• Another Jump in Astrophysics: Early Galaxies Challenging Dark Matter Models, The field of astrophysics has always been rife with surprising discoveries, and the latest findings from cutting-edge telescope data are no exception. Recent observations have cast doubt on some long-held assumptions about the formation of the early universe, leading scientists to question whether our current cosmological models, including the standard ΛCDM (Lambda Cold Dark Matter) model, truly represent the intricacies of cosmic evolution.

    A Glimpse into Early Galaxies

    Data from advanced telescopes, like the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), has shown that early galaxies, formed less than a billion years after the Big Bang, were much larger and more luminous than previously believed possible. According to traditional models, galaxies were expected to grow more gradually, accruing mass and light over billions of years. The revelation that such massive and bright galaxies existed so early in the universe’s history has prompted a reevaluation of the ΛCDM model.

    The Standard ΛCDM Model: A Quick Overview

    The ΛCDM model is a mathematical framework that has long been the backbone of Big Bang cosmology. It consists of three main components:

    A cosmological constant (Λ): This represents dark energy, an enigmatic force driving the accelerated expansion of the universe.

    Cold dark matter (CDM): Hypothetical matter that does not emit or interact with electromagnetic radiation, explaining the unseen mass that affects gravitational forces on large scales.

    Ordinary matter: The familiar atoms and particles that make up stars, planets, and everything else visible in the universe.

    This model is referred to as the standard model of cosmology because it is the simplest and most comprehensive framework that has so far provided a reasonable explanation for a wide range of astronomical observations, from the cosmic microwave background to the distribution of galaxies.

    Early Challenges and New Theories

    However, the discovery of unexpectedly large and bright early galaxies implies that our models might be missing key details about the dynamics of the early universe. If galaxies formed so rapidly after the Big Bang, alternative explanations may be necessary. These might include modifications to our understanding of gravitational interactions on cosmic scales or the introduction of new interactions between particles that do not fit into the current ΛCDM framework.

    Some astrophysicists are exploring models that propose dark matter behaves differently in the presence of extreme conditions, while others suggest entirely new mechanisms that accelerate the process of galaxy formation. These theories challenge the conventional narrative by suggesting that dark matter might not be a universal constant, or that additional factors, such as modified gravity theories, might come into play.

    The Future of Cosmological Exploration

    As these observations continue to be studied and debated, it is clear that our current cosmological models may need to be updated or expanded to align with this unexpected data. The insights gained from the JWST and similar telescopes will undoubtedly continue to push the boundaries of our understanding, leading to new theories that could redefine our comprehension of the universe’s origins and its early development.

    The journey of discovery is far from over, and the universe, as always, holds more mysteries yet to be revealed. Whether these findings lead to small adjustments in the ΛCDM model or prompt the development of entirely new paradigms, one thing is certain: astrophysics is entering an exciting new chapter.

  • Land Acknowledgments Are Democratic Party’s New Pledge of Allegiance
    https://www.dailysignal.com/2024/08/22/land-acknowledgments-are-democratic-partys-new-pledge-allegiance/?utm_source=TDS_Email&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=MorningBell&mkt_tok=ODI0LU1IVC0zMDQAAAGVIyjK0pUHBeyLQuOI3U2GBJbMYobM2B9DOkGPUomt9KAqBvBGVx-regUMf0X6dAcYOCYJl0HBzx0w2Vel5pTItEEQ1LEjKnMG2HudcbWIrD8qV47WQw

    The Democratic Party has fully embraced the far-left’s ideological framework of America.

    Democrats released their 2024 party platform this week during the Democratic National Convention. It was a sloppy mess in many places with frequent references to President Joe Biden’s “second term”—21 references by my count.

    Though as I’ve written previously, we are probably headed for more of the same with Vice President Harris in the White House anyway. The presidency is becoming the ceremonial head of a vast, unaccountable bureaucratic leviathan, after all.

