Hollywood Celebrities

RECENTLY...

I have heard that a few Hollywood celebrities are going to do something terrible, if Trump wins the Presidency like:

• set themselves on fire
• shoot themselves in the head
• drive their car off a cliff
• leave the USA for Canada or Europe

My first reaction is::::>   WHO CARES???

But, the more I think about it, the more childish is their response but more than just childish, it is frigging immature...  and if it is immature how can anyone hold these people in HIGH ESTEEM.

I also think it is childish and immature to try and barter your celebrity status into a verbal weapon in the hopes of getting one's fans to stop you from doing what you claim that you are going to do.

This tells me you need...  ATTENTION!!!

Nobody is going to light themselves on fire, or shoot themselves, drive off a cliff in a car, or leave the country because of a Presidential term that is only going to last for FOUR YEARS.

It is actually sad when you think about it that we have GROWN ADULTS who think it is COOL and WISE to act like children or immature adults...  and, what's worse is because they need more attention than they are already getting or not getting as the case may be.

It's a shame these Hollywood celebrities never really grow up...

Humanoid Robots F.02

California-based robotics outfit Figure has today announced its second-generation humanoid robot, which is initially being aimed at production lines in commercial settings, but the company is promising a bipedal butler in our homes in the near future.

Figure was founded in 2022 by entrepreneur Brett Adcock – of Vettery and Archer Aviation – with the aim of bringing a "commercially viable general purpose humanoid robot" to market. 

We caught up with Adcock last year, publishing a series of three interview pieces, and have followed the progress of its first robot from first steps to learning and performing tasks to joining BMW's workforce, and then gaining OpenAI chattiness.      READ MORE...

Billy Joel - We Didn't Start The Fire (Historically Accurate Almanac) CO...

Let's Just SUPPOSE...

We are living in historic times people where the liberals are trying to censor the conservatives...

and...

where the liberals are trying to put their political opponent in prison on bogus charges...

and...

where there are over 10,000,000 illegal immigrants in this country already and thousands are continuing to enter the USA illegally...

and...

where humanoid robots with AI will in the next 2-3 years begin replacing American working in most all places of employment...

where the USA economy is on the verge of faltering and the USA government is on the verge of defaulting on the national debt...

and...

where the world because of the:

• Ukraine/Russia war
• Hamas & Iran/Israel war
• China potential invasion of Taiwan
• Iran & North Korea becoming nuclear powers
• global hatred of and for the USA

is on the brink of WORLD WAR THREE...

and...

where CHINA wants to remove the USA from its position of global leadership...

that our country (USA) and world as we know it is under enormous pressure and making the WRONG DECISION could be catastrophic for a majority of USA citizens.

This catastrophe could be in the areas of:

• inflation
• terrorism
• wars
• shortages
• unemployment
• racism
• crime and violence
• illegal drugs
• COVID-like sheltering in place

While many of us do not BELIEVE that any of this will actually take place, many experts believe that it will take place but not all at one time.

Can some or all of this impending disaster be PREVENTED???

Yes, it can with the right President.

• one who is kick-ass
• one who takes no shit off of foreign leaders
• one who believes in a strong military
• once who believes in peace through military force
• one who believes in the rule of law
• one who believes in capitalism
• one who believes in low taxes
• one who believes in legal immigration

Of course, it does not matter what I think....  it only matters what you think and how you vote in November...

Back to SCHOOL

 

I just heard on FOX News this morning that the cost of returning ONE CHILD back to public education is between $800 and $1,000.

This amount of money is typically due to the cost of clothes that the parents must buy or say they must buy for their child plus supplies and a backpack.

I find this rather amusing as well as ridiculous because my parents purchased me a couple of pair of jeans, 2-3 knit shirts depending upon the shape of my knit shirts from the previous year, a couple of long sleeved shirts, maybe a sweater, put the winter jacket I wore last year would be worn for a good 4-5 years.  I would get a pair of winter shoes, again depending upon the shape of the ones I wore the previous year.

I was in style, and no one ever made fun of the clothes I was wearing because all the other children and teenagers were wearing the same types of outfits.

WE HAVE CAUSED OURSELVES to spend more money because of wanting to have 5-10 new outfits for each year of school.

We must realize HOW STUPID AND FOOLISH this parental feeling is.

We are causing OURSELVES to go INTO DEBT...

My parents spend even more on clothes for me to go to college, but once there, I very seldom wore the new clothes that were purchased because only a few needed to be fashionable in college.

Wake up PARENTS and teach your children the power of being debt free by being frugal with your spending.

Your spending contributes to sustaining INFLATION...

China's Solar Panels

China is printing solar panels like newspapers: they’re not normal, and it’s bad news for America

Archimedes predicted the end of solar panels with this invention: 1,000 times more energy using only wood and water

America wants to open the Apocalypse mine: Energy for millennia, but 5 trillion would wipe us out


Renewable energy has always been an inexpensive and environmentally friendly option. However, the industry is continuously searching for more efficient elements. When it comes to solar panels, China is at the forefront with these that we present to you.

Silicon solar panels make a comeback: they outperform perovskite panels

Aiko, a developer and innovator of photovoltaic components, has unveiled the world’s most efficient solar panels, dubbed Comet 3N72e, from its New Infinite series, which has stood out for its performance.                 READ MORE...

Says It All...

 

 

Most, if not all of us, go through phases that many would classify as:  adolescence, teenager, young adult, adult, middle age, senior citizen, retired...  all of which takes us towards and into DEATH...   with death being our final phase which is pretty much instantaneously.  That is to say that while some of us slowing die, when we finally die the actual occurrence takes less than a second.

We know what happens before death but what happens after death?

• Nothing?
• Something, but we don't know what yet?
• We turn into a spirit
• We are born again into someone or something else

No one know for sure.  All we can do is speculate until we actually die ourselves and once that happens, we cannot communicate what we are experiencing, if anything, back to those who are still living.

What about those who die and come back to life?

Were they really dead in the first place?

We have been taught from the Bible that some people way back when, lived for 800-900 years before death finally consumed them.  If that is the case, why do we only live, on average, 80-100 years now?  What changed?

LOGICALLY (at least for me), if our universe is endless (which it seems to be) and still expanding BTW, then it seems out of place that human beings should only live 80-100 years...  actually, it seems rather meaningless when you think about it that our years are so severely limited.

So, is this then a justification or an explanation or proof that our life continues after death?

No matter how smart or how dumb you are or think that you are, the riddle of what happens after death cannot ever be solved until we die.
