How Tiny Satellites Are Changing The Way We Do Business

As the private space industry sends more nanosatellites into orbit, new data is shaping American farmland, Arctic shipping routes, and everything in between. Fast Company | Kim Lightbody Eye in the sky: A satellite from Planet captured a fire burning through one of the circular crop fields in the Toshka area of Egypt last year. Photo courtesy of Planet Space is a lot closer than it used to be. Companies like Planet and Spire are sending more satellites into orbit than ever before, providing an unprecedented near-real-time view of of every corner of the earth, from wheat fields in Egypt to glaciers in Antarctica . Here are five ways that companies are using this constant stream of data and images to bring more transparency and efficiency to different industries here on the ground. Agriculture A number of companies use satellite imagery to predict annual farm yields—mostly focusing on major crops like wheat, corn and soy—and produce estimations

A Brief History of Impeachment

-- by Matthew Dunnyveg Right now, liberals are trying frantically and hysterically to impeach Trump for telling the Ukrainians to keep a close eye on the actions of Joe Biden's son, Hunter Biden, who has been engaged in corrupt activities.  This is after trying to nail Trump unsuccessfull on two other matters: His relationship with the Russians that liberals haven't been able to show is criminal, or even untoward. The second account involves the conviction of Manafort and the "flipping" of Cohen on paying former paramours for their silence. The problem is that paying off former paramours for their silence is hardly an illegal act, at least the way Trump is alleged to have done so.  The question is when does a witch hunt become a witch hunt for liberals?   Unfortunately, neither situation is unique in history. Impeachment clauses exist in the federal, and all state constitutions, to remove from office officials guilty of "high crimes and misdemeanors&qu

THE VAMPIRE JESUS FRIDAY NIGHT MOVIE! TONIGHT'S FEATURE - FORTRESS (2012)

Image
FORTRESS stars actors Bug Hall, Donnie Jeffcoat, Sean McGowan and Joseph Williamson. It relates the story of a B-17F crew in the Mediterranean Theater of Operations in the summer of 1943. This movie isn't too bad, except for the ludicrous idea of distilling ethanol from gasoline and actually drinking it. In those days Avgas was laced with tetraethyl lead, and the boiling points of both are so goddamn close that it would be insanity to attempt such an effort under field conditions. Even vacuum distillation would be damn risky unless the temperature was constantly monitored, and even then, I'd never drink such with a gun to my head. That said, the CGI is fair, perhaps it shouldn't have been so sharp, but the attention to detail in the cockpit is remarkable. Oh, and regardless of the YouTube title, Fortress is not a true story, other than the fact that B-17s were deployed in the European/Mediterranean Theaters of Operations.

Whistleblower Story Implodes: Gov’t Official Specifically Calls Part of Story False, Other Claims Fall Apart

Image
This is what happens when you are forced by the far left to start impeachment when you do not have the facts.  Word is that Pelosi is so angry that she refused several pressers.  Do not blame her.  The fab four idiots just make absolute fools of themselves and pretty much set the table for even more GOP wins this next election. Nancy knew better and tried to hold the whole impeachment process for getting underway.  As she is no longer in control of her party the kids playing at politics ran themselves right over the cliff.   Americans will not stand for another Russia Gate.  The bought the story and now have 14 months to live with it.  The Democrats have now tried to impeach every Republican president since Nixon.  No surprised because liberals refuse to believe any viewpoint except theres.  And that is just sad! ********************************* One of the major problems with the whistleblower complaint that some in the mainstream media are glossing over is that the person

AG Bill Barr IS NOT Investigating Biden Crime Family’s Billion Dollar Pay-for-Play Operation — WHY THE HELL NOT?

Image
In his 2018 book,  Secret Empires: How the American Political Class Hides Corruption and Enriches Family and Friends   Peter Schweizer revealed how the Biden family secured a billion-dollar China deal just days after former Vice President Joe Biden visited China in 2013. The Clintons aren’t the only ones securing huge contracts with foreign governments off their political status! The Biden bombshell is one of many revealed in a new investigative book  Secret Empires:  How the American Political Class Hides Corruption and Enriches Family and Friends  by Government Accountability Institute President and Breitbart News Senior Editor-at-Large Peter Schweizer. Schweizer’s last book,  Clinton Cash , sparked an FBI investigation into the Clinton Foundation. According to an exclusive  New York Post  excerpt from the book, the Biden billion-dollar China deal occurred as follows. In 2013, Hunter Biden was managing partner in the private equity firm Rosemont Seneca Partners. The Chin

Pelosi: Impeachment inquiry to focus on whistleblower complaint against Trump

House Democrats’ impeachment inquiry will zero in on the whistleblower complaint against President Trump, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi confi rmed Thursday. She said allegations that spurred previous impeachment calls, including accusations the Trump 2016 campaign colluded with Russia and that the president obstructed justice with attempts to thwart special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia probe, would take a back seat. For now, congressional Democrats are focusing on a whistleblower allegation that Mr. Trump pressured Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to dig up dirt on former Vice President Joseph R. Biden and his son Hunter. “The consensus in our caucus is that our focus now is on this allegation,” Mrs. Pelosi told reporters. “This is the focus of the moment because this is the charge. All of the other work that remains … those things will be considered later.” News reports about the whistleblower complaint triggered a tidal wave of support for impeachment among De

Trump vs. Iran — How did Trump become the villain?

