55 years ago on July 20, 1969, Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong become the first men to set foot on the moon. The 363 feet tall Saturn V rocket that launched the Apollo 11 astronauts into space is still the tallest, heaviest, and most powerful rocket ever flown. Fully fueled for liftoff, the Saturn V weighed 2.8 million kilograms (6.2 million pounds), the weight of about 400 elephants. The rocket generated 34.5 million newtons (7.6 million pounds) of thrust at launch, creating more power than 85 Hoover Dams. Armstrong was the first to walk on the moon because he was closest to the door of the t ..read more

It took seventy years for the Soviet Empire to collapse and shrink into the current, autocratic state of Russia. Smaller, engaged in war, while bleeding away its manpower and wealth for a pointless war. In the unlikely event that Putin could pull some kind of rescue plan from his failing economy, Russia is an empire in rapid decline. Most of the western world would regard this as good news, but blinkered in their views, they cannot see a similar decline in the empire created by the USA. A great nation, built on strong constitutional and moral foundations is floundering and although its econo ..read more

Who Was Thomas Matthew Crooks ?

Thomas Matthew Crooks, who almost assassinated Donald Trump, had no big muscles or military training that a female Secret Service agent couldn’t handle for being 5’5”. He was not an “animal immigrant,” a term often used by those on the right to describe undocumented immigrants. He was not a Muslim fundamentalist terrorist who hated America for its freedom. It doesn’t seem he was inspired by Russia, China, Iran, Syria, or North Korea. He was not released from a mental institution in Africa to invade America. He was not an unqualified, unhappy Black DEI hire who didn’t deserve the position they ..read more

This interview President Trump just did gave me chills: “Former President Donald Trump has completely rewritten his convention speech in light of the assassination attempt against him on Saturday and will call on Thursday for a new effort at national unity. In an exclusive interview with the Washington Examiner a day after being hit by a sniper’s bullet, Trump said he wanted to take advantage of a historic moment and draw the country together. “The speech I was going to give on Thursday was going to be a humdinger,” he said, “Had this not happened, this would’ve been one of the most incredibl ..read more

 It’s already been a busy summer of travel — the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) reports that as of early June, seven of the agency’s 10 busiest travel days have happened in 2024 — so there’s a good chance you’ll find yourself filing through airport security sometime soon.  There are numerous things you’ll be allowed to bring with you through a TSA checkpoint. Sure, you may have to quickly chug the water you forgot to empty from your bottle and put your shampoo in one of those little travel containers, but you shouldn’t have any other problems.  When it ..read more

Supreme Court Declines To Weigh In On Whether Parents Can Record IEP Meetings

The U.S. Supreme Court says it will not hear arguments in a case looking at whether parents have the right to record meetings with their child’s school district about special education services. The high court declined to consider the matter known as Pitta v. Medeiros this week. Scott Pitta, a Massachusetts father, appealed to the Supreme Court earlier this year after lower courts decided that school officials could bar him from video recording a virtual meeting about his son J.J.’s individualized education program, or IEP. Worried that information had been left out of the minutes f ..read more

Why Does Support for The Palestinians Remain Strong in the US ?

If you’re like me you may not understand why so many in the US support the Palestinians after they killed more than 1,000 Jewish civilians and continue to hold 5 Americans hostages. I decided it might make a lot of sense to ask some questions and do some research. Since Palestine consists of BOTH the West Bank and Gaza I wondered why Palestinian civilians in Gaza didn’t go to the West Bank while Israel hunts down the terrorist. It turns out that the West Bank doesn’t want them any more than Jordan or Egypt. Neither Gaza or West Bank have been very hospitable to Christians over the years. The ..read more

History shows that as long as the Palestinian people keep voting for terrorist leaders (PLO, Hamas) they will not know peace. Through open immigration policies this is now a problem for the West. OTHER MUSLIM COUNTRIES WONT TAKE IN PALESTINIANS. BUT NOW BIDEN IS GOING TO TAKE THEM IN HERE! 57 Muslim countries’ foreign ministers met in Saudi Arabia today and voted upon taking Palestinian refugees to resolve the issue. The results are: 46 countries politely voted, “No” 11 countries voted non politely, “No Fucking Way ..read more
