For those that think that Donny and his South African stooge are putting the People of the United States first look at the programs and agencies they are going after.
FEMA helping after disasters (full of waste and abuse)
Social Security system we pay into (sending billions to dead people)
Department of Education (WOKE)
Centers for Disease Control… well why do we need that.
FAA now planes are crashing
Consumer Financial Protection Agency because they are stopping banks from gouging Americans.
They are on a crusade to end Diversity Equity and Inclusion… make them say the words not just DEI
Have you heard that they are cutting the billions we give to BIG OIL… no you haven’t because they aren’t.
Musk has gotten more money for Space X and a contract to supple armored Cybertrucks to the DOD… no conflict there,
Donald believes he alone is AMERICA fuck everyone else.
Icy glaciers probably don’t spring to mind when you think about the tropics. But whether it’s Indonesia, Colombia, Kenya, or elsewhere, glaciers do exist in these warm climates. Of course, these huge chunks of ice aren’t sipping mai tais beachside, but are instead perched high up in mountain ranges. These frigid formations are the result of snow that’s been compressed into massive, slow-moving bodies of iceover the course of centuries.
But although these glaciers have taken ages to form, their disappearing act will be much more swift. In all, 50% of mountain glaciers (both tropical and nontropical) will disappear by the end of this century due to climate change. Glaciers can serve as vital water reserves during drought, so their disappearance can have dire consequences in hot regions. In Indonesia, the Eternity Glacierscurrently rest in the Jayawijaya mountains, but continuous dry seasons mean they’ll likely disappear forever in 2026. The Conejeras glacier in the Colombian Andeswill perform the same vanishing act on a similar timeline. Mount Kenya and Mount Kilimanjaro in Africa also sport glaciers on their peaks, though both mountains are steadily losing ice mass due to changes in ocean patterns caused by our warming world. Sadly, this is just the latest glacial batch facing evaporation. In 2009, the Chacaltaya glacier in Bolivia disappeared completely, and the country has lost around half of its glaciers in the past 50 years. Glaciers will continue to exist in the colder reaches of the world for centuries, but the age of tropical glaciers is quickly coming to an end.

After some consideration on the issue of wealth, power, and the desire to control the world, a question arises. The people that are behind the destruction or attempted destruction of democracy have control of much of the wealth of this nation and possibly more influence in the world than is realistic, so when it is well known that you attract more bees with honey than with vinegar, why are they all so intent on dumping vinegar on everything? All that wealth could be returned to them more easily if they would support the programs and agencies that support the people. Taking away all of the things that keep society running is quite simply foolish. If the systems and programs that make life better and give more opportunity for hope and fulfillment are taken away then nothing is going to move forward, grow, or produce a profit. If you cannot at least sell what you produce then why bother? If you have a factory run with robots but at the end of the day you have no sales what have you accomplished? No one working means no one has money to purchase, and where does the wealth come from, sitting on gold bars? No matter how warm the chickens bottom is gold will not produce more gold from being sat on. Money has to have a function as do people to produce a satisfactory result. So to the wealthy 1% think about your future if you destroy the futures of all that support your businesses what does your future look like? A serious common sense look at what is going on with the destruction of our nation and democracy should cause a great deal of anguish and maybe some sleepless nights. THINK ABOUT IT!!!!
Long before they became fashionable accessories for sunny days, some of the earliest sunglasses served a far different purpose: In Chinese courtrooms, judges used dark-lensed glasses to hide their facial expressions. Eyeglasses became popular in Chinese society during the late 13th century and early 14th century, and around the same period, rudimentary sunglasses featuring dark lenses made from smoky quartz were invented. While they protected against glare, they were also intended to provide judges with an air of impartiality during trials by obscuring their eyes — and thus their emotional responses.
