America’s Oligarchy Wealthy elites along with CEOs hold most of the nations wealth & power. Now they’re in our government, siphoning tax dollars & shaping policy. They built a system that funnels even more wealth & power to those who have the most. It’s all by design. novaramedia.com/2026/08/19/c...

Forests are disappearing faster than most of us realize. Between 2015 and 2025, the planet lost over 40 million hectares—an area larger than Germany. South America and Africa saw the heaviest losses, and the impact ripples outward in ways that touch everything.

And thats the story of Noah's Ark. Billy? You have a question?
Yes. According to my calculations raising
the level of the oceans to 29,000 feet in only 40 days would require a 30-foot-per-hour raintail, roughly equivalent to that of a fire-hose. Wouldn't the Ark have melted like Spun sugar under those circumstances?
