Age of EARTH
Earth is estimated to be 4.54 billion years old, plus or minus about 50 million years. Scientists have scoured the Earth searching for the oldest rocks to radiometrically date.
6,000 YEARS Versus 4.54 Billion YEARS
Something ain't right here... that is a significant amount of difference... and yet, the religious community says don't pay any attention to this discrepency, instead focus on the overall message that the Bible is trying to convey...
That's all fine and dandy but if the timeline is incorrect how much other stuff in the Bible is incorrect as well?
I understand that the books of the Bible were written by man, but theoretically those words and those men were inspired by God... or so our religious leaders claim...
Another issue that has always bothers me about the Bible and the creation of mankind is the Adam and Eve story... and the fact that all of mankind came from those two individuals... a male and female...
Well, if that is true, then Adam and Eve committed INCEST in order to grow the population.
Church leaders want us to overlook the INCEST that was created and focus on the bigger picture...
WHY?
Are all the illnesses that we have today, the result of the INCEST that was committed by Adam and Eve?
Makes you wonder, doesn't it?

Life in America 2000 to Present
Blacks think Whites should be held accountable for the slavery that took place from 1776 (Independence from GB) until 1865 (End of Civil War) regardless of whether or not your ancestors were involved... you should pay because you are WHITE...
Police brutality targets BLACKS and those who are poor and cannot afford high powered legal advice...
K-12 Education begins to take a tumble because educators are more concerned with earning more money and doing less in the classroom that teaching students...
K-12 Education begins to focus on passing tests rather than teaching students how to retain knowledge, think for themselves, and problem solve...
Vehicle drivers regardless of age or gender collectively decided that they no longer want to obey the posted speed limits anywhere...
Global Billionaires began to exert their influence and power over domestic politics and resources as well as international politics and global resources...
China began building up its economy and military so that by 2030 they could dominate the world and take power away from the USA...
Liberal, progressives, socialists laid the foundation to take over the Democratic Party so that their policies and beliefs would start to control the United States a decade later and continue through 2030 when the USA would be forever changed and could not change back...
The STUPID ASSED AMERICAN PUBLIC DID NOTHING TO PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING...
We are now in 2023 (over two decades later) and America has changed as we are becoming more and more WOKE (a grammatically incorrect concept but slang for the BLACKS).
We are the only really powerful country that is doing away with gasoline...
We are the only really powerful country that is diverting money to social programs rather than to the military...
We are the only really powerful country that attempting to go completely green...
CHINA, believe it or not, owns most of the natural resources that the USA needs to build solar panels and electric batteries for cars... The more we go solar and electric, the wealthier CHINA becomes...
GO FIGURE THE SMARTNESS OF THAT DECISION...
Sweatshops Powering ChatGPT
On January 18, Time magazine published revelations that alarmed if not necessarily surprised many who work in Artificial Intelligence. The news concerned ChatGPT, an advanced AI chatbot that is both hailed as one of the most intelligent AI systems built to date and feared as a new frontier in potential plagiarism and the erosion of craft in writing.
Many had wondered how ChatGPT, which stands for Chat Generative Pre-trained Transformer, had improved upon earlier versions of this technology that would quickly descend into hate speech. The answer came in the Time magazine piece: dozens of Kenyan workers were paid less than $2 per hour to process an endless amount of violent and hateful content in order to make a system primarily marketed to Western users safer.
It should be clear to anyone paying attention that our current paradigm of digitalisation has a labour problem. We have and are pivoting away from the ideal of an open internet built around communities of shared interests to one that is dominated by the commercial prerogatives of a handful of companies located in specific geographies.
In this model, large companies maximise extraction and accumulation for their owners at the expense not just of their workers but also of the users. Users are sold the lie that they are participating in a community, but the more dominant these corporations become, the more egregious the unequal power between the owners and the users is.
“Community” increasingly means that ordinary people absorb the moral and the social costs of the unchecked growth of these companies, while their owners absorb the profit and the acclaim. And a critical mass of underpaid labour is contracted under the most tenuous conditions that are legally possible to sustain the illusion of a better internet. READ MORE...

India Challenges China on Smartphones
Buying a new smartphone was a bit of a mission for Deepa Aswani, who works in marketing in Mumbai.
"I am very particular about what phone I buy. I did not want to invest too much," she says.
After two months of deliberation, she chose the OnePlus 10R, which in a sale cost her $400 (£329), a reasonable price for a smartphone, but still a significant sum in any country, and particularly in a developing one like India.
"The idea was to buy a phone which did not make a hole in my pocket and had good features. I am happy with the phone I have purchased," she says.
Ms Aswani's new smartphone was made by a Chinese firm in India - a common arrangement these days.
But as recently as 2014, the majority of phones sold in India would have been imported.
That has all changed in recent years. In 2022 almost all phones sold in India were made there as well, according to the India Cellular and Electronics Association (ICEA).
Many of those phones would have been made by overseas firms with operations in India, like Taiwan's Foxconn or South Korea's Samsung.
But the number of home-grown firms is increasing rapidly. READ MORE...
It Ain't Just the NEWS
North
East
West
South
This is what we call NEWS... and, right now we have the following media outlets:
- CNN
- ABC
- MSNBC
- CBS
- NPR
- FOX
And yet, FOX News is the only media outlet that is willing to cover the illegal immigration at our southern border. My question is WHY?
These news outlets were formed for the sole purpose of reporting the news but they refuse to report some of the news... especially if it goes against the liberal points of view.
Are these news outlets CENSORING the news from the American public so that they will not know the TRUTH???
The management of these media outlets, claim that what is happening at the southern border is not worth reporting... They have decided what is or is not important... not the general public... this is insulting...
I used to be a fan of CNN and CBS but a few years ago when I was exercising at the local gym, walking on the treadmill, Fox news was on the monitor... When I got home and turned on CBS, they were not reporting the news that I had just watched. For the next couple of weeks, I analyzed the reporting and found that certain stories were not being reported by CNN and CBS.
So I switched to FOX News...
Similarly, I used to be a liberal Democrat but switched to a conservative liberal when I realized I had very little in common with the Progressive Dems that were controlling the party. The USA, in my opinion, is not ready for progressive idealogy that leans towards socialism and communism....
We need to maintain a strong economy, a strong military, and a strong educational system that prepares students to survive not just go to college... robots will be replacing jobs and therefore a college education will be as useless as teats on a wild boar.