It wasn’t until the 18th century that an early precursor to modern sunglasses, explicitly designed for dealing with sun and glare, became popular in Europe. “Goldoni’s eyeglasses” were developed circa 1700 in Venice, Italy, and were nicknamed for playwright Carlo Goldoni, who fashionably wore a pair. These green-tinted spectacles were primarily worn by Venetian gondoliers as well as high-society women and children in an effort to shield their eyes from the glare that bounced off the canal water. In 1752, British optician James Ayscough unveiled a new invention to serve a similar purpose: blue-tinted glasses that he believed protected eyes against harmful light better than white glass.
Sloths are masters of living life in the slow lane. These tree-hugging mammals, split into two-toed and three-toed varieties, travel only about 125 feet a day — so slowly that moss and algae grow on their fur. This lethargic lifestyle is actually a survival strategy suitable for their slow metabolisms and low-calorie diets, which are mostly based on tree leaves. In fact, three-toed sloths have the slowest metabolism of any mammal (followed closely by pandas and two-toed sloths).
Their sluggish metabolism, as well as their ability to slow their heart to one-third its normal rate, give sloths an unexpected superpower — they can hold their breath for an impressively long time. With estimates suggesting that some two-toed sloths can hold their breath for upwards of 40 minutes, this makes sloths better at conserving oxygen than even some marine mammals such as dolphins, who can only hold their breath for 15 minutes, max. The sloth breathing technique, aided by the design of their lungs, helps make sloths excellent swimmers. So while their leisurely lifestyle may seem a bit lazy to the untrained eye, don’t blame the sloths — they’re just built that way.
More on the usual nonsense coming from this administration. At every turn he has tried to ignore the Constitution and since he had sworn to uphold it I would have to say that makes him a traitor and should be subject to prosecution. This is becoming a case of one mans attitude is the only thing that counts. He does not accept science, or approve of public education, transgender people, same sex marriage, global warming, or kindness. His world is filled with vengence and rightiousness not that he has any. His actions so far signal mental illness and incompentecy and he needs to be removed from office. The actions of the people he has chosen to be part of his cabinet prove that his mental capacity is limited to self interest and little else. He put three justices on the Supreme Court that lied under oath and nothing has been done about it, now he has people in various positions throughout govenorment and all have been under oath in their hearings and all have lied, still nothing is done. The biggest liar is Trump as he lied about everything to get reelected and has broken every promise he made unless it concerned the rich bastards that bank rolled his campaign. In order to stop this completely it is going to need for the entire Congress to stand up and stop all this nonsense. They need to remove Trump and make sure that Musk is also terminated. Trump is hoping that he will be allowed a third term, although he has said that in 4 years election will not bee needed as he is going to change all that. He pobably needs to view the possible consequences that might just lead to lack of ability to even finish this tour. We have more than enough to deal with and now we have a person in the Oval Office that is mandating not only economic policy but requiring that all should follow his preferences about gender issues, racial issues, next will be a requirement to eat at least one meal a day at a McDonald's. There are people that are concerned about what to do IF he orders this or that. The simple answer to this question is that he has already violated the Constitution and seems pleased to continue to do so. His blatant disregard for the Constitution, that he took and oath to, is not just a bump in the road, it is treason. He needs to be arrested and removed from where he can do any more harm. All that back him also need to be confined so that they are not temped to follow his requests and jepordize the nation. Another issue at hand is the interest of those in California to create a separate nation. That would mean leaving the US and forming their own alliances and all the rest of it. Part of the driving force behind this desire is the fact that Trump does not want to help the state after the fires they have had. That effort is fostered by the weakest of reasons and that is because they hurt Donnies feelings. Another method to get back at the central government would be to not pay into the tax requests or requirements. If the central governorment is reluctant to help with fire damage just don't pay the central government for anything. I have another way to pay for the recovery, don't send any tax funds to Washington and when asked just say you are rebuilding and let it go at that. The longer this madness goes on the more reason we see for making use of our passports and leaving, although running away is not the answer. Another part of that is you really don't want to fly these days because that is not all that safe either. Going back to the issue of not paying attention to court orders, when are the judges going to call on the US Marshalls to go and arrest Trump for violating the orders? Is that what it is going to take? Will the releasted Jan 6 people jump in and defend Trump? The point is that everyone of the people that got sworn into office of any type, legislative or law enforcement, or even the President, took an oath to the Constitution to serve and protect against all eneemies foreign and DOMESTIC, and right now our greatest danger is the enemy within. Those people are sitting in the seats of positions that should be prosecuting crimes against the nation not being filled by idiots trying to destroy our nation. All agents of law enforcement, all sitting members of Congress, think about the oath you took and act accordingly. Members of the military remember that you do not have to obey orders that are illigal or that go against the Constitution, and you can be tried under UCMJ laws if you do follow those orders. All of you need to stand up and remove the threat, if that means bodily remove someone, anyone from their office and put them under arrest, do so. Secret service agents are suppose to protect the President, and the President is suppose to represent us, the people of the United States. When the President no longer represents us, your job should become the task of defend us from the President. For the sake of the nation, do your jobs.
