Meltdown

 

I have been flip-flopping back and forth between "X", Truth Social, and BLUESKY and what I have found on BLUESKY defies one's imagination.

BLUESKY Liberals are making the following claims:

• All conservatives are MAGAs
• All Magas are:
• racists 
• felons
• white supremacists
• ignorant
• fascists
• stupid
• rapists
• wealthy
• Superior
• Elites
• liars
• all Magas will destroy democracy
• put certain Americans in jail
• change the constitution
• will destroy the environment

The more I chat with them and try to explain their errors, I am told that I am too stupid to live and the only way to deal with MAGAS is through violence.

They claim that Liberals are in the USA for the sole reason of putting MAGA conservatives in their place.

When I suggest they should introspect and change what did not work, I am told that they will change nothing because all the voters WERE WRONG and their vote should not be trusted.

They believe that the Supreme Court is controlled by MAGAs and that its rulings should be ignored.

They believe that even though all the charges were dismissed against Trump that he is still guilty of INSURRECTION.  If the Court of Appeals overturns his felony convictions that they will still see him as a CONVICTED FELON who ignorant people voted to be President.

It is easy to see why they lost.

Product Differentiation

 

This is an easy concept to understand.  Say you want to buy a car, so you look at an American car and a Japanese car, do a little research and find out the Japanese car has minimal maintenance, cheaper maintenance, a higher resale value, and longer durability.

So, you buy the Japanese car or look at all Japanese cars and find out which one is better.

Product Differentiation.

BUT, suppose you were applying for employment and were in competition with 100 other applicants.  How would you differentiate yourself from them?

• The name of your college might help
• Who you know might help
• Your high grades WILL NOT help

So, what else will help?

• Your ability to communicate (written & verbal)
• Your ability to work in a team
• Your ability to problem solves
• Your ability to drill down

But, what if everyone else has those same skills?  What then?

• Your experience
• Your ability to get results
• Your ability to cut costs

SO, everyone has those same skills as well.  What then?

Specific knowledge, skills, abilities

MORE EXPERIENCE

Regardless of the employer, you have got to set yourself aside from the rest of the applicants.

If you cannot differentiate yourself from another applicant, you will never get that special job unless your dad owns the company, or you are the spouse of one of their children.

Most of the time it is experience, then achieving results which is adding value.

Lost Military Base Under Ice

NASA has shared an image of a defunct Cold War-era military base hidden deep underneath the frigid Greenland Ice Sheet.

As NASA cryospheric scientist Chad Greene flew over the Arctic plateau in April 2024, around 150 miles east of Pituffik Space Base in northern Greenland, he snapped an image from the window of the Gulfstream III aircraft.

At the same time, the plane's radar instrument picked up a ping from deep below the ice, which turned out to be the remains of Camp Century, a Cold War base buried 100 feet below the surface of the frozen island.

"We were looking for the bed of the ice and out pops Camp Century," Alex Gardner, also a cryospheric scientist at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), said in a statement.     READ MORE...

America Needs to be United Again

 

Trump will elect his cabinet and for the most part 80-90% of the people he wanted will get confirmed by the Senate.

Liberals are expecting Trump to fail, not wanting to realize or understand, that if Trump fails, it hurts the USA more...  I say more because Trump is a one term President and has nothing to prove.

• The size of government will be reduced
• Oil product will begin again big time
• Illegal immigrants will be removes
• Prices will come down

Anything else will simply be icing on the cake.

Trump's legal problems will go away and in 2029, I doubt there will be very many prosecutors that will want to prosecute him anymore.

In all likelihood, the Democrats will win the Presidency back and will undo everything that Trump did (just like Biden did before) and will try to turn the country back into the same place that it was before Trump.

How will any of that benefit the USA or its citizens?

This is how the USA will be until our country realizes that it needs to be united.

What could cause the USA to want to become united?

• A leader
• WWIII
• The voters
• Threat from China
• Pressure from the world

Einstein Vindicated

Albert Einstein’s prediction about how gravity behaves has been tested on a cosmic scale. Albert Einstein’s prediction about how gravity behaves has been supported by an international team of researchers who studied how the force acts on cosmic scales.

Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) researchers found that the way galaxies cluster is consistent with our standard model of gravity and the predictions from Einstein’s theory of General Relativity.

A complex analysis of the first year of data from DESI provides one of the most stringent tests yet of General Relativity and how gravity behaves at cosmic scales.

Looking at galaxies and how they cluster throughout time reveals how cosmic structure grows, which lets DESI test theories of modified gravity – an alternative explanation for our universe’s accelerating expansion.

DESI is managed by the US Department of Energy’s (DOE) Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab). UK involvement in DESI includes the University of Portsmouth, Durham University, and UCL as full member institutions, together with individual researchers at the universities of Cambridge, Edinburgh, St Andrews, Sussex, and Warwick.    READ MORE...
