Putin Vows to go Nuclear


Earlier this month, Putin warned the West that Moscow could supply arms to other countries to strike Western targets in retaliation for allowing Ukraine to fire long-range missiles supplied by NATO countries’ military forces to hit targets inside Russia.

His latest announcement on Friday is seen as the Russian leader’s latest attempt to respond to the escalated conflict with the West after signing a comprehensive strategic partnership pact during his landmark Pyongyang visit aimed at finding new ways to defend non-Western countries against US hegemony.

Putin vowed that his nation would produce new intermediate-range nuclear-capable missiles, and then decide whether to deploy them within range of NATO nations in Europe, as well as US ally countries in Asia.        READ MORE...

War with China

 

According to the CATO Institute...  

“If conflict does break out, U.S. officials should not be sanguine about how it would end. Tamping or reversing Chinese aggression in the Western Pacific could require a massive use of force.

The consequences of such a conflict would spread globally, with much greater impact than the Russo‐​Ukraine war. Imagine Taiwanese industry devastated from combat or conquest.

At the end, defeat for the U.S. and its allies would be possible if not likely. In recent years U.S. wargames have generally shown Beijing as the victor. The best case, after a fashion, appears to be an indecisive and thus lengthy war. Concluded one analysis: “The overarching takeaway from participants in the war game: If China invades Taiwan, the Indo‐​Pacific region will plunge into a broad, drawn‐​out war that could include direct attacks on the U.S., including Hawaii and potentially the continental United States.”
Circa 2022

While this was written only two years ago, if anything, the situation has worsened under the leadership of Joe Biden since defense spending has been substantially reduced in all areas of our military and each branch has been unable to fill its quotas.

Given the severity of the situation and the anticipated outcome of a war with China, it would behoove the peoples of the USA to elect a President that has the mental equity and the physical endurance to stand up to China. 

Presently, Taiwan and Japan are preparing themselves for an inevitable war with China since Biden global posture has been substantially reduced due to the Afghanistan withdrawal, the Russia Ukraine war, and the war between Israel, Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran.

Many people in the USA, especially LIBERALS, cannot imagine ever again going to war after what happened to us on 9/11...  this mindset has caused a liberal strategy to be imposed on our military that in essence says:  DO NOT PREPARE FOR WAR - IT WILL NOT HAPPEN AGAIN FOR US CITIZENS...

This is a foolish attitude to take.

It is doubtful that the next war will be nuclear as most of the global countries know that a nuclear war will be the end of civilization as we know it, even though some believe it is possible for a few to survive.

The next war will be a conventional war that will be spearheaded by ATTACK DRONES, remotely operated vehicles, and possibly a few experimental soldier robots.  Ground soldiers will still do a majority of the fighting and airplanes will drop bombs, missiles will be launch from land and submarines, and naval vessels will do battle with other naval vessels.

Russia and China are AGREESIVE, WAR-LIKE nations with a history of trying to take over land belonging to other nations.  Both countries hate the USA, especially China that wants to take the leadership status away from the USA so that they can dominate the world like we used to do.

SHOWING WEAKNESS OR COMPLACENCY WILL BE OUR DOWNFALL...

Asteroid Larger than Giza Pyramid

A skyscraper-size asteroid discovered two weeks ago will zoom between Earth and the moon on Saturday (June 29). At its closest approach, the space rock will pass within roughly 184,000 miles (295,000 kilometers) of our planet — about three-quarters the average distance between Earth and the moon.


The asteroid, named 2024 MK, is estimated to measure about 480 feet (146 meters) across, which is greater than the height of a 40-story building or the Great Pyramid of Giza.


During its closest approach, it will be traveling at roughly 21,000 mph (34,000 km/h), according to NASA. Astronomers in South Africa discovered the asteroid on June 16.        READ MORE...

Democrats in Panic Mode


 Based upon the results and the fallout from the first debate, the Dems don't know whether to shit or go blind...  nothing seems to be working out according to plan...  as the DOJ attacks Trump with bogus charges and biased convictions, his popularity soars...  and mainstream liberal media can no longer hide Biden's dementia like behavior.


What to do?


