This is appalling. The problem isn’t entertaining ET hypotheses, it’s making absurd claims backed by atrocious statistical analyses that misinform and scare the public. One part in a billion and 40% are both less than 0.5, so they’re basically the same thing. Come on. 🧪⚛️

Peace is not found in big moments. It is found in the small ones we often overlook. True peace comes from being present, embracing silence, and appreciating everyday moments without constantly expecting the next crisis. 🎥 Full video — https://www.youtube.com/@StaceyChillemiAdvisor
美联储前主席鲍威尔在接受肯尼迪图书馆基金会颁发的肯尼迪奖时,警告政治权力可能被滥用。 他说:作为美国人,我们受到一种信念的驱使,那就是自由与民主极大地促进了人类自我价值的实现。 维护和巩固我们自身民主的工作,可能会充满喧嚣,有时令人沮丧,甚至陷入四面楚歌的境地。在繁荣的民主政体中,党派之间的政治分歧是正常的,甚至可以说是必不可少的。 但是,在捍卫定义我们国家的更高原则上,我们应当团结一致。其中首要的原则就是对法治的尊重。 正如约翰·亚当斯所写:“我们的政府是一个法治的政府,而非人治的政府。”

If you need gas today, June 1, 2026, would be a good day to buy some because gas prices will continue to increase now that Iran has cut off talks with the US and are not only keeping the Strait of Hormuz closed but may seek to close the Bab al-Mandeb Strait.
