The UN voted for a Palestinian bid to become a member of the UN. 143 countries voted Yes. 9 countries voted Nay, USA included, 25 countries didn't vote. Now, this vote doesn't mean anything, knowing that the UN has voted time and time again for acceptance of the Palestine state since September 1974, and 50 years later nothing has changed. Some people say the pen is stronger than the sword. Maybe, but the pen is a lot slower and has more prejudices. less

Yes, I know healthcare is unpredictable, and insurances just want money, while the pharmaceutical companies kill us all after taking our money.

Dr. Abdellah developed the educational material for helping patients with drug addiction, AIDS, and hospice. Dr. Abdellah had a large role in instituting home healthcare. She was instrumental for the development of DRGs, the system that is used by Medicare. Admiral Abdellah, an almost 40-year Commissioned Officer in the U.S. Public Health Service from 1949 - 1989 was the first woman and nurse Deputy Surgeon General from 1982 to 1989.

I hope everyone is comfortable with this truth because it is not going to change. Okay. I have your attention. After Hurricane Maria ravaged one of the USA's territories, which 2,975 USA citizens died, the USA's congress started to "argue" the dollar amount for the aid towards the small colony. The aid bill was signed two years later. This is where it gets very interesting. The hurricane was in 2017. The USA's congress approved, yet with opposition from the president at the time, $69 billion for aid. As of today, Sunday, April 28th, 2024, the colony has ONLY received $20 billion to aid in the island's recovery. As a matter of fact, 69 representatives and 16 senators voted Nay for the aid. All were republican. Now, for the strange part. Two months after Katrina, the president of the USA, signed a $110 billion aid package after it passed Congress with a 97-0 vote. I say all this because the USA just passed a $95 Billion aid bill, yet again, the hurricane-torn colony has only received $20 billion for AID. The president, during 2017-2019, held the aid for months after it was released. The president, during 2017-2019, temporarily suspended the Jones Act (act that doesn't allow any maritime vessel not from the USA unload cargo on the island), seven days after the hurricane. Four cargo ships, 2 with food, 1 with gas, and 1 with medicine from Venezuela waited 4 days four miles of the colonies capital for permission to port on the colony. My grandmother died during those seven days. The colony didn't have gas for the generators in the hospital where she was. She was in intensive care. In conclusion, the USA is a warmongering country, and the evidence is that the USA would rather give aid to war rather than save lives. less

This concentration camps or Prisoner of War Temporary Enclosures were the last in line for food and medical treatment. As a matter of fact, the Red Cross was given permission to monitor the "POWs" at the same time these camps were closing. About 2-3 million Nazi "disarmed enemy forces" were held here. The number of deaths in these USA and Allied-built camps vary by country. The lowest death statistic is 3,000, and the highest is 1 million German Nazi soldiers died in the 16 "Rheinwiesenlager" in 7 months.

On March 1st, 1954, four individuals walked into the USA's Capitol and shot 5 (3 Dem 2 Rep) USA's representatives. All the representatives survived. The individuals were captured alive.
As a matter of fact, you probably won't find this in any US history book, but the perpetrators dropped their guns before they were surrounded. The only female in the group was heard yelling, "yo no vengo a matar a nadie, sino morir por mi patria."
Rough English interpretation, "I didn't come here to kill anyone, I came to die for my land."
This was in retaliation to the 4 USA's massacre against the Puertorican people. Two of these massacres were conducted by bombing runs and strafing from P-47s, which destroyed 70% of the cities. One of these bombing massacres conducted by the USA's military against civilians was a year before the forced USA citizenship for Puertoricans.
The USA's government kept bombing a small inhabited island of the coast of Puerto Rico until 2003, from 1941. If you want to see one of the clearest beaches in the world, visit Culebra Puerto Rico. Be warned, in some areas you could still see unexploded ammunition around the island.

Technology has changed, and with it, the ways scientists search for asteroids, or should I say potentially hazardous asteroids. With high-power computers, AI, and simulations scientists are able to pin point asteroid's position according to the earth's movements through space. There is a really cool website which allows you to see asteroid's position in "real time."
https://eyes.nasa.gov/apps/asteroids/#/watch/ />
Around 11,000 asteroids have been found since 2020. While 20,000 asteroids were found between 2000-2019. Most are smaller than automobiles, which will break up in the atmosphere and pose no threat. Others are quite large, as much as 587 miles, which is almost the same distance from Houston, TX to Birmingham, AL as the crow flies. These are world killers. Not even the earth's mantle will survive.
It is estimated, that if an asteroid as big as a football field hits New York city, it will destroy it and the earthquake it will produce will be in the 7.+ in the Richter scale. It will be felt 1000 miles away.
Now, in Sept 2022, asteroid 2022 SF289, which is about 600 feet wide, passed by the earth about 7 million miles away. In comparison, the earth's and mars distance at their closest point is 47 million miles. Oh I forgot. Asteroid 2022 SF289 passed by the earth completely unnoticed by any agency, instrument, telescope, and only when it passed was it detected. Thanks Nasa!
Yeah. Nasa is sure nothing will hit the earth in the next 100 years from those asteroids they already noticed and categorized, they don't have a clue about the one that is heading straight for the Earth unnoticed and with one mission, destroy it.

