Top Ten Popular Posts at My BlogJob Site - One Year Anniversary! (Site Shut Down)

**ATTN Readers:  The BlogJob site shut down.  All links in this post have been replaced with substitute links or archived copies of blog posts.  Apologies.

Thanks to the nifty tool called "Facebook memories," I found this reminder about BlogJob, a blogging community that I joined in 2015.  FB memory links to the original blog post.

Updates to this post:  

• The quote and link to the review supplied in that post (dated 2014) are outdated.  In May 2016, the site owners stopped their Points Program, which was the primary monetary incentive for signing up.  The owners have continued to make the platform available free for the users.  

•  Also, I changed my BlogJob blog name and tagline to:

Blog Title: My Pain, Your Gain

Tagline:  Advice for newbies and others who want to work at home. Learn from my mistakes.

I still have a "job" blogging.  It's just not at BlogJob. LOL. 😉

The Book is For All People

Believers and non-believers have argued and debated about the facts presented in the Book aka the Bible, for thousands of years. Is it true or is it false? No consensus has ever been reached. But both groups agree that the scriptures are fascinating reading.

Writers Who Battled with Depression

A couple of years ago read an article titled "Depression: 10 Great Authors Who Battled with This Mental Illness"** . It was a very informative read. ...

Nimrod and the 'Gate of God'

If you come from a Judaeo-Christian background, then you might be familiar with the story of Babel because you were probably taught about it as a child. If you are unfamiliar with the biblical account, it tells of the time when everyone on earth all spoke the same language but God confused the languages.

Recycling My Facebook Memories: On This Day April 15, 2025

US History marker.  Recycling from Facebook.  Content posted a year ago (Apr 15, 2025).  Photo of the president of El Salvador's visit to the White House.

CONTEXT: Trump and his bosom buddy in El Salvador agreed to imprison those dangerous illegals, insisting that they were all members of a Venezuelan criminal gang.

Below are my comments on Facebook from a year ago.

The President of EL SALVADOR really made a good first impression on US, didn't he?

EL SALVADOR: A country where the leader brags about being “the coolest dictator” and building BIGGER PRISONS in order to liberate the people. ()

Shouldn't this country be on everyone's vacation travel bucket list?

Are you kidding? That's PREPOSTEROUS!

Is it any wonder that more people are leaving El Salvador than staying or arriving?

But if you count the deportees who get admitted to CECOT, maybe the calculations will change. Just play with the a bit.

EL SALVADOR? That name is ironic. Should be EL DIABLO!!

Just saving my thoughts from that day. Since that time, ICE has done much more than deport “dangerous illegals”. Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller was upset because “the numbers” for deportation were not IMPRESSIVE ENOUGH. So ICE agents were told to go into Home Depot and the strawberry fields. Agents were given guns and masks and allowed to escalate "enforcement" efforts.  The aggressive tactics resulted in the deaths of American citizens who protested ICE violence.

But it's OK now because ...

• Kristi Noem (the lady standing in the photo), who was in charge of ICE deportations and spent $200 million (of our tax dollars) advertising GOT FIRED. She was replaced by Markwayne Mullin, a man who admits he has “anger issues”. Stephen Miller still has his job and is living in guarded military housing. That means he can continue dropping “poison in the president's ears”.
• Pam Bondi, US Attorney General, GOT FIRED because she couldn't bury the Epstein files.

U.S. forces launched Operation Absolute Resolve and captured Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and his wife. Venezuelan Nobel Prize Winner María Corina Machado tried to “bribe” Trump to give her his support by offering him HER prize. The Nobel Committee shut that down and plainly stated the “Nobel Peace Prize cannot be revoked, shared, or transferred once awarded”. Yeah! That's right!

MEANWHILE,

POTUS Trump started a war with Iran, and now there are calls to invoke the 25^th Amendment (i.e., if a U.S. President dies, resigns, is removed, or is temporarily unable to perform their duties, ensuring the Vice President or another official can take over), AND actions have been taken to impeach SOW Pete Hegseth.

Melania Trump called a Press Conference to “distance” herself FROM Jeffrey Epstein and made it clear she was not a victim. But victims should be allowed to testify before Congress. (She was so noble. BARF!)

TODAY'S DATE:  April 15, 2026

Oh yeah! A lot happened in a year. I only wish it were a fictional soap opera show like “The West Wing”. Instead, it's a horrific blended rendition of George Orwell's “Animal Farm” AND “1984”.

Found this in my Facebook memories from three years ago. So worth remembering and re-sharing.  Oh the treasure we find in a public library.  There are treasures to be found even online. 😍

Also, January 4 is National Trivia Day 2017 in the USA. Got any trivia you would like to share? I shared this fascinating fact FOUR years ago on Facebook. 

"The original 1949 ENIAC computer occupied a full city block."

ENIAC - CHM Revolution

ENIACIn 1942, physicist John Mauchly proposed an all-electronic calculating machine. The U.S. Army, meanwhile, needed to calculate complex wartime ballistics tables. Proposal met patron.The result was ENIAC (Electronic Numerical Integrator And Computer), built between 1943 and 1945-the first large-scale computer to run at electronic speed without being slowed by any mechanical parts.
