United Again

 

We live in a country that is declining, and the people blame the other side for that decline.  Both sides claim they are righteous and correct, and the other side should be destroyed, censored, or in prison.

BOTH SIDES ARE THE PROBLEM

DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS

Why?

Because in 1966 we had the same problems today that we had then and neither side fixed anything although they promised they would.

The Problems:

1. racism
2. declining education
3. healthcare costs
4. drug addiction
5. wealth gap
6. poverty
7. middle class paying most of the taxes

Neither side fulfilled their promises...

Now, we have this huge national debt and rather than pay down our debt we should substantially increase it by GOING GREEN.

Going Green requires the whole world to participate otherwise it is meaningless and the whole world is not participating because of the COSTS involved.

Until we become UNITED AGAIN, we will not be able to solve any of our problems.

James Webb Space Telescope Validates Expansion

Through the lens of the Hubble and James Webb Space Telescopes, scientists are zeroing in on the Hubble Constant, a vital measure that indicates the universe’s expansion rate.

Recent studies, especially those involving the JWST, have provided more precise measurements, crucial for understanding the universe’s broader properties.

Understanding the Hubble Constant
In recent years, we’ve witnessed incredible advancements in our understanding of the universe, thanks to the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) and its successor, the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). Both telescopes have revolutionized astronomy, uncovering stunning discoveries. 

Among their shared focus has been refining the Hubble Constant, a key measurement that links the speed at which distant galaxies are moving away with their distances. A recent study confirms that JWST has validated earlier findings from HST, providing more precision in this critical measurement.     READ MORE...

Truth

Definition of Truth

1. the quality or state of being true.
2. that which is true or in accordance with fact or reality
3. a fact or belief that is accepted as true

Does not give us a very good definition does it?

• in accordance with fact or reality
• fact or belief
• state of being true

We read history books in school expecting that we are reading the truth only to find out later, that history truths are based upon who wins the wars and writes the truth.

We read the Bible expecting to read the truth only to find out later, that the Bible is full of inconsistencies like saying the universe is only 6000 years old.  The image of the Arab Jesus is Caucasian.

The closest that we come to truth is in a court of law where truth is only that which can be proven in a court of law.  Yet, here too, DNA testing proven that many males sent to prison were innocent.  That wasn't truth at all was it.

Or when OJ Simpson was found not guilty of committing murder in a criminal court but found guilty of murder in a civil court...

Which court ruling is an indication of TRUTH?

We believed our parents when they told us that Santa Clause, the Easter bunny, and the Tooth Fairy were truth.

Our govt denied the existence of UFOs for decades then admitted that they were TRUTH.

Politicians tell us they are telling us the truth all the time...  we later find out their comments were not truth at all.

And yet, our society revolves around truth and our perceptions of what truth really is or really is not.

Eerie Features on Mars

Dark shapes and bright spots on sand dunes in Mars’ North Pole region. (Harvard University's John A. Paulson School Of Engineering And Applied Sciences)

Though it's a cold, dead planet, Mars still has its own natural beauty about it. This image shows us something we'll never see on Earth.

Mars has only a thin, tenuous atmosphere, and most of it (95%) is carbon dioxide. When Martian winter arrives, CO2 freezes and forms a thick coating on the ground in the polar regions. It lies there dormant for months.


As spring approaches, temperatures gradually warm. Sunlight passes through the translucent frozen layer of CO2, warming the ground beneath it.     READ MORE...

USA Empire

 

Is the United States of America, a declining EMPIRE?

Some might say the answer to that question is YES...

Others might say NO...

Current Status of USA

• Weakened military
• Extreme political division
• Huge National Debt
• Infrastructure decay
• Declining education
• Declining healthcare
• Increasing drug addiction
• Increasing wealth gap
• Obesity and Poverty
• Worsening racism
• Global disrespect
• BRICS trying to destroy US $

EXAMPLE:  Our current President Donal Trump want to Make America Great Again (MAGA) however, the Democratic Party is doing everything in its power to keep that from happening.

Do the Democrats not want to make America great again, or do they just want to stop Trump from doing that, so they can do it?

Either way, that hurts this country.

We need to be on the same page, and we are not.

If you just look at the political fighting that is taking place between the Democrats and the Republicans, one might easily believe that the USA Empire is collapsing.
