Facts Matter

On Aug. 28, President Donald Trump signed an executive order at the NASA Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas.
By doing so, he established the United States Space Academy to recruit, train, and retain America’s best and brightest.
This, alongside the growing demand in the private sector, represents the huge potential growth of the space industry in the years to come.

For the first time in history, the U.S. military has confirmed the use of a directed-energy laser system that took out three suspected cartel drones.
This was soon followed up by the Department of War announcing the recipient of a half-billion-dollar contract for the Army’s first-ever directed-energy program of record. The contract signals the start of the next evolution in modern warfare: laser warfare.
Let’s go through some of the details together.

Recently, I was playing in the woods with my son when we decided to go the path least taken. Two roads diverged in the wood, and we took the one less traveled—the one that was overgrown, the one that had bushes everywhere. When we came out and got back to the car, I checked my legs, and found that I had a few new friends. Several ticks were stuck to my leg, sucking out my blood.
Not a big deal. I killed them, and then took one, placed it in a ziplock bag, and saved it, just in case I needed to have it tested if I started to develop symptoms of Lyme disease.
This experience sent me down a rabbit hole of research, looking into the symptoms of Lyme disease as well as its origins. That research led me to a very unexpected place.
There is a credible body of research that suggests Lyme disease didn’t come about naturally, but rather that it was accidentally released into the wild by the federal government. Right off the bat, I’ll tell you there is no 100 percent definitive proof that this is the case.
But the evidence that does exist paints a fairly compelling picture—compelling enough that the current sitting director of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), Jay Bhattacharya, recently said, “It is possible (and perhaps likely, though not proven) that the emergence and spread of Lyme disease may have been caused by this research program, which included large open-air testing of intentionally infected ticks on U.S. soil.”
When you have the director of America’s NIH saying this, it obviously can’t be ignored.
So, let me present to you the full story here, and then you can make up your own mind as to whether it’s believable or not.

Right now, our friendly neighbors to the north (in the Canadian Province of Alberta) are in the process of breaking away from Canada.
The first major milestone has already been achieved—a referendum will be put to the people later this month. Meaning, on Monday, Oct. 19, of this year, the people of Alberta will be asked whether the province should remain in Canada or begin the process of secession.
Alberta is often referred to as the “Texas of Canada.” It has a lot of oil production. Politically, it’s very conservative. And it has a strong ranching/cowboy culture.
Also, it borders the United States, specifically Montana.
So the question now becomes twofold: first, will the majority of people in Alberta choose to secede, and second, if they do, will Alberta become its own sovereign nation—or will it become the 51st state of America?
Which might sound far-fetched, but, given the current makeup of the U.S. federal government, it might actually not be.
During his 2nd term in office, President Donald Trump has repeatedly referred to Canada as an American state. But realistically, in a real-politick sense, Trump would probably not actually want liberal Canada as a new state.
But what if, instead of the whole pie, America just gets the conservative, oil-rich province of Alberta?
And so today, let’s go through why so many Albertans want to secede, how it would actually work under Canadian law, what the likelihood of success is, and then, lastly, if it goes through, the likelihood of Alberta becoming the 51st state.

If you happen to love cereal, then there is something that you should know. Recently, there have been some positive developments within the Make America Healthy Again movement’s effort to improve the safety and quality of American cereals.
Specifically, Kellogg’s announced that by the end of this year, all of their cereals will be free from petroleum-based artificial food dyes. Meaning, brands like Froot Loops and Apple Jacks are giving up their unrealistically vibrant colors.
Fear not, though, as they’ve apparently found a way to substitute these petroleum-based food dyes that they’ve been using for years with food coloring from natural sources.
Which kind of just raises the question—if it was really so easy, why didn’t they do it sooner?
Let’s go through the details together.
