  5. Incoming POTUS just announced a $20 billion dollar partnership with United Arab Emirates company DAMAC Properties to build data centers around the US. In what could be seen as a conflict of interests, DAMAC Properties has been doing business with incoming POTUS for many years. This company did the master-planned residential golf community around Trump International Golf Club in Dubai. The company also invested up to $5 million in POTUS OJ's campaign in 2016. Also, Japanese company SoftBank Group will be investing $100 billion in technology and telecommunications projects over the next 4 years. Politics isn't about red and blue. The c…

The Three Green Comets; SWANN (2025), ZTF & Nishimura of 2023 Part II-The Swan Comet One possible explanation given for the green comet that just appeared on the SWANN spacecraft and although it was obviously here for many months undetected was that it just exploded and became bright enough to be seen. This explanation only confirms my memory because, although I searched and searched in the past few years for a reference, I could not find any. I absolutely remember reading Biblical commentary about the mysterious 'dark green comet', Wormwood, that may be able to mo…

    What I never hear from various people, black or non black, is nixon was pardoned. USA history shows the president is immune. I know alot of blacks in the usa, I am not certain most, like the concept of individual equality . Maybe want it implemented. But the usa has a heritage of inequality, not equality.

Despite the money being wasted on *high-level* meetings and talks regarding the war is Ukraine, Putin has never wavered in his ambitions. Ukrainian president Zelensky showed up last week begging POTUS OJ for Tomahawk missiles. That would level the battlefield. Zelensky left with his beret in hand.

    Death of Engine Civilization! Throwaway Cars! People with Zero Comprehension of technology are part of the problem. I remember when I was seven years old. I was walking to school with my two older sister. There was a white car parked on the street and I stopped and stared at that car and thought, "When I grow up I'm going to have a car like that." It was a 1957 Thunderbird with the round Opera Windows. I built lots of model cars and planes in grammar school. Including the Visible V-8 engine. I lost interest in cars in high school. They were just transportation machines. Reliability, durability and servi…

    JOHN TORNOW: VILLAIN OR VICTIM? is a historical novel of the "Wildman of the Wynooche," who was alleged to have killed six people, starting with his 19-year-old twin nephews, William and John Bauer in 1911. The suspicion was laid to Tornow and it touched off a 19-month manhunt, the longest in Pacific Northwest history, before he was killed in a firefight on April 16, 1913. This story attempts to unveil as much of the truth as we know, based on 28 years of research, talking to descendants of neighbors, friends and relatives of the Tornow family.

In the meantime, politicians will tell the American people there isn't enough money for eliminating diseases, universal health care, providing food and housing to every citizen and eliminating student loan debt, etc. It reminds me of someone asking for $10 dollars and a person pulls a $10 thousand dollar wad of cash from their pocket and says, I don't have it.🤣 American taxpayers are financing endeavors that are not remotely within…
