Graham Hancock "I have no idea how the pyramids were built"
“To be honest, I have no answer to that question. And anybody who tells you that he or she knows how the pyramids were built are not telling the truth, because we don’t know. We don’t know.”
The Great Pyramid is locked into the cardinal dimensions of our planet… its height × 43,200 = Earth’s polar radius, its base perimeter × 43,200 = Earth’s equatorial circumference.
“This is why I’m forced to consider the possibility of a lost civilization in the human story.”
Don't forget that Lisa Murkowski:
-Voted to convict Trump in the BS impeachment trial
-Opposed repealing Obamacare
-Voted against the border wall
-Criticized Trump's tariffs and DOGE
-Voted with Democrats on Trump's war powers in Iran
Should she be primaried next?
Milton Friedman:
“You could not possibly maintain the present level of government taxation without the taxes being hidden. And they’re hidden in two very different ways.”
“They’re hidden through withholding, but they’re also hidden by being imposed supposedly on business when really, of course, business can’t pay taxes—only people can pay taxes.”
Jack "Dusty" Kleiss was a U.S. Navy dive bomber pilot best known for his extraordinary actions at the Battle of Midway in June 1942. He flew an SBD Dauntless dive bomber off the USS Enterprise as part of Scouting Squadron Six (VS-6).
At Midway, Kleiss accomplished something no other American pilot did: he scored direct bomb hits on three different Japanese warships during the battle, including two fleet carriers.
On the morning of June 4, 1942, Enterprise launched its air group in a desperate strike against the Japanese carrier force commanded by Admiral Nagumo. After a long and confused search, the dive bombers of VS-6 and VB-6, led by Lieutenant Commander Wade McClusky, finally spotted the enemy fleet. They arrived overhead at almost the perfect moment, just as Japanese fighters had been pulled down low to deal with American torpedo bombers, leaving the skies above the carriers nearly undefended. Kleiss pushed over into a near-vertical dive on the carrier Kaga, releasing his 500-pound bomb and two 100-pound bombs at low altitude. His main bomb struck Kaga near the aft of the island, contributing to the catastrophic fires that gutted the ship. Kaga, along with Akagi and Soryu, was reduced to a burning wreck within minutes in what became known as the "five minutes that changed the war."
Later that same day, the surviving Japanese carrier Hiryu launched counterstrikes that crippled the USS Yorktown. Enterprise sent another dive bomber strike late in the afternoon, and Kleiss flew again. This time he attacked Hiryu, scoring another direct hit that helped turn the last Japanese fleet carrier into a flaming hulk. With Hiryu's destruction, all four of Nagumo's frontline carriers were lost, breaking the back of Japanese naval airpower in a single day.
Two days later, on June 6, Kleiss flew yet again, this time against the damaged heavy cruisers Mogami and Mikuma, which had collided while retreating. Kleiss put a bomb squarely on Mikuma, helping to finish off the cruiser, which sank that evening.
Three sorties, three direct hits, two carriers and a cruiser. No other American aviator at Midway matched that record.
For his actions Kleiss received the Navy Cross, the Distinguished Flying Cross, and an Air Medal. He continued to serve in the Navy after the war as an aeronautical engineer, working on early jet and missile programs, and retired as a captain. In retirement he was quiet about his service for decades, but in his final years he became one of the most respected voices among surviving Midway veterans. He co-authored his memoir "Never Call Me a Hero: A Legendary American Dive-Bomber Pilot Remembers the Battle of Midway," published in 2017 shortly after his death at age 100 on April 22, 2016. He was among the last of the Dauntless dive bomber pilots who fought that day.

Unfortunately, many have forgotten and still countless others have never known how Ms. Fonda betrayed not only the idea of our country, but specific men who served and sacrificed during the Vietnam War.
The first part of this is from an F-4E pilot. The pilot's name is Jerry Driscoll, a River Rat. In 1968, the former Commandant of the USAF Survival School was a POW in Ho LoPrison, the "Hanoi Hilton."
Dragged from a stinking cesspit of a cell, cleaned, fed, and dressed in clean PJ's, he was ordered to describe for a visiting American "peace activist" the "lenient and humane treatment" he'd received.