    The Daily Signal depends on the support of readers like you. Donate now

    The sloppiness of the Democrat platform and the DNC as a whole is certainly noteworthy. But much more important is the ideological drift of the party.

    In case you didn’t know what the Democratic Party most fervently stands for, the very first thing in its platform was a “land acknowledgment.”

    A land acknowledgment is a performative ceremony used by institutions under the full sway of the church of wokeness. It essentially lists the various Indian tribes that assumedly passed through the land the group is standing on at the time.

    It has become the Left’s substitution for the Pledge of Allegiance. The concept is, frankly, absurd. It’s as pointless as walking into your newly purchased home and listing off the names of all the previous owners, renters, visitors, and squatters.

    The land acknowledgment assumption is that the tribes are gone because of the mean, rapacious United States. Though the actual history is typically far more complicated.

    For instance, the Black Hills in South Dakota have been occupied by countless tribes, and not just the Lakota. The Lakota “stole” the land from the Cheyanne just a few decades before the United States acquired the region. And there are countless other tribes that could claim time in the Black Hills, too.

    The Left wants to reduce this all to a morality play about the assumed moral superiority of the tribes and the greediness of the United States.

    What land acknowledgments represent is less a simple recitation of history and more a statement of faith that you believe the United States, the original Constitution, and all this country was built on are illegitimate. It’s a corollary to the Left’s war on history.

    The Left wants you to believe that America was built on oppression. It was built on slavery and dispossessing land. In their minds, the ill-gotten fruits of these injustices will be rectified when the country first renounces its past, and second, when resources are allocated to victims.

  • DO POLICE SWEAR AN OATH TO THE CONSTITUTION?

    Sure they do, they are REQUIRED to do it before they can become a #Police officer.

    The problem is they've never READ the #Constitution,
    so how are they supposed to "Protect and Defend" it???
    I'm serious here.

    This is a good read
    And for once, it's not just me saying it! LOL

    Excerpt
    While the Constitutional framework addresses the exercises of power permitted under it, it has been assuming more powers that are not constitutionally-based in response to public demands for “action” to specific instances. Without the adaptation of spelled out amendments, these requested powers may not be legitimate and serve purposes that were never intended by the original legislation, based in part on the mechanisms of court outcomes that may be biased. As an officer of the law, any order received that is contrary to the Constitution of the U.S. or of your State is illegal. Compliance with such an order is not required, but may be and probably is illegal, and the issuance of such an order may be a crime, which obligates a law enforcement officer to make an arrest of the person issuing it.

  • The #Truth is the TRUTH whether you like it or not!

    #Police have only ONE real job!
    And that is to "Protect and defend the Constitution and the PEOPLE of the United States and their property!

    PERIOD!

    Nobody said shit about "Officer Safety"
    Their JOB and sworn duty, that they swear an #Oath to do is to...
    "Protect and defend the Constitution"

    Which includes "Protecting and Defending the
    Inalienable Human Rights of EVERY AMERICAN"

    You know.... protect those pesky Americans that Police keep shooting 47 times in the back for "Officer Safety" reasons

    "Officer Safety" is a code for "Be a tyrant and a coward"
    NOBODY'S LIFE MATTERS BUT YOUR OWN!

    Police take a dangerous job.....
    They are SUPPOSED to know this going into it!

    Under NO CIRCUMSTANCES should an American who has NOT been convicted of a crime be shot by Police for ANY REASON short of them AIMING A FIREARM AT THAT COP!

    Filling Americans full of holes for pulling up their pants is unacceptable! As is claiming "I saw him reaching for something"

    UNLESS SHOTS HAVE BEEN FIRED AT POLICE
    they have ZERO LEGITIMATE AUTHORITY to even draw their weapon.

    Their JOB is to PROTECT the Americans
    they continue MURDERING in the name of "Officer Safety"

    You panty waist little PUNKS!
    You have BODY ARMOR on, a gun, a taser, and YHWH only knows what else! WHY in Heaven's name are scared like a little bitch?

