Gaslighting Democrats
Gaslighters — people who try to control others through manipulation — will often accuse you of behaviors that they are engaged in themselves. This is a classic manipulation tactic.
Gaslighting tactics include:
- Blatantly lying
- Splitting — pitting you against a friend or family member
- Working to align others against you
- Telling others that you are crazy, unstable, or manipulative
- Lying about things they said and did, even though you swear those things happened
- Telling you they don’t like your family and friends — but for vague reasons
Many gaslighters:
- Cheat in relationships, yet accuse their victims of cheating
- Accuse their victims of being addicts, when they are the true addicts
- Accuse their victims of manipulation, when they are the ones who manipulate
Gaslighters will accuse others of these actions even when there is direct evidence that they are engaging in the same behaviors.

- for his reckless spending on COVID
- for his policies that caused inflation
- for his policies that increased illegal immigration
Giant Particle Accelerator
GENEVA (AFP) — Europe’s CERN laboratory has taken its first steps toward building a huge new particle accelerator that would eclipse its Large Hadron Collider — and hopes to see light at the end of the tunnel.
The Future Circular Collider (FCC) particle smasher would be more than triple the length of the LHC, already the world’s largest and most powerful particle collider, constructed in the hope of revealing secrets about how the universe works.
The FCC would form a new circular tunnel under France and Switzerland, 91 kilometers (56.5 miles) long and about five meters (16 feet) in diameter.
“The goal of the FCC is to push the energy and intensity frontiers of particle colliders, with the aim of reaching collision energies of 100 tera electron volts, in the search for new physics,” CERN says.
The tunnel would pass under the Geneva region and its namesake lake in Switzerland, and loop around to the south near the picturesque French town of Annecy.
Eight technical and scientific sites would be built on the surface, with seven in France and one in Geneva, CERN engineer Antoine Mayoux told reporters this week. READ MORE...

Fed Coin Tracks Everyone
Rich Dad Poor Dad author Robert Kiyosaki warns that George Orwell’s novel 1984 could quickly become a reality when the US goes ahead with launching a central bank digital currency (CBDC).
In a new episode of The Rich Dad Channel, Kiyosaki says that a “FedCoin,” or a Federal Reserve-issued CBDC, will allow the authorities to become omnipresent and surveil Americans’ every move to make sure they are behaving.
“The big concern with FedCoin, the CBDC, is that we lose our privacy. That they’ll track us, they’ll track every move because they’ll know everything we’re spending money on, what we spend it on, who we give it to and all these, so it becomes George Orwell’s 1984. Big Brother will watch you via our money and that’s the problem with the central bank digital currency, or the Fed Coin…
People like me panic. I said, ‘Oh my God, they’re gonna track me. I don’t want them to know how I’m spending my money. it’s none of their business.’
But now with blockchain and all this, they can track anything they want, so our privacy goes. That’s why when George Gammon says Orwellian, he’s talking about 1984. Big Brother’s going to watch you. That’s where we’re heading.”
Kiyosaki’s comments come as the Federal Reserve explores the benefits and risks of a CBDC. During a speech on Tuesday, Federal Reserve Governor Michelle Bowman says the potential digital dollar should incorporate privacy considerations into its design. She says there should be proper measures to safeguard the privacy of businesses and individuals.
Says Bowman,
“In thinking about the implications of CBDC and privacy, we must also consider the central role that money plays in our daily lives, and the risk that a CBDC would provide not only a window into, but potentially an impediment to, the freedom Americans enjoy in choosing how money and resources are used and invested.” READ MORE...
CHURCHILLISMS
NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES YOU READ THE
THOUGHTFUL QUOTES OF THIS GREAT PERSON,
THEY SEEM TO BECOME MORE TRUE OVER TIME.
I HOPE OUR CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN ARE LISTENING
Love & Marriage... then Roommates
After two marriages, I have come to the conclusion that more often than not, a male and a female have no business getting married, having children, or should live together and adopt children, UNLESS they are not in love and just see the arrangement as roommates.
Males and females are too different to marry and keep the flames of attraction burning for 30 years or more without having another reason to stay together, like children or finanial security, or health security.
Males and females tend to grow apart after a few years, let's say ten, as they begin to develop their own interests... likes and dislikes... and, when different likes and dislikes appear, then the two people have automatically stepped into the world of roommates.
It is interesting to note here that, a married couple may start out in the same room reading different books together but gradually over time, they end up reading those books in different locations. Why do you think that is? Because they still love each other?
Another issue to look for is the words that are being used when they talk to each other... Or, pointing out things that were done wrong in an effort to help the other person become better... but, it is only better in the eyes of the one who is criticising, never the other person. Those comments may seem and sound trivial but over 5-10 years, the other person starts to believe that there just might be something wrong with them. If there is something wrong, why does the other person remain? Surely, it is not because of love, so what is it?
More often than not, these types of problems start with the male as they are constantly wanting to have sex with other females to prove they are still macho. However, it is happening with more and more females... not so much that they want another husband or roommate but simply they are dissatisfied with what they have. Once you are dissatisfied, no effort is put forth to show you care about the other person, unless there is a health crisis... then the guilt of feeling that way kicks in.
Most of the time this happens in retirement, when the couple finally has an opportunity to spend more time together only to find out they no longer have anything in common.
It is estimated that this happened to 80-90% of the married couples... don't forget that our divorce rate among first time marriages is 50% and has remain that high for the last 10 years. This divorce rate signifies that males and females do not have what it takes to stay together after they get married.
I feel like I should have already experienced my second divorce.
Hydrogen Fuel Cell Technology
Canadian and British-based company First Hydrogen has unveiled a new concept for a zero-emission recreational vehicle (RV) that uses fuel cell technology. Developed in partnership with German engineering services provider EDAG Group, the RV concept illustrates how First Hydrogen explores how fuel cell electric technology could be applied to larger vehicles.
One of the primary benefits of using fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) for RVs is their ability to cover larger ranges and manage heavier payloads than equivalent battery electric vehicles (BEVs).
RVs often travel long distances, often into wilderness areas far from refueling or charging infrastructure. Therefore, the long-range capability is especially appealing, and refueling an FCEV takes mere minutes, approximately the same amount of time as refueling a petrol or diesel vehicle.
In contrast, recharging electric vehicles can take hours, restricting the freedom that van life demands. FCEVs are also well-suited for running auxiliary loads such as cookers and water boilers, often required in recreational vehicles.
Using a fuel cell powertrain would positively affect the environment by reducing harmful emissions and noise compared to a traditional ICE. Additionally, an FCEV could travel longer distances, carry heavier payloads, and refuel in a matter of minutes, much like a gas or diesel vehicle.
First Hydrogen has not disclosed the estimated range for its Gen 2 vehicle, but the first-generation van is designed to cover between 249 and 373 miles (400 and 600 km) on a single refueling, which takes only five minutes.
First Hydrogen recently unveiled images of its Gen 2 LCV concept, which features off-road lighting, a front winch, and what appears to be a solar panel on the roof. Although no roof rack is visible in the images, the spacious interior could accommodate large gear such as a kayak, and the vehicle could be quickly converted into a comfortable camping site.
