  • Hollywood's Corin Nemec drops many many MANY truth bombs on Twitter and it's GLORIOUS

    Hollywood always seems mystical and magical to most Americans, including us. Then as we get older, we realize just like in the stories, all things magical come with a price. Though try as it might, Hollywood can’t get to everyone. Corin Nemec, or as we most fondly remember him as Dr. Jonas Quinn from Stargate SG-1, recently dropped a tweet full of truth bombs and a typo, which he fixed later, but mostly truth bombs. 🤣👍 Recap: Wuflu is man-made, laptop is real, Russian Collusion is not real, Intelligence community is corrupt, Boarder is wide open, Globalist Agenda for World...
  • Finally, A Solution To The Problem Of Intermittent Power Generation -- The "Virtual Power Plant"

    As discussed here many, many times, the big problem with generating electricity from wind and solar sources is that they are intermittent. Sometimes they work, and sometimes they don’t. And sometimes they don’t work for days on end. The times when both wind and sun fail at the same time for multiple days tend to be concentrated in the very coldest days of the winter. This poses a huge problem for central planners’ dreams of “net zero” electricity. Try to solve the problem with grid-scale batteries, and suddenly you’re talking wildly unaffordable costs in the trillions of dollars. Not to...

    Pray For The Peace of JerusalemLuke 9 Jesus Feeds the Five Thousand 10 When the apostles returned, they reported to Jesus what they had done. Then he took them with him and they withdrew by themselves to a town called Bethsaida, 11 but the crowds learned about it and followed him. He welcomed them and spoke to them about the kingdom of God, and healed those who needed healing. 12 Late in the afternoon the Twelve came to him and said, “Send the crowd away so they can go to the surrounding villages and countryside and find food and lodging,...

    The China Manned Space Agency (CMSE) last week put out a call for low-cost cargo haulage services to its space station. The announcement said Beijing wants cheap transportation to Tiangong to foster commercial space activity and enhance the space station's activities. The deadline for applications is July 15, so there's not much time left to sketch out the required spacecraft, launch vehicles and launch support. According to an accompanying technical guide, Beijing has set the price it's willing to pay at $17.1 million per metric ton of cargo. That's far less than the commercial services used by NASA to service...

    When Fox News unceremoniously and inexplicably ousted its most popular host Tucker Carlson last month, people naturally speculated as to why. Was it because of his reporting about the events of January 6, 2021? Or the corrupt relationship between Big Pharma and the media? Or was it a condition of the Dominion settlement with Fox as revealed this week by the O’Keefe Media Group? Whatever the reason, one thing was clear: Tucker spoke truth and had to be stopped. The clock started ticking the moment he questioned—perhaps one too many times—the institutional narratives meant to herd us into groupthink. That,...

    U.S.A. — In 1791, when the Bill of Rights was ratified, no permit was required for a citizen of the United States to carry arms, including loaded handguns, in nearly all public spaces. By 1986, only Vermont still had the right to carry loaded, concealed handguns without a permit. A significant number of states continued to maintain the right to carry loaded handguns openly, but the right was severely constrained in practice.In 1986 there were eight states which had “shall issue” laws for concealed carry permits. Those states were Connecticut, Georgia, Indiana, Maine, New Hampshire, North Dakota, South Dakota, and...
  • Florida law puts a brake on hiring of undocumented workers

    Miami (AFP) – Benjamin Perez cleans houses in Miami for a living. Like tens of thousands of others in the Florida workforce, he toils without legal papers. The future of this off-the-books labor force today sits in limbo due to a recently approved immigration law. Conservative Florida Governor Ron DeSantis on May 10 signed what he called the "strongest anti-illegal immigration bill in the nation" to bar undocumented workers from taking jobs in the southern US state. Starting July 1, businesses with 25 or more employees will be required to use the federal E-Verify system to check the legal status...

    FORT SNELLING, Minn., Saturday, May 16, 1863. Generally monotonous as is the face of the Western county, the contrast is striking when you launch upon the Upper Mississippi, with its tireless succession of lofty peaks and rounded heights, its labyrinth of deep valleys descending from the back country, its groves of stately trees along the bottom lands, and then for miles its mural bluffs of limestone, two hundred feet in height, like colossal ramparts, darkly reflected in the glassy surface beneath. The intersection of the valley of the Minnesota with that of the Mississippi, with Fort Snelling frowning down upon...
  • China zooms by Japan as world’s top auto exporter

    TOKYO – The Group of Seven (G7) spent the weekend calling for a pivot away from China’s sprawling supply chains and Beijing’s rising economic power. Yet new data on pivots in the automotive world, released as G7 leaders were signing their communique, reminded investors why it’s too late for that. China zoomed past Japan in the first three months of 2023 to become the world’s top auto exporter. Driving the milestone: a 58% year-on-year surge in China’s automobile exports in the January-March period to 1.07 million units. Adding insult to injury, the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers noted that the...

    The twelve apostles included "Matthew the tax-gatherer" (Matt. 10:3). God can use you despite your sinful past. I remember reading a notice in a local newspaper announcing the opening of a new evangelical church in our community. It gave the date and time of the first services, then added, "our special guest star will be . . ." and named a popular Christian celebrity. In its attempt to appeal to unbelievers or simply draw a large crowd, the church today commonly uses that kind of approach. Jesus, however, used a different approach. None of His disciples were famous at all....

    What cannot go on, will not go on and all the absurdities of the present will end with a bang not a whimper. A sign of a civilization in headlong decline is its embrace of absurdities. Unfortunately for the United States, we are witnessing an epidemic of nihilist nonsense. Here are a few examples: Reparations How could a dysfunctional state like California even contemplate $800 billion in reparations? The state currently faces a $31 billion annual deficit—and it’s climbing. Its $100 billion high-speed rail project is inert, a veritable Stonehenge of concrete monoliths with a foot of track. California’s income...
  • Millions are told to get ready to evacuate as one of the world's most dangerous volcanoes in Mexico is set to erupt with smoke, ash and molten rock already spewing into the sky grounding planes forcing nearby schools to close

    Mexican authorities on Sunday raised the warning level for the Popocatepetl volcano to one step below red alert as smoke, ash and molten rock spewed into the sky posing risks to aviation and far-flung communities below. The huge volcano that towers above Mexico City is considered one of the most dangerous in the world because some 25 million people live within a 60-mile radius. Sunday's increased alert level - to 'yellow phase three' - comes a day after two Mexico City airports temporarily halted operations due to falling ash, which also forced 11 villages to cancel school sessions.

    A top GOP donor who previously backed Donald Trump has announced that he will be supporting Ron DeSantis in the 2024 Election. Hal Lambert, founder and CEO of Texas-based Point Bridge Capital, said he wants to "do a lot to help DeSantis win" amid strong speculation the Florida governor will confirm his presidential campaign in the coming days. Lambert, who set up an exchange-traded fund named after the former president's Make America Great Again 2016 campaign slogan, MAGA ETF, and previously served on Trump's inaugural committee in 2016, told the New York Post that he decided to back DeSantis after...
  • How long does it takes a banana peel to decompose in landfill? | 2 Years

    ECO Family Life ^ | none given | none given
    Banana peel that ends up in regular landfill with other waste products including plastic can take up to 2 years to break down. Banana peels need the right temperature and combination of bacteria, fungi and oxygen to break down organically. Banana peels that are covered with garbage will break down anaerobically releasing methane into the atmosphere. Methane is a substance that adds to the ozone layer, capturing sunlight and heat in the earth. This causes the earth to heat up quicker. While one banana peel won’t make a lot of difference but millions of bananas thrown into landfill causes lots...
