During the Reagan,Bush 1 and Bush 2 administrations the WP and NYT would pay money for 'top secret" documents and then print them on the front page. Claiming their 1st amendment rights to do so, not an issue anymore as the CIA is in firm control of these once independent news papers
Now everything and I do mean everything out of WP and NYT is political propaganda.
CNN earned the title of Clinton News Network 30 years ago and has done nothing to shake off that title, I have little faith that new management will be any different
Queen Elizabeth II dead at 96 after 70 years on the throne
London (AP) â Queen Elizabeth II, Britainâs longest-reigning monarch and a symbol of stability in a turbulent era that saw the decline of the British empire and embarrassing dysfunction in her own family, died Thursday after 70 years on the throne. She was 9
Not sure about woke stuff and NASA - I remember in the early days the âcomputersâ were all women (not computers as machines nowadays, calculations were manual and computed by ladies) - women were prohibited from being astronauts.
First female in space was Soviet Unionâs Valentina Tereshkova in 1963 - took another 20 years for NASA to send Sally Ride up in Challenger.
Space exploration is a noble endeavour - no weapons or war.
Remember the x15? - Neil Armstrong was one of the first test pilots, they landed exactly like the shuttle so many years later - only ever lost one test pilot who was killed on landing (cannot remember his name) but was credited as an astronaut because he breached the Karman line.
Itâs interesting to note how Donald Trump threatens to sue Fox News rather than fighting The Lincoln Project, the company that created this ad, where facts might be revealed
Donald Trump Threatens To Sue Fox News Over Ad That Calls His Supporters âSuckersâ
Donald Trump threatened to sue Fox News for broadcasting an ad that was critical of him.
It should be noted that Trump notoriously threatens lawsuits but rarely files them â probably because the discovery process could force him to answer embarrassing questions under oath.
Hidden Figures was a great movie, I wish Hollywood made more movies like that
Women and people of different races were all very important to early NASA and did not get the recognition they deserved. But this business of selecting people based solely on their race and gender and disqualifying everyone else is not a winning formula, that kind of thinking has given a total disaster as Vice President
Maybe we should have a Woman as NASAâs next Administrator, the men holding that job over the last 40 years have set a pretty low bar, ( killed 14 astronauts and no manned missions outside low earth orbit)
NASA performs like any other government agency, throw enough money at them and they can do almost anything, but mostly what they do is consume a great deal of money and resources, producing little in return
A protester who is caught violating the law should be prosecuted, plain and simple
Why charges will not be dropped against hundreds of Breonna Taylor protesters in Kentucky
His office previously reviewed more than 1,000 protest arrests made between 2020 and 2021 and dismissed 70% of them, according to a Courier Journal analysis. But it has moved forward with more than 200 cases involving violence, threats of violence, property damage and road blocking.
Consuming money is exactly what I used to hear re the Appollo Moon programme - back then i used to think about this - where is this money going to - some black hole in space perhaps?
Only in later years did i realize that people took home the money and put bread on their families tables
Nah - âmilitary industrial complexâ is quite a mouthful and wars are not pushed by anything complex - most times it comes down to a simple 3 letter word.
It is mandatory for Trump supporters to be obedient.
Trump accused Fox News of âpushingâ Democratsâ agenda and said if CNN âwent conservative,â itâd be an âabsolute gold mineâ and heâd help
Donald Trump lashed out at Fox News and Karl Rove after Rove critiqued his handling of documents.
Trump also said he would support CNN if the network decided to take a conservative approach.
Recent exits at CNN suggest the network is trying to appeal to a wider audience.
Former President Donald Trump tore into Fox News on Sunday, accusing the network of amplifying a Democratic agenda and going harder on Republicans than Democrats.
It is mandatory for Trump supporters to be obedient.
