Your Choice

Each morning, I awake about 7:00/7:30 am, take my Thyroid medication, feed out three cats, make myself a cup of coffee using my Keurig coffee maker and my McCafe coffee pod, and then watch FOX News until about 10:00/11:00 am.

Previously, I was watching CBS and/or CNN for my news but when I went to an exercise center in 2015 (when I retired) I found out that neither one of those news media outlets were sharing all the information - they were censoring what they wanted to share with me and what they did not want to share.

Needless to say...  THAT PISSED ME OFF!!!

I am not a political party person but I am a person who wants to hear all the news (good and bad) so that I can make up my own mind what I want to believe and what I don't want to believe.

No one should do that for me - I am no longer living at home with my parents.

In 2015, I was 67, had worked for 45 years, and had an undergraduate as well as a graduate degree and had the mental capacity to make my own decisions.

Today (2024), obviously I am still retired, older, and no longer watching mainstream media news outlets.

However, if that is your mentality and desire, then you should do what you want to do, not what they want you to do...  however, if you are not capable of making up your own mind, then listen to these stations and do what they tell you to do or THINK...

Otherwise, you can finally grow up and do all that shit for yourself.

YOUR CHOICE PEOPLE!!!

A joint investigation from the specialist outlet NK Pro and the James Martin Center for Nonproliferation at the Middlebury Institute found that a decades-old building near Pyongyang was the location of a secret manufacturing operation of transporter erector launchers (TELs).

It is thought that the production had been ongoing since November 2023, or possibly even earlier.

The launchers are believed to be designed for Hwasong-11D short-range ballistic missiles (SRBM) because they measure around 8.5 meters in length and 3 meters in width, according to the outlet.

Satellite imagery from Planet Labs reportedly shows around 49 thought-to-be TELs parked on a sports field at the Pyongyang building between November 8 and 9 last year. Some were reportedly removed about a week later, but 45 remained and weren't moved until early March. Some other vehicles spotted adjacent to the building were also moved in April.

No further possible TEL sightings were visible on the imagery, but the outlet noted there were long narrow objects laid out across several areas, suggesting the facility may still in have been use in June.                  READ MORE...

Expert Opinions

 

I remember when I worked in the education industry, if you received your PhD prior to someone else, then your opinion was supported over another PhD.

This process negates the Truth...  or, to pacify both sides, it could negate the truth.

Now...

we have liberal economists and conservative economists who present their opinions as to the way our economy should evolve, always supporting party views over the opposing party's views.

SO...  

who is correct?

SO...

who is telling the truth?

SO...

who do we believe?

We, the general public have little to no economic knowledge and/or experience therefore we must rely on EXPERTS to advise us as to what we should think.

How do we know...  I mean really know what to believe if these expert economists may or may not be telling us the truth but just following the pressures exerted by their parties?

We don't know for sure, do we?

Some economic experts say that the government should spend money to stimulate the economy while other economic experts say that when the government spends money to stimulate the economy, that it only serves to stimulate INFLATION.

Do we believe the PhD who received their degree the earliest?

Do we believe the PhD whose message sounds logical and makes sense?

Do we believe the liberal expert economist, or do we believe the conservative expert economist?

And then what happens if we are wrong and have to wait another four years before we can make change???

How do we protect ourselves from being played the IGNORANT FOOL...

The HIGGS Particle Keeps us Here

Although our universe may seem stable, having existed for a whopping 13.7 billion years, several experiments suggest that it is at risk—walking on the edge of a very dangerous cliff. And it's all down to the instability of a single fundamental particle: the Higgs boson.


In new research by me and my colleagues, just accepted for publication in Physical Letters B, we show that some models of the early universe, those which involve objects called light primordial black holes, are unlikely to be right because they would have triggered the Higgs boson to end the cosmos by now.

The Higgs boson is responsible for the mass and interactions of all the particles we know of. That's because particle masses are a consequence of elementary particles interacting with a field, dubbed the Higgs field. Because the Higgs boson exists, we know that the field exists.        READ MORE...
