Graham Phillips - outstanding reporter back on the story
Long-time excellent reporter Graham Phillips talks about fascism in Ukraine - nails it too. I've watched many of his videos since 2014. He reported from the Donbass for years and was kicked out of Ukraine for doing so. Kiev's Nazi-led army tried to kill him many times. He's now come back and tells this story. He's a good man. Bruce PS Must watch this one below - really starts after Putin's words in the video. Mostly about the Nazis in Ukraine. read more

Modeling a Habitable Planet at Centauri A/B
[image: Modeling a Habitable Planet at Centauri A/B] Why is it so difficult to detect planets around Alpha Centauri? Proxima Centauri is one thing; we’ve found interesting worlds there, though this small, dim star has been a tough target, examined through decades of steadily improving equipment. But Centauri A and B, the G-class and K-class central binary here, have proven impenetrable. Given that we’ve found over 4500 planets around other stars, why the problem here? Proximity turns out to be a challenge in itself. Centauri A and B are in an orbit around a common barycenter, angle... read more

Bidenflation will get worse
Michael Snyder: This is what the early chapters of an inflationary meltdown look like.

Of course, those that follow my website regularly already know that the reality is much worse than that. If the inflation rate was still calculated the way that it was back in 1980, it would be over 15 percent right now. We are already experiencing the sort of painful inflation that Americans were forced to endure during the Jimmy Ca... read more