WELL...  one thing is for sure, the Republicans could not pour PISS out of a BOOT with directions written on the HEEL...  that's for sure.


At best, the GOP knows how to talk SLOW and SMOOTH, preside over hearings, fight amongst themselves over meaningless issues, and ACCOMPLISH VERY LITTLE TO NOTHING.


It seems like Donald Trump is the only one who ever gets any damn thing done as he entertains crowds, defends himself in court, and rants about how he is being persecuted, not realizing it is frigging mouth that gets him into trouble.


This election seems to be the worst election in the history of the USA that I can recall, where neither candidate is actually FIT FOR OFFICE...  and, when we go to the polls in November, a majority of us will more than likely either vote for the lesser of the two evils or cast a vote against the other side.


When we vote in November, we've got two questions to ask ourselves:

  • What is best for the USA?
  • What is best for the WORLD?

This second question is important in that, many experts are saying that the current global environment is priming itself for a THIRD WORLD WAR...  and much of that priming depends on our next President...  that is to say that a strong one will postpone WWIII.

Do we (YOU) agree with that assessment?
Do you think the USA can operate independent of what is going on in the rest of the world?
Should we focus more on climate change that what is going on in the rest of the world?

YES... it is true that the Democrats are in panic mode...  but is it because of the USA they feel this way or because they will lose power and control...

SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT.

HUNGRY?

July 4, 1776 - July 4, 2024 (248 Years)

Why do we celebrate on July 4? July 4 marks the anniversary of when Congress, comprised of delegates from the United States' original 13 colonies, signed the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776. The document declared the nation's independence from Great Britain.

Had we not won the war against Great Britain all of our leaders, especially the Continental Congress members would have been thrown into prison in London and more than likely hung from the neck until dead.  They would have all be charged with TREASON.

Our new country started as a result of us breaking laws and committing treason...  think about that...


What this goes to show you, the reader, is that you can break the law and do all sorts of other things including committing treason as long as in the end, your actions result in you being correct, justified, or legally innocent.

History shows that what we did in 1776 ultimately proved beneficial for the entire world, look at WWI and WWII for some of that proof.  We have also spent billions over the years to help other countries who are or were in desperate need of help.  We have also been the primary reason why COMMUNISM has not taken over the world.

In 1860, our Civil War almost destroyed our fledging country but again we survived.  There is no telling what might have happened to us if we had a Northern and Southern USA.  One might believe that over the years, our nation would have come back together, but since that did not happen, no one knows for sure.

The Declaration of Independence lead to a war with Great Britain, and to the creation of the US Constitution and the Bill of Rights which are the first ten amendments to that constitution.  It is our Bill of Rights that separates us from the rest of the world and makes us incredibly unique.  It is that uniqueness that is envied and hated by the rest of the world.

NO OTHER COUNTRY IN THE WORLD HAS THE FREEDOMS THAT CITIZENS OF THE USA HAVE...

So, understand how special these 4th of July celebrations really is and make sure that your children understand that as well.

Pillars of Creation


In 1995, the Hubble Space Telescope released images of the Pillars of Creation — stunning effervescent clouds of interstellar dust and gas, the place where stars are born.


Now, combining data from Hubble and the James Webb Space Telescope, NASA has released a gorgeous 3D visualization of the cosmic structures in both visible and infrared light.


"By flying past and amongst the pillars, viewers experience their three-dimensional structure and see how they look different in the Hubble visible-light view versus the Webb infrared-light view," principal visualization scientist Frank Summers said in a statement.


"The contrast helps them understand why we have more than one space telescope to observe different aspects of the same object," he continue


The Pillars of Creation, which lie about 5,700 light-years from Earth, are composed of cool molecular hydrogen and dust. Due to strong winds and radiation from young nearby hot stars, the pillars are starting to get stripped of their contents. Long, finger-like structures can be seen emerging from the top of the pillars, which are larger than our own solar system.


Inside these structures, hydrogen and dust is gravitationally collapsing into new, infant stars. These new stars will add to the continued dispersion of materials within the pillars. The tallest of the pillars spans 3 light-years from top to bottom — three-quarters of the distance between the sun and our closest star.         READ MORE...
