Good morning nature and photography lovers!😄👋🏻☕️
Let’s show a thread with sunbeams.
Here’s sunbeams bursting through the clouds in the evening!

🚨 Poul Thorsen, a researcher whose work was used to reassure millions of parents that vaccines do not cause autism, is expected to plead guilty to fraud on Sept. 1.
Thorsen worked on major studies examining vaccines and autism that were cited by the CDC and became part of the scientific foundation used to dismiss concerns about a possible connection.
He was later accused by federal prosecutors of stealing more than $1 million in CDC grant money intended for research, using fabricated documents and fraudulent invoices to divert the funds for his own use.
For years, we’ve been told not to question the science on vaccines and autism. We were told the evidence was overwhelming and the people conducting the research could be trusted.
When the integrity of the people producing that science comes into question, so should our willingness to accept their conclusions without scrutiny.
This article was written by a 26 yr old college student by the name of Alyssa Ahlgren, who's in grad school for her MBA. What a GREAT perspecitve..👍🏽
My Generation Is Blind to the Prosperity Around Us!
I'm sitting in a small coffee shop near Nokomis (Florida) trying to think of what to write about. I scroll through my newsfeed on my phone looking at the latest headlines of presidential candidates calling for policies to "fix" the so-called injustices of capitalism. I put my phone down and continue to look around.
I see people talking freely, working on their MacBook's, ordering food they get in an instant, seeing cars go by outside, and it dawned on me. We live in the most privileged time in the most prosperous nation and we've become completely blind to it.
Vehicles, food, technology, freedom to associate with whom we choose.These things are so ingrained in our American way of life we don't give them a second thought.
We are so well off here in the United States that our poverty line begins 31 times above the global average. Thirty One Times!!!
Virtually no one in the United States is considered poor by global standards. Yet, in a time where we can order a product off Amazon with one click and have it at our doorstep the next day, we are unappreciative, unsatisfied, and ungrateful. ??
Our unappreciation is evident as the popularity of socialist policies among my generation continues to grow. Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez recently said to Newsweek talking about the millennial generation, "An entire generation, which is now becoming one of the largest electorates in America, came of age and never saw American prosperity."
Never saw American prosperity! Let that sink in.
When I first read that statement, I thought to myself, that was quite literally the most entitled and factually illiterate thing I've ever heard in my 26 years on this earth. Many young people agree with her, which is entirely misguided.
My generation is being indoctrinated by a mainstream narrative to actually believe we have never seen prosperity. I know this first hand, I went to college, let's just say I didn't have the popular opinion, but I digress.
Why then, with all of the overwhelming evidence around us, evidence that I can even see sitting at a coffee shop, do we not view this as prosperity? We have people who are dying to get into our country.
People around the world destitute and truly impoverished. Yet, we have a young generation convinced they've never seen prosperity, and as a result, we elect some politicians who are dead set on taking steps towards abolishing capitalism.
Why? The answer is this,?? my generation has only seen prosperity. We have no contrast. We didn't live in the great depression, or live through two world wars, the Korean War, The Vietnam War or we didn't see the rise and fall of socialism and communism.
We don't know what it's like to live without the internet, without cars, without smartphones. We don't have a lack of prosperity problem. We have an entitlement problem, an ungratefulness problem, and it's spreading like a plague."
@samirdamle@Athena32254153@RickyDoggin The next six-planet alignment occurs on August 12, 2026—about 5 months later—but with Mars instead of Venus. For the exact same set (Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune), it's rare and may not happen again for 100+ years, based on orbital patterns.
@Athena32254153 @RickyDoggin Yes, a six-planet alignment (Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune) is expected on February 28, 2026, visible after sunset in the evening sky. Uranus and Neptune may require binoculars. Sources like NASA and Star Walk confirm this@Athena32254153 @RickyDoggin Yes, a six-planet alignment (Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune) is expected on February 28, 2026, visible after sunset in the evening sky.

I am not young. I don’t use TikTok (have an account/don't use). I listen to NPR Morning Edition and other podcasts, read the WSJ/NY Post/Newsweek/Telegraph/NYT and others daily. I’m a war scholar, over 35 years of experience. I spent 25 years active duty in the military, 2 x year long deployments in combat in Iraq, have been a scholar in specifically urban and underground warfare for over 10 years to include studying Israel's wars before October 7. I have conducted 7 research trips to Israel since October 7th, 6 times embedded, researching, collecting data with the IDF inside of Gaza. The evidence I’ve seen and collected show Israel has executed it's war against Hamas in Gaza above an beyond requirements of the law of armed conflict, implemented more measures to prevent civilian harm and provided more aid and services to an enemy population in enemy controlled territory than any military in history. There is conclusively no genocide in Gaza.
@POTUS 17+ months apart from your spouse in a loving marriage is TOO LONG. 💔💔 It's time to prioritize families & reunite loved ones. Reform and modernize the CR-1 Visa #BringThemHome#EndTheSeparation#FamilyFirst
