The World Champion largest number, listed in the latest Guinness Book of Records, is an upper bound, derived by R. L. Graham, from a problem in a part of combinatorics called Ramsey theory. Graham’s number cannot be expressed using the conventional notation of powers, and powers of powers. If all the material in the universe were turned into pen and ink it would not be enough to write the number down. Consequently, this special notation, devised by Donald Knuth, is necessary. 3^3 means ‘3 cubed’, as it often does in computer printouts. 3^^3 means 3^(3^3), or 3^27, which is already...

TLANTA, GA. — While speaking at a public symposium on behalf of The Association of Donut Lovers, Georgia Governor Stacey Abrams claimed obesity was just numbers manufactured by her bathroom scale. "In the same way the patriarchy invented sonograms with fake heartbeat sounds to force women to fall in love with their unborn children against their will, bathroom scales were also created by the patriarchy to control women's bodies," said Abrams. "Obesity isn't real, but a system of oppression. It's time to dismantle it!" The incumbent governor's remarks are already being praised as "so brave" and "super scientific" by members...

On Friday’s broadcast of HBO’s “Real Time,” host Bill Maher praised the climate provisions in the Inflation Reduction Act but noted that climate activists have “thrown around these numbers forever.” And said that back in the 1990s “we were already going to die” if numbers reached levels they’ve already reached. Maher began by saying that President Joe Biden “just signed the biggest climate bill ever. Finally, we’re doing something about climate.”

On Thursday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “MTP Daily,” host Chuck Todd pushed back on President Joe Biden’s claim that the February inflation numbers are due to “Putin’s price hike” by saying that while the situation in Ukraine is a contributing factor, it can’t bear all the blame. Because February’s inflation numbers are “pretty much in line with what we’ve seen the last few months, even before the Russian invasion.”

ABC legal analyst Sunny Hostin said Monday on ABC’s “The View” that Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor’s incorrect number on pediatric COVID cases in hospitals was “not accurate.” However, Hostin said she was “correct” that there are more children in hospitals with COVID. Co-host Whoopi Goldberg said, “Supreme Court Justice Sotomayor got a couple of her statistics wrong.”

Still, it’s a dangerous world out there, and the enemies of the American people will be just as committed to destroying you in 2022 as they were in 2021. And that means more masking, more restrictions, and more vaccine mandates. Doctor Jane Ruby joins us for her first segment of the year. She says she has the receipts to show that vaccine toxicity varies by batch, and it’s possible to find out if the vaccine you’re being pressured to take is from one of the tainted batches. Jane Ruby joins us. (video at link below) https://rumble.com/vrvjfu-breaking-deadly-vax-lot-numbers-identified-still-in-circulation.html

States with statewide mask mandates in place are reporting higher coronavirus cases per capita than Florida, a target of the establishment media throughout the Chinese coronavirus pandemic. Illinois is just one of a handful of states that has a mask mandate in place. Gov. J.B. Pritzker (D) reinstituted the mandate in late August, which requires all Illinois residents older than two to wear a mask in indoor settings, regardless of vaccination status. However, that has not seemed to stop the virus from spreading.

CNBC editor Rick Santelli on Wednesday reacted to the October Consumer Price Index, showing consumer prices rose at their fastest rate in decades. Santelli pushed back against the notion that the inflation numbers were “temporary,” saying that “it doesn’t appear that way in the real world.” He warned that the “hot, hot, hot inflationary pressures” would be “very difficult for the fed to wash out of the system.

President Biden shrugged off his plummeting poll numbers by saying that’s not why he ran for president and spoke extensively about his meeting with Pope Francis, referring to the pontiff as a “truly genuine decent man” at a news conference Sunday following the G20 summit in Rome. Biden was asked about his comments claiming that America is back even as his favorability ratings are crashing, his legislative agenda is stalled in Congress and the tight gubernatorial race in Virginia between Democrat Terry McAuliffe and Republican Glenn Youngkin. “Because of the way they reacted,” Biden said on the final day of...

Vice President Kamala Harris has reportedly distanced herself from President Joe Biden, reducing the number of public appearances together since February. For instance, the Daily Mail reported Harris held 18 public appearances with Biden in February. On February 1, the president had an average approval rating of 53.4 percent and a disapproval rating of 34 percent, according to FiveThirtyEight’s polling average.

The statistics for the entirety of Donald Trump’s time in office are nearly all compiled. As we did for his predecessor four years ago, we present a final look at the numbers.

There was a lot of evidence of voter fraud in the 2020 election, despite what the mainstream media has been telling you. One glaring example occurred in Georgia: Newly discovered security footage from Georgia’s State Farm Arena showed dozens of ballot counters, media, and Republican observers leaving en masse at the same time from the ballot-counting area for Fulton County. After they left, a small remnant of about four workers began pulling trunks containing thousands of ballots from underneath a table with a long tablecloth and running them through machines. The footage supported claims from Republicans that they were told...

“Oh That We Had Meat to Eat!” (Numbers 11:4-6, 10-16, 24-29) “Oh that we had meat to eat!” Oh that we had meat we could afford to buy! Have you looked at the price of meat lately? I have. I was at the grocery store the other day, and the prices for all kinds of meat are very high right now: steak, ground beef, pork, even chicken. It confirmed what I read in a news article recently. Prices for meat have skyrocketed this year. Across the nation, beef prices have surged a whopping 12% over the last year. Pork prices...

At least 12,000 Americans have already died from COVID-19 this month, as the country inches through its latest surge in cases. But another worrying statistic is often cited to depict the dangers of this moment: The number of patients hospitalized with COVID-19 in the United States right now is as high as it has been since the beginning of February. It’s even worse in certain places: Some states, including Arkansas and Oregon, recently saw their COVID hospitalizations rise to higher levels than at any prior stage of the pandemic. But how much do those latter figures really tell us?

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention adjusted its COVID-19 tracking for the state of Florida on Tuesday as confusion over reporting practices sparked a feud between federal and state authorities. After the CDC website showed record high numbers for Sunday, Aug. 8, the Florida Department of Health balked, accusing the agency of folding several days of new cases into one. The gap was significant, with the CDC initially claiming there were 28,317 new cases on Sunday, while the Florida DOH puts that number at 15,319. On Tuesday the CDC adjusted its number down to 19,584.

President Joe Biden falsely claimed at the White House on Friday that 350 million Americans have been vaccinated, twice bungling his statistics after looking at his notes. “You know, we have roughly 350 million people vaccinated in the United States and billions around the world,” Biden said after looking at his note card provided by White House staff.

The mayor of Broward County, Fla., Steve Geller (D), said Monday that COVID-19 cases in his county are “doubling every 10 or 11 days,” CBS Miami reported. Geller reiterated the notion that the spike in virus cases is largely attributed to the unvaccinated. “The numbers are doubling every 10 or 11 days,” Geller said. “This is horrifying.” Geller also said that most intensive care hospital units are well over their capacity, saying that most medical facilities have to convert some areas that are not designed to be ICUs, CBS Miami reported.

President Joe Biden’s administration refused Friday to release the numbers of White House staff who had tested positive for the coronavirus. White House press secretary Jen Psaki argued the information was not relevant, as the staffers were vaccinated and experienced breakthrough infections and experienced asymptomatic or mild symptoms. “We’re in a very different place than we were six or seven months ago,” she said, downplaying the need to release the information. When pressed by a reporter why the White House would not release the numbers, Psaki replied, “Why do you need to have that information?” The reporter noted the information...
