The Enemy Within

 

Former President Donald Trump is perceived by the leaders of the Democrat Party to be the single most important THREAT to their very existence in the last FIFTY (50) YEARS.

WHY DO YOU SUPPOSE THAT IS?

Let's look at some of the evidence...

First - during his four-year presidency 2016-2020, the US Congress tried to IMPEACH him twice using evidence like the RUSSIAN HOAX and a FAKED RUSSIAN DOSSIER as their evidence.

Second - from 2021-2024, the BIDEN DOJ brought 91 BOGUS charges against Donald Trump which resulted in (at least so far) a 34-felony count verdict by a BIASED NEW YORK JURY.

Third - the judge overseeing the 34-FELONY COUNT VERDICT has postponed sentencing Donald Trump to prison because of the FEAR that action might result in him winning the 2024 Presidential Election.

Fourth - mainstream media has been writing almost DAILY ARTICLES condemning Donald Trump for one thing or another since he announced his Presidential Candidacy in 2015. 

Fifth - now in a recent statement by Donald Trump that he suspects there is a DEEP STATE in the USA that he calls THE ENEMY WITHIN, mainstream media and the WHITE HOUSE are saying that if Donald Trump becomes President, he will use the US MILITARY to DESTROY AMERICAN DEMOCRACY.

From my perspective (and the perspective of many others), the above five points are all the justification that we need TO BELIEVE that there is a DEEP STATE or an ENEMY WITHIN seeking to destroy Donald Trump.

The only reason that logically comes to mind when someone or some group wants to destroy an individual is that THERE IS A GREAT FEAR THIS MAN and his followers are going to take away their POWER and CONTROL.

BTW...

When one's successes/failures are looked upon as if they were a statistical normal distribution, one is going to have just as many FAILURES and one has SUCCESSES.

Mathematical Statistics is a FACT and is only disputed when one is IGNORANT of the subject and its outcomes.

Successes and Failures are the two tails of a NORMAL DISTRIBUTION in case you are wondering.

Our Universe is OLDER Than Originally Believed

In a groundbreaking discovery, the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has presented data that directly challenges our current understanding of the universe. For years, cosmologists have pegged the universe's age at approximately 13.8 billion years. Yet, the new JWST findings suggest that this may be a vast underestimation. But how has one telescope managed to disrupt such a long-held belief?


The universe's secrets are vast, but none has been as puzzling as the presence of 'impossible early galaxies'—so named due to their peculiar formation periods.


According to existing models, these galaxies, emerging during the cosmic dawn, roughly 500 to 800 million years post-big bang, shouldn't have evolved disks and bulges so quickly. "It's akin to seeing a toddler with the wisdom of an octogenarian," says a scientist, explaining the paradox.     READ MORE...

Don't Grow Old Physically

 

At 76 years of age, my advice to you is DON'T GROW OLD PHYSICALLY...

As absurd as that my sound, it is the truth.

Not growing old MENTALLY is a piece of cake compared to growing old PHYSICALLY...

I'm not talking about things like heart attacks, cancers, diabetes, or other illnesses...  I am talking about the physical construction of your body.

• Hearing loss
• Loss of eyesight
• Arthritis
• Spinal Stenosis
• Joint pain
• Loss of bone strength
• Easily bruised
• Severe muscle strain
• Torn Tendon/Ligaments

For the last three years, I have experienced spinal stenosis, rotator cuff tendon tears, knee tendon tears, large (and soar) bruising, hearing aids needed, disk fusions, and joint pain due to arthritis.

FORTUNATELY...  the ortho docs tell me it is only going to GET WORSE...   obviously tongue in cheek stated.

My wife who is 5 years younger is having problems with severe back arthritis, bulging disks, and hip issues.

I laugh at the TV commercial where this man says at the age of 90 and because he has taken this little pill that he is trying to sell that he has no problems...  He has no problems, not because of the pill, but because his was blessed with a unique body.

HOWEVER, there are pills that one can take to cover up (hide) the pain but that does not mean that the pain is gone...  nor does it mean that you will not get addiction to that pain pill...  addiction due to pain happens all the time.

So, if you are young, enjoy your life while you can because at some point in time your body will start to CRAP OUT ON YOU...

Understanding Depression

Depression has been an ongoing part of my life for over fifty years.  I have taken prescribed medication, sought out professional help, and found ways to simply deal with depression on my own.  I have never been medically diagnosed with any kind of bipolar disorder, and yet, I feel bipolar has been an integral part of my life.

I found the below article on the INTERNET and wanted to share it with those of you who want to take time to read it.

Depression is a complex and multifaceted condition that affects millions of people worldwide. It is characterized by a persistent feeling of sadness, loss of interest or pleasure in activities, and a variety of physical and emotional problems that can significantly impair a person's ability to function in daily life.

The symptoms of depression can vary widely from person to person, but they often include feelings of hopelessness, worthlessness, and helplessness. Physical symptoms may also be present, such as changes in appetite or sleep patterns, fatigue, and unexplained aches or pains. It's important to recognize that depression is not just a temporary state of sadness or a sign of weakness; it's a serious medical condition that requires understanding and treatment.

Depression can stem from a combination of genetic, biological, environmental, and psychological factors. Traumatic life events, such as the loss of a loved one, financial problems, or high stress, can trigger depression in some people, while others may experience it without any apparent cause.

Treatment for depression often involves a combination of medication and psychotherapy. Antidepressants can help to balance chemicals in the brain that affect mood and emotions, while therapy can assist individuals in coping with their symptoms, understanding underlying issues, and developing healthier thought patterns.

It's crucial for those suffering from depression to seek professional help. Early intervention can lead to better outcomes, and with the right support, most people with depression can improve their quality of life. If you or someone you know is struggling with depression, it's important to reach out to a healthcare provider for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.

For more information on depression, its symptoms, causes, and treatment options, you can refer to reputable sources such as the Mayo Clinic, Healthline, Cleveland Clinic, and WebMD. Remember, depression is treatable, and there is hope for recovery.

Hydrogen Cartridges

Toyota is showcasing a series of sustainable developments at the Japan Mobility Bizweek later this month – including its vision of a portable hydrogen cartridge future, which could apparently provide 'swappable' power for next-gen hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs).


Originally a project of Toyota’s mobility technology subsidiary Woven (formerly Woven Planet), the team produced a working prototype of a hydrogen cartridge back in 2022 but has since developed the idea further… and appears to be running with it.


The latest cartridges are lighter and easier to transport, with Toyota claiming the current iteration has been developed with the experience the company has gained in reducing the size and weight of the hydrogen tanks used in its fuel cell electric vehicles.     READ MORE...