We are all being distracted by the never ending shit show… RFK Jr has been confirmed as HHS Secretary, so we can look forward to COVID-19 looking like a vacation, Tulsi Gabbard is now in a position to trade State Secrets with China , Russia and any one else Donny wants to let loot the US. He is talking about occupying Gaza, and with Hegseth in charge of the DOD we should look forward to another 9/11 attack except this time it attacks will it more than NYC & the Pentagon. Now we just need for the Republicans to cave and confirm Patel to lead the FBI so they can start incarnating citizens that say mean things about King Donald… plus you need to take out a second mortgage to buy eggs…
Mount Rushmore is one of the United States’ most recognizable landmarks, but it contains a hidden secret: a 70-foot-long tunnel located behind Abraham Lincoln’s head. The tunnel was created as the entrance to a Hall of Records conceived by sculptor Gutzon Borglum. The idea was to build a chamber inside the monument that housed important documents such as the Constitution and Declaration of Independence, which would be accessible by an 800-foot granite stairway that stretched up the mountain from Borglum’s studio to the chamber. Work began on the Hall of Records in July 1938 as crews constructed the 70-foot tunnel. However, in 1939, Congress halted work on the chamber and instructed Borglum to focus on carving the presidents’ heads instead. Borglum died two years later in 1941, effectively putting an end to the side project and leaving the Hall of Records unfinished.
Almost 60 years later, the Mount Rushmore National Memorial Society brought part of Borglum’s vision to life, installing a box at the chamber’s entrance containing 16 porcelain enamel panels. The panels explain the story of the United States and include biographies of the presidents featured on Mount Rushmore. They were sealed beneath 1,200 pounds of granite capstone as an homage to Borglum’s initial vision.
It’s often speculated that Valentine’s Day has its roots in the ancient Roman festival of Lupercalia, and it’s not hard to see why. Lupercalia was observed on February 15, and involved fertility rituals — albeit along with animal sacrifice and ritual whipping. Yet the link between this pagan festival and the Christian feast day that morphed into our modern ode to love and romance is murky, and indeed may be little more than coincidence.
At its peak, Lupercalia — which dates back to at least the sixth century BCE, predating Christianity by centuries — was a really wild time. A group of nude Roman priests kicked off the events in Lupercal Cave at the bottom of Palatine Hill with the sacrifice of a dog and at least one goat. They painted themselves in the blood and wiped it off their skin with milk-soaked wool, then cut strips of goat hide and whipped women on the hands with them to promote fertility.
As time went on, Lupercalia mellowed out, and the nudity dramatically subsided. Yet it was still too much for Pope Gelasius I, who forbade participation in the festival at the end of the fifth century CE. One common theory is that he supplanted the pagan festival with St. Valentine’s Day, also known as the Feast of St. Valentine, though recent historians have shed doubt on that claim. For one thing, St. Valentine, a third-century Christian martyr, had no connection to love or romance. In fact, the holiday didn’t get its modern association until Geoffrey Chaucer wrote a poem linking St. Valentine’s Day and mating season in the 14th century, some 900 years after the holiday was established.
