When Robert Oppenheimer watched the first atomic bomb detonate in the New Mexico desert on July 16, 1945, the blast confirmed that America had won the race to build a nuclear weapon.
The destructive power of these weapons was extraordinary; the explosion from Oppenheimer’s “Trinity” test unleashed an astonishing 83.7 Terajoules (TJ) of energy from just SIX kilograms of Plutonium-239.
By comparison, a typical power plant in 1945 would have required 9.5 MILLION kilograms of coal to produce a similar amount of energy. Continue reading
Our politics are dominated by special interests, corporate money, lobbyists, and entrenched politicians who remain in power for decades. The average voter has been pushed to the sidelines while billion-dollar industries shape our laws, our regulations, and ultimately, our lives.
“We the people are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution.” 
There is no way I can possibly count all the ways our property is being stolen from us by our so-called government “of the people, by the people, for the people”. But we are losing our property rights at breakneck speed and soon we will be property if we don’t put a stop to this iniquitous thievery. 
A 16th-century astrologer predicted political upheaval and a renewed conflict between East and West in 2026 – but it’s not all doom and gloom and there may be something positive to look forward to in the new year.
These words, attributed to Dietrich Bonhoeffer, echo like a warning bell across generations. They are not merely poetic, they are prophetic. If we dare to measure our society by this standard, we must confront a painful truth: we are failing.
I truly do believe that President Trump really loves America, but for some inexplicable reason, his past connection with the Democrat Party and its propaganda really took hold of him in the early days. And despite all his protestations to the contrary, his Democrat leanings and proclivities continue to shine through his so-called “conservative” rhetoric on an almost weekly basis. One cannot truly trust that what he says today will be standing as his ironclad conviction tomorrow, and that is a maddening thing to witness, since it by its very nature acts as a subversive element against America and suggests that America’s own founding principles and convictions are of little or no consequence to him.
These past four years, and more these past two months and days have put pressure on this nation as has not been seen since both our American Revolution of the 1770’s, and our second Revolution of the 1860’s. For me – it has been the days of this week, more than any before them.
An analyst Friday said that President Donald Trump’s floundering MAGA regime and “cast of characters” is “wreaking havoc” on Americans’ lives.
A recent study has identified a potential brain-based explanation for the connection between future-oriented thinking and the characteristics of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, or ADHD. The research suggests that the strength of communication between specific brain networks is linked to a person’s ability to plan for the future, which in turn is associated with the severity of inattention and hyperactivity. The findings were published in Progress in Neuropsychopharmacology & Biological Psychiatry.