In 2014, Denmark's population growth was at .4% way lower than the required 2.3% that is needed to keep the population steady. Denmark's estimated the country would not survive without people having kids, so they showed commercials with the slogan, "Do it for Denmark." There were also fertility discounts through vacations' spots to entice the population to get "busy" and help populate the country since 10% of pregnancies happen during vacations.
I mention this because the USA's population is leveling out. As a matter of fact, the end of the world's population growth spurt ended around 2015. It is estimated that the world's population, according to the USA's census agency and the UN, will begin to level and then drop substantially around 2100.
In the USA, it is estimated that the population will only increase by 10% in 80 years. That will not be enough citizens to sustain the US GDP. As a matter of fact, USA citizens are not producing enough children. According to the US census, the only thing that is keeping the US population growth higher than leveled is immigrants. According to the report, without any immigration, by the 2100, the USA's population will be at 236 million. If high immigration the population will be around 430 million. The census report also stated that the US citizen population grew at 4.3% while the immigrant population grew at 23.6%.
In conclusion, two things may be done to help the USA's needed population growth. USA citizens need to start having sex and giving birth or reform the immigration system in the country.

"I dunno. But in the war after the next war, sure as hell, they'll be using spears"- Army Lt, after a reporter asked the officer in Sept. 1946, 6 months before Albert Einstein, "What weapons will be used in the next war?"
There are weapons that can kill millions or billions of people within 1 month. Bang. You are dead. Period.These are the merciful weapons, believe it or not. Pray that these are the weapons used to destroy the earth and not the alternative.
See, there is a weapon within a weapon that it can not be seen, heard, or felt. This weapon will bring the apocalypse. At the explosion, all air traffic will fall from the sky, and everyone on life support will die within days after the generators run out of fuel. All electrical equipment will pop and become useless. Basically, lights out. Nothing will work unless it is manual. Nothing.
To understand the implications of this, no capacitors, no flow of electricity. No flow of electricity or energy means no vehicles to transport food and no refrigeration to save food.
If USA citizens kill themselves for a $100 TV during black Friday, imagine what they will do for the water and food that is expiring or contaminated since the whole energy grid would have to be started new. This will take years, maybe decades. Imagine a slow starved death, and you wouldn't come close to the horror you will face.
In 1962, the USA conducted the starfish Prime exercise. The USA exploded a 1.4 kt nuclear weapon in space, which its Electrical Magnetic Pulse (EMP) effect was felt 900 miles away in Hawaii. The EMP blast fried close to 300 traffic lights on the island.
Now, last week Biden’s administration announced a new thermonuclear weapon that is 235 times the yield from the Starfish project.
This means that if a thermonuclear weapon of this kind is detonated at a higher altitude, nobody will die by the explosion, yet the EMP effect will be felt around the world knowing that the circumference of the earth is 24,000 miles in the equator.
In conclusion, an EMP weapon will be more devastating than 4,000 nuclear weapons dropped on earth with millions dead because everyone will be alive, thirsty, and hungry. less

These plans are the precursors to actual by-laws in which the US government plans how to deal with "little green men."
I say all this because a nuclear weapon explosion is about 300,000,000° F warm, while the sun is at the most 20,000,000° F cool.
Also, a nuclear blast is between 50-100 times more luminous than our sun.
Knowing this and the fact that more than 100 nuclear tests above ground were performed, wouldn't you say that if anyone was or is looking in our direction, they found us due to the anomalies the nukes luminosity compared to our sun produced?

Throughout history, Daylight Savings Time has been discussed and bills were enacted either against or for in Congress. In 1966 the USA standardized Daylight Savings Time. It was updated to the current time in 2005 and the changes took effect in 2007.
Why is it relevant today? Because companies and stores that sell products to the population lobbied Congress for years so they can make a little extra money.
In conclusion and simply, War and profits is why the USA has Daylight Savings Time (War Time).
If you need any references, let me know. I used about 19 of them.
You may find some of the info Congress.gov, NPRnews.com , Militarynews.com, Census.gov
FYI: Benjamin Franklin in 1784 jokingly wrote a piece criticizing Paris by suggesting the country should implement some sort of Daylight Savings Time, so its citizens would be able to get up early, implying they were lazy.

