In case you wanted to see the proof…

Here is fact-based-evidence that humans are evolving in real time, right in plain view, and in our lifetime. 

The story is that the people living in the Himalayas have adapted to the lower-oxygen environment in this mountainous region. 
Children are being born with the ability for their blood to carry enough hemoglobin to support their regular function. Whereas those of us who live much closer to sea level can not survive in that environment for long periods. 

Please, tell me again how humans haven't adapted and evolved based on environmental factors. 

Ahem. I'll say it again slowly so mouth breathers can get it. Human evolution has happened. And is happening. Every. Day.

About air force one.

A few years ago, the pentagon was preparing plans to replace air force one.  This is something that has happened several times in the past; the planes used to ferry the president have a life span and they do get replaced.

So during the Biden administration, the pentagon talked with Boeing about a replacement aircraft.  Boeing, being the only US-based airplane company capable of creating an aircraft of that size, said this was going to be a problem.  As you know, Boeing has been having some quality issues and are waaaay behind on orders. 

So they suggested around 10 Boeing aircraft that had been sold around the world, with a smaller number of flight hours, that were for sale, and which might serve as a frame that could be built on to make it suitable for Air Force one.

The pentagon investigated that list and narrowed in on one aircraft: the 747 that Qatar owned as a luxury aircraft and were willing to sell to the US government.  

And then T-rump comes along and starts grifting.  He visits Qatar and they show him the aircraft. He proudly announces that it's a gift, and it's luxurious. And he wants it!

The problems with his statements are many.  But there is no evidence to support they were "giving it away"… that's what he said.  And surely they let him think that, in exchange for whatever they want in return. 

…and everyone lost their minds about this airplane.  So many opinions that had no substance. 

And then this week, the pentagon closed a deal to acquire the aircraft. No mention of the cost, whether it's a gift, and so on.  And the media just runs with it, because what do they care? They have a bias and they let that run…

It will take years for this aircraft to be ready to fly as air force one.  And when it does, it will look nothing like it does now.  The luxury part that dingleberry talked about won't exist.

But it was all just a part of the normal activity.  That got blown out of proportion because he said something stupid (I know, par for the course). 

A space elevator to the Moon is now within reach thanks to modern technology

This has been a theoretical dream for as long as man has been trying to reach space.  And now, it come closer to reality with some novel thinking…could a space elevator be anchored to the moon, rather than to earth?

The Devil they Knew: Chemical Documents Analysis of Industry Influence on PFAS Science

Would you look at that? DuPont and 3M knew that they're were creating dangerous chemicals, documented that, and then hid it from everyone. 

All the while reaping huge profits!

Owners of 'dangerous' dogs will need $100,000 liability insurance under newly signed law • Florida Phoenix

The governor puts on his stupid smile and signs a law about dog owners who need to carry liability insurance. 

But hey, gun owners. You're good. That's just insanity. 

How is this okay?

The sitting president of the United States held a "private event" - which we know because it was made clear that he was acting as a private citizen and not in an official capacity, so that he would not have to reveal who was in attendance. 

First of all, that's an absurd thing to say. Everything he does is somewhat public. And because there were people from other countries in attendance then this should be classified as a state function. 

Second, the event itself is problematic. It was all about his own crypto currency. The invitees were his "biggest investors."  This raises many questions about them exchanging money for access to him. This violates the emoluments clause, which I remind you says

"No Title of Nobility shall be granted by the United States: And no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State."

I'm sure that someone - perhaps the DOJ - will try and tell us some loophole. But are we honestly expected to believe that a group of foreign nationals came to this country, invested in his crypto nonsense, and didn't ask - or won't ask in the future - for something in return in his official capacity?

It's another in a long string of him ignoring the constitution, and you turning a blind eye. 

The obvious question that remains is: what are you going to do about it?
