According to published reports, Eclipses occur because the moon’s orbital path intercepts what astronomers call the ecliptic—the apparent path the sun takes through our daytime sky. Crucially, it will do so while seeming smaller in the sky (because it’s at apogee). It will therefore block only the center of the sun, causing an annulusor ring around the new moon.

The Republicans once believed in liberty, economic prosperity, preserving, values, traditions, and restoring the American dream.

That was way back when and for days of future past, but today these party policies have gone wild, crazy while stupidity reigns as they have sold their souls to Satan who seeks to achieve destructive goals that are contrary to our American democracy.

As a US citizen, a New York City taxpayer, a longtime resident, and a fan of The Big Apple it stinks just to think that NYC sinks.

Localized uplift, widespread subsidence, and implications for sea level rise in the New York City metropolitan area. Regional relative sea level rise is exacerbating flooding hazards in the coastal zone. In addition to changes in the ocean, vertical land motion (VLM) is a driver of spatial variation in sea level change that can either diminish or enhance flood risk.

BANKRUPT DONALD?

A New York State Supreme Court's Appellate Division has denied Donald Trump’s motion to delay his 259 million fraud trial.

His efforts to delay and deny the wheels of Justice may be ending as Donald’s business assets are expected to be liquidated without a state license. Judge Barbara Jones will monitor the assets, an arrangement not unlike the court-supervised liquidation of a bankrupt company or the assets of a drug lord.

A damaged peach with a seed inside that is rotten to the core. Brownish rot is a fungus Monilinia, infecting blossoms and shoots. 

A bad peach will have a rotten smell. Also, a bad peach can attract insects and fungi and ruin the entire batch.

ON ORDERS FROM THEIR LEADER Mad Vlad Putin, who is Trump's puppet master. In turn, Donal Duck has forced his  House #MAGARepublicans to desperately try to create or make up a case for the impeachment inquiry of JOE BIDEN. Meanwhile, POTUS calls it a baseless stunt.