Bernardo de Gálvez was born on July 23rd, 1746.
You probably haven't heard of this Spanish recognized military sympathizer that fought for the USA's independence from the British during the Revolutionary War.
As a soldier in the Spanish army, he fought in both American continents and Europe. In 1777, he became a colonel and Lt. Governor of Louisiana, which helped him smuggle supplies to the "American Rebels" in Ohio and Pennsylvania. Gálves also let American troops through New Orleans before Spain joined the war. I suggest you dive into his accomplishments and military strategies.
Gálves was recognized as part of the US Bicentennial Anniversary in 1976. A statue of Gálvez in a horse was erected on D.C. to commemorate his merits and bravery to the patriot cause.
On December 16, 2014, Gálvez was awarded "honorary" citizenship by US Congress and was hailed a hero of the American Revolution.
My point is that you don't have to be a "USA citizen" to help the country succeed since most of the USA's citizens, from the early settlers, Native Americans, Africans, European during 1800-1900s migration, to those arriving now, were not or are not US citizens when they entered the country. less

"Date which will live in infamy." - FDR
These are the words written on President FDR's first version of the speech he gave to his fellow citizens after the "surprise" Pearl Harbor attack on Dec. 7th 1941.
This "surprise" attack was actually not as a surprise to some need-to-know military and civilian officials. In fact, Secretary of War Henry Stimson stated after the war, "we needed the Japanese to commit the first overt act." Meaning the attack on Pearl Harbor was a necessity for US citizens to back up USA's plan to go to war against Japan, even though the US had already been planning and maneuvering for it.
On Dec. 4th 1941, the Navy Intelligence office sent a "Japanese intelligence and propaganda in the United States" memo to the White House three days before the Pearl Harbor attack, speculating a Japanese military action and possible targets: the US west coast, the Panamá canal, and the territory of Hawaii.
Chance favors the prepared mind.
Although tragically, many of my brothers and sisters lost their lives during the Pearl Harbor attack, we must embrace some food for thought and ponder if it was luck that no US carrier was damaged by the onslaught since they weren't at the island, or was it something else entirely? less

Anthropologists and archeologists have discovered brewing equipment as back as 5,000 years ago in China, South America, and Egypt. Beer or something similar was and is a part of our different cultures throughout history.
Okay, now the good part.
Budlight is now the #2 best-selling beer in the USA. Budlight was surpassed by Modelo Especial. As you may know, the anti-lgbtq rhetoric after a transgender person appeared in an Anheuser-Busch product (Budlight) cause the slowing down of sales of Budlight.
Modelo Especial, which is made in the USA by Constellation Brands, only supplies 20% of all Modelo Beer. 80% of the rest of Modelo Beer is imported to the USA from different countries.
Now, in all other countries that brew Modelo and import them to the USA (about 80% of product), Anheuser-Busch is the owner of the breweries.
This means that unless you buy your Modelo beer specifically from breweries that are in the USA (20% of the product), you are still buying products from Anheuser-Busch, the makers of Budlight. less

As the crowd urged the police officers to let them continue, the police officers drew their weapons and started shooting into the crowd.
10 people died as a result of their injuries, nine people were permanently disabled, and 28 others had life-threatening injuries from the clubs of the police officers.
News of the incident was not readily available since "it would cause mass hysteria," a Paramount News official stated after it was found out that they edited the pictures.

Because of a loophole in Kansas law, which was just enacted after the USA organized the territory in 1854 through the Kansas-Nebraska Act. Non-residents voted on certain elections only for residents of "Kansas" during those years. Many pro-slavery people were voted to legislative positions to try and allow slavery in the state. Democrats was a pro-slavery party while Republicans were anti-slavery. (How things change and don't change).
During the fighting on 1865, John Brown an abolitionist, dragged 5 unarmed southerners from their home and killed them. Thus giving the anti-slavery Republicans reasons for northern anti-slavery citizens to join the fight for "Kansas" freedom from slavery. The massacre and violence was called Bleeding Kansas.
After a passionate speech on the House floor "the Crime Against Kansas" from senator Charles Sumner - Mass. Republican, that describe the violence happening in Kansas because of pro-slavery rhetoric, a representative Preston Brooks - SC Democrat¸ went to Sumners quarters and beat him almost to death.

First, the silos where theses missiles are in are one of the most secured places in the earth. The technology these silos have let the capsule crew detect a rabbit that enters the premises outside the silo. Second, there are only 2 ways to open the door which sits in top of the missile. One way is by technicians with special equipment and the other is by explosive devices. If any of these doors are opened the President of the USA knows about it, since it has to tell our friends and foes governments that is not open because of war. As you can imagine opening these doors are one of the most delicate procedures since they are been watched 24/7 by most countries. Saying that, in late 1960s a door that weighs 110 tons was opened without the necessary explosives nor technicians. This ladies and gentlemen is an impossibility for we lack the technology to move a 110 ton object without touching it. During this incident not just was the door opened it was slid across the rails in seconds. A few MPs got to see a bright lit object hovering over the silo, without alerting the capsule crew which is in charge of the security and launching of the missile. Something moved an object that weighs 110 tons without any alarms going off and disabled a nuclear weapon without setting foot on the silo.
