That's the same guy I posted about a while back on his lavish life and private jet. He promise cures for cancer and lupus and more. He is one of the televangelists who tells people to donate and pray instead of going to the doctor, because cancer and all that are nothing but the works of Satan. I would find it funny if they weren't ruining people's lives.

True story from a couple weeks ago. A physician friend is (reading between the lines) flirting with a woman and she asks which vaccine she she get. He says, "It doesn't really matter, as long as it's not the one with the chip."

She says, "Oh, which one is that?"

He says, "The one from QAnon."

She says, "Oh, I haven't heard of that brand."

He decides they are not likely to hit it off long term and moves on from the conversation.

I just got back from taking a 13yo on her first backpacking trip. I really wanted to celebrate by watching Jeremiah Johnson, but then her dad came to pick her up and we only see each other every year or two so didn't want to take up the small amount of time we had watching a movie.
