muslims, Jews, and the Undocumented Are not to be feared

Performance Art

Thu, 29 Feb 2024 14:00:00 -0400

Getting the attention of your audience has been a challenge since Biblical days. In order to sell a product, get the vote, or teach you need people to listen to you. The Biblical Hebrew prophets used theatrics called performance art a technique that we see in every form of media.

Getting our attention is an art!

Just One of the People

Fri, 16 Feb 2024 10:00:00 -0400

To be a Zionist with a small “z” means being a spiritual, cultural zionist. From 1890 until 1907 Ahad Ha’Am fought against Herzl’s political Zionism. Ahad Ha’Am supported Arab nationalism and the establishment of a Palestine.

You can’t have Jewish nationalism without Arab nationalism.

God, Torah, Gaza, and Israel

Thu, 08 Feb 2024 14:00:00 -0400

Judaism rests on God, Torah, and Israel, territorial expansion is not a basic value of Judaism. Reform Judaism has made support of Israel primary and ignored God and Torah. It is time to stop equating Judaism with unlimited support for Israel.

Judaism includes God and Torah.

You Are Religious

Thu, 01 Feb 2024 14:00:00 -0400

People who don’t belong to an organized religion are just as religious as those who do belong. Stop this NONES nonsense! Being religious is not about being a member of a club.

You relate to the universe your way!

Occupy Gaza, A Bad Idea

Sun, 28 Jan 2024 15:00:00 -0400

In the history of bad political ideas occupying captured territory or a country is at the top of list of bad ideas. Netanyahu and the Knesset have the opportunity not to make a really bad decision.

How is the occupation of the West Bank going?

Thu, 25 Jan 2024 18:15:00 -0400

What is happening in the war in Gaza has become a disaster for both Israel and the Palestinians. It is not accomplishing except death and destruction. Listen to my alternative.

Sun, 31 Dec 2023 14:00:00 -0400

We can be happy and have a happy new year.

Thanksgiving is A Jewish Holiday

Thu, 23 Nov 2023 14:00:00 -0400

The Puritans fashioned Thanksgiving after the Biblical holiday of Sukkot (the Festival of Booths). The Jewish people have been observing Sukkot for thousands of years. Let’s spend Thanksgiving being grateful for our freedoms and bounty. This is the perfect holiday to acknowledge that America was not an empty land when it was colonized by Europeans.

Thanksgiving, A Time To Share

The Rabbi Block Way Or The Wrong Way

Thu, 16 Nov 2023 14:00:00 -0400

There is no central authority in Judaism to dictate what you must believe to be Jewish. Listen to me on TikTok and watch “TheRabbiandI” on YouTube and decide if my understanding of Judaism resonates with you.

Israel, Hamas, War, and Jewish Beliefs are discussed.

Israel Does Not Speak for All Jews

Tue, 14 Nov 2023 14:00:00 -0400

Israel is a sovereign nation designed as a Jewish homeland. Since Judaism doesn’t have a central authority no country or person can define Jewish beliefs or practices.

Israel Is A Nation That Must Defend Itself

America A Land of Many Faiths

Sat, 11 Nov 2023 14:00:00 -0400

Contrary to the beliefs of many The United States is not a Christian country. Those who claim that America has no place for any religion that is not their version of Christianity are destroying our country. Make no mistake even if you are a Christian you may not be the right kind of Christian!And you are no more welcome than the rest of us.

Christian Americans Welcome, Everyone Else Leave

Since Everyone is Wrong No One is Right

Tue, 31 Oct 2023 14:00:00 -0400

Naked Religion

Thu, 05 Oct 2023 14:00:00 -0400

Every religion in the known universe is having an internal struggle to define itself as authentic. In reality neither side of the debate is authentic. Like barnacles on a ship humans have added unnecessary complexity and rules that will sink the ship. Strip away the added nonsense and explore your religion as created.

Forgiving Difficult People

Fri, 22 Sep 2023 14:00:00 -0400

Forgiveness is about you, not about the person you are forgiving. Forgiveness is way to let go and move on. It does not mean that you accept or approve what they did.

Forgive so that you can move on!

God Will Forgive You, Will You Forgive Others?

Naked Religion is The True Religion

Israel Is Not Acting Jewish

Sun, 13 Aug 2023 14:00:00 -0400

The State of Israel was established as a homeland for all Jews and to promote Jewish values. Unfortunately Israel is doing neither. The rights of the Palestinians and non Orthodox Jews are not protected.

Israel is to Protect Both Palestinians and All Jews

The Jewish View of Abortion

Wed, 09 Aug 2023 14:00:00 -0400

Abortion is a medical procedure that should be available to those who choose to have one. When life begins has not be resolved by science. Every religion in the known universe has a different time. If your religion prohibits abortion then don’t have one.

Abortion is a medical procedure

The Messiah is God’s Messenger

Fri, 04 Aug 2023 14:00:00 -0400

No organized religion owns the Messiah. Each of us understands the Messiah according to our own understanding. Even though the coming of the Messiah is delayed I wait patiently.

No religion owns the Messiah

Apply Ockham’s Razor

Thu, 03 Aug 2023 14:00:00 -0400

Conspiracy Theorists Hate William of Ockham

Tue, 01 Aug 2023 14:00:00 -0400

The simplest explanation is usually the correct explanation is known as Ockham’s razor. It is no wonder that those who promote that the moon landing is a fake, Kennedy was assonated by a world conspiracy , and that the world is flat don’t want anyone to question their complicated explanations.

There is a world conspiracy behind everything

Evil In The World

Thu, 27 Jul 2023 14:00:00 -0400