Image
A question that we should be asking ourselves.  It was done so well that most do not realize the press and Democratics almost got away with it. Of the numerous reasons Trump haters offer for their hatred of the President, the criticism over his withdrawal of the Iran deal is among the most difficult to follow. That these critics blame Donald Trump for Iran’s recent aggressive behavior is even more bizarre. Iran attacks oil tankers and bombs Saudi Arabian oil facilities and Trump becomes the villain? When Trump withdrew from the Iran deal last year, The New York Times editorialized: “When it comes to the danger of a nuclear arms race in the Middle East, there is no sign Iran or any of the other major powers in the existing and so far successful pact will simply fall in line with Mr. Trump’s notional new plan. More likely, his decision … will allow Iran to resume a robust nuclear program, sour relations with close European allies, erode America’s credibility, lay conditions for a

Our Solar System's Planets: Uranus

Image
Well, here is is, the planet whose name has made kids snicker for years - Uranus. Uranus is the seventh planet from the sun, and is the coldest planet in the Solar System. Why? Who knows, it just is. Its distance from the sun is 1.78 billion miles from the sun (2.8 billion km), and its diameter is 31,518 miles (50,724 km). It is also the only planet known to rotate on its side, having an axial tilt of 97 degrees. Due to its distance from the sun, it takes 84 years to complete one orbit, and the length of a day on Uranus is 17 hours and 14 minutes. I have actually seen Uranus is a telescope that I had many years back, when I was a teenager; astronomy is one of my favorite of studies. Anyway - enjoy the video, a gentleman named Alex McColgan is the creator of the planet videos I have been posting. You can pay him a visit if you like - he is using these videos to educate people and make money for himself, which is not a bad idea!

The Crisis Obama Let Go to Waste

Image
By Christopher Skeet Barack Obama's legacy is nothing if not consequential.  In his decades as "community organizer" among Chicago's poorest, most desperate neighborhoods, he did nothing other than perpetuate complete dependence on Big Brother.  His Affordable Care Act, and its accompanying criminal penalties for not engaging in commerce, scythed a mile-wide berth into the already frayed concept of a citizenry living free from government coercion.  More ominously, Obama was able to entwine his instinctive Marxism with a vision for America's path forward in a way his predecessors had been unable to.  The singular cunning of Obama was his success in realigning the "victim" hierarchy almost completely from class to race.  Free citizens in a market society can climb or descend the social ladder, but race remains a constant throughout.  Race is our most recognizable difference, no matter its superficial nature.  In the deepest recesses of

Our Solar System's Planets: Venus

Image
If any place in the Solar System is HELL - it is Venus. The planet Venus is 67 million miles (102 million kilometers) from the star Sol (the sun), and has a revolution period of 225 Earth days. Its rotation period is retrograde, and is so slow that one complete rotation period takes 243 days, which makes its day longer than its year. At 867 degrees Fahrenheit (463 Celsius) at the surface, the temperature is hot enough to melt lead, tin, zinc, cadmium, bismuth and tellurium, along with lesser known metals like gallium, which melts at a little above room temperature. Venus is not a place conducive to life as we know it, with a surface pressure of 92 bar and an atmosphere of 95.5% carbon dioxide, 3.5% nitrogen and 1% trace gases such as argon.  Venus is similar in size to the Earth, with a diameter of 12,104 kilometers (7,521 miles) with a mass equivalent to 82% of the Earth. Here is a video of our "sister planet" Venus - or as I think of Venus: "Earth gone horribly

Jeremy Corbyn’s brother Piers labels teen climate activist Greta Thunberg an ‘ignorant brainwashed child’

The older brother of Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has labelled 16-year-old environmental activist  Greta Thunberg  an “ignorant brainwashed child”. Piers Corbyn, 72 and a climate change sceptic who runs forecasting firm WeatherAction in south London tweeted: “listening to an ignorant brainwashed child is deranged.” Alongside the comment, Mr Corbyn reposted a BBC article titled “Teen tells UK politicians ‘listen to climate change scientists.” He added: “I am an actual scientist of physics, meteorology, astrophysics and climate and say Greta Thunberg is wrong and suffers mental abuse by manipulative adults.” https://www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/jeremy-corbyn-s-brother-labels-teen-climate-activist-greta-thunberg-an-ignorant-brainwashed-child-a4125046.html

What we have known about why Trump got elected. Beware exploding liberal heads!

When the ‘deep state’ hates Trump as much as the media The 2020 election is about credibility and prosperity By Daniel Gallington The “why” and “how” of Donald Trump’s 2016 election surprise resulted from very basic voter dissatisfaction with government — much of which had been “cooking” long before President Trump became a candidate for president. These same complaints were “cooking” — but without realization or even awareness — for the traditional Washington “establishments,” including the media, Congress, the DNC and, perhaps surprisingly, the RNC. And recall how few in “clueless” Washington took Mr. Trump’s 2016 run seriously. However, they learned — just like Hillary learned — that Mr. Trump was elected because working middle America had too long been taken for granted by establishment Washington. This in favor of endless wars and ever-enlarging welfare programs — while ignoring the basic principle of “it’s the economy, stupid.” Mr. Trump also had the audacity

The ongoing frenzy to media corruption knows no boundries

Media Corruption On Perfect Display In One Washington Post Paragraph Every single assertion of this paragraph isn't just wrong, but the opposite of right. In each sentence, Trump is being blamed for things his political opponents have done. September 23, 2019 ABC News’ White House correspondent Karen Travers approvingly tweeted out a paragraph of a front-page Washington Post rant written by Philip Rucker, Robert Costa, and Rachel Bade. The paragraph comes from their cri de coeur headlined “Trump’s Ukraine Call Reveals A President Convinced Of His Own Invincibility.” While the article matches the headline in its extreme bias and shrill outpouring of opinion — seemingly written by the Democratic National Committee’s newest batch of enthusiastic interns — it is presented as if it’s news, a common problem with our current media culture. Here’s the paragraph: This paragraph from @PhilipRucker @costareports @rachaelmbade … https://t.co/X43zpkrruo pic.twitt