He spat at Ms. Fonda, was clubbed, and was dragged away. During the subsequent beating, he fell forward onto the camp commandant 's feet, which sent that officer berserk.
In 1978, the Air Force Colonel still suffered from double vision (which permanently ended his flying career) from the Commandant's frenzied application of a wooden baton.
From 1963-65, Col. Larry Carrigan was in the 47FW/DO (F-4E's). He spent 6 years in the "Hanoi Hilton". . . The first three of which his family only knew he was "missing in action." His wife lived on faith that he was still alive. His group, too, got the cleaned-up, fed and clothed routine in preparation for a "peace delegation" visit.
They, however, had time and devised a plan to get word to the world that they were alive and still survived. Each man secreted a tiny piece of paper, with his Social Security Number on it, in the palm of his hand. When paraded before Ms. Fonda and a cameraman, she walked the line, shaking each man's hand and asking little encouraging snippets like: "Aren't you sorry you bombed babies?" and "Are you grateful for the humane treatment from your benevolent captors?" Believing this HAD to be an act, they each palmed her their sliver of paper.
She took them all without missing a beat. . . At the end of the line and once the camera stopped rolling, to the shocked disbelief of the POWs, she turned to the officer in charge and handed him all the little pieces of paper...
Three men died from the subsequent beatings. Colonel Carrigan was almost number four but he survived, which is the only reason we know of her actions that day.
I was a civilian economic development adviser in Vietnam, and was captured by the North Vietnamese communists in South Vietnam in 1968, and held prisoner for over 5 years.
I spent 27 months in solitary confinement; one year in a cage in Cambodia; and one year in a 'black box' in Hanoi. My North Vietnamese captors deliberately poisoned and murdered a female missionary, a nurse in a leprosarium in Banme Thuot, South Vietnam, whom I buried in the jungle near the Cambodian border. At one time, I weighed only about 90 lbs. (My normal weight is 170 lbs.)
We were Jane Fonda's "war criminals."
When Jane Fonda was in Hanoi, I was asked by the camp communist political officer if I would be willing to meet with her. I said yes, for I wanted to tell her about the real treatment we POWs received. . . and how different it was from the treatment purported by the North Vietnamese, and parroted by her as "humane and lenient."
Because of this, I spent three days on a rocky floor on my knees, with my arms outstretched with a large steel weight placed on my hands, and beaten with a bamboo cane.
I had the opportunity to meet with Jane Fonda soon after I was released. I asked her if she would be willing to debate me on TV. She never did answer me.
These first-hand experiences do not exemplify someone who should be honored as part of "100 Years of Great Women." Lest we forget. . . "100 Years of Great Women" should never include a traitor whose hands are covered with the blood of so many patriots.
There are few things I have strong visceral reactions to, but Hanoi Jane's participation in blatant treason, is one of them. Please take the time to forward to as many people as you possibly can. It will eventually end up on her computer, and she needs to know that we will never forget. See less
🇺🇸 President Trump just honored the 13 service members who lost their lives in Operation Epic Fury, asking the family of Maj. Ariana Savino to stand
"Ariana's selfless gift will NOT be in vain. Our debt to you is everlasting. And it's always going to end in victory."
"Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his faithful servants."
"These incredible men and women gave their lives to ensure that the world's number one state sponsor of terror will NEVER have a nuclear weapon. And they won't."
On this Memorial Day, honoring the 12 unknown Continental Army soldiers found at the Camden Battlefield in South Carolina, who died in battle on August 16, 1780. Their remains laid in shallow graves on the battlefield for 242 years until they were discovered in the fall of 2022. They were reinterred with full honors in April 2023. Their graves are across the street from the visitor center in the Old Presbyterian Cemetery. 🇺🇲
@TheDemocrats This hero was shot 4 times by anti-aircraft weaponry, shredding his legs while piloting a helicopter and landing in enemy fire…
…and he STILL stood up to receive his Medal of Honor
Democrats couldn’t bring themselves to stand for him.
Tells you everything you need to know.