    MAYBE it's because YOU KNOW how #Evil your behavior is!
    MAYBE it's because you spend your days trying to CAGE the people you swore an oath to protect!

    MAYBE you are scared because you know that you DESERVE to be put down like the rabid, tyrant dog you are.....

    Or MAYBE it's because the #Luciferians who run the CORPORATION you work for have trained you to be an ENEMY of all of mankind....

    And somewhere deep down you KNOW
    that is exactly what you have become!

    I have a suggestion for you ALL
    GO READ THE SOLEMN OATH YOU SWORE TO UPHOLD
    before you were allowed to become a Police Officer

    Read every word of it!
    If you cannot recite the Constitution,
    HOW CAN YOU PROTECT AND DEFEND IT?

    Oath.
    State and local police generally swear an oath to the United States Constitution, as civil service or uniformed service officers, stating: “I, officer name, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.” This section does not affect other oaths required by law.

    Language may include “… to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States [and of your state] against all enemies, foreign or domestic” so that state agencies are specifically named. This oath may be tested in an officer’s personal and professional life as evidenced by the increases in police brutality claims nationwide.

    Constitutional framework.
    While the Constitutional framework addresses the exercises of power permitted under it, it has been assuming more powers that are not constitutionally-based in response to public demands for “action” to specific instances. Without the adaptation of spelled out amendments, these requested powers may not be legitimate and serve purposes that were never intended by the original legislation, based in part on the mechanisms of court outcomes that may be biased. As an officer of the law, any order received that is contrary to the Constitution of the U.S. or of your State is illegal. Compliance with such an order is not required, but may be and probably is illegal, and the issuance of such an order may be a crime, which obligates a law enforcement officer to make an arrest of the person issuing it.

    Federal law.
    Under federal law, 18 USC 242, it is illegal for anyone under the color of law to deprive any person of the rights, privileges or immunities secured by the U.S. Constitution, and under 18 USC 241 it is illegal to conspire to violate such rights. It is a felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison. This could be applied to local, state, or federal law enforcement or military personnel who abuse the rights of citizens. Every state has a similar law.

    If officers were to act in accordance with the oath they take when being sworn into civil service positions, the incidence of police misconduct and brutality might be decreased, in consideration of criminal prosecution for violations of U.S. Constitutional law that include police action against a citizen’s:

    4thAmendment right to be free from unreasonable government searches and seizures;
    8thAmendment right for inmates to live free from cruel and unusual punishments;
    14thAmendment right to live free from excessive force while detained by the police.
    Police brutality attorneys are well-versed in constitutional law and are often a good resource when citizens feel that a law officer has acted with brutality or in a way that constitutes misconduct against the oath they swore to uphold as police

  • THE ORIGIN OF COMPULSORY SCHOOLING

    “In our dream we have limitless resources, and the people yield themselves with perfect docility to our molding hand. The present educational conventions fade from our minds; and, unhampered by tradition, we work our own good will upon a grateful and responsive rural folk. We shall not try to make these people or any of their children into philosophers or men of learning or of science. We are not to raise up among them authors, orators, poets, or men of letters. We shall not search for embryo great artists, painters, musicians. Nor will we cherish even the humbler ambition to raise up from among them lawyers, doctors, preachers, statesmen, of whom we now have ample supply.”

    - Rev. Frederick T. Gates, Business Advisor to John D. Rockefeller Sr., 1913 [1]

    The current American school system took root around the turn of the century. In 1903, John D. Rockefeller founded the General Education Board, which provided major funding for schools across the country and was especially active in promoting the State-controlled public school movement.


    Rockefeller Education Board, 1915

    The General Education Board was not interested in encouraging critical thinking. Rather, its focus was on organizing children and creating reliable, predictable, obedient citizens. As award-winning former teacher John Gatto puts it, “school was looked upon from the first part of the 20th Century as a branch of industry and a tool of governance.” The Rockefellers, along with other financial elite and their philanthropic organizations (such as the Gates, Carnegies, and Vanderbilts) have been able to mold society by funding and pushing compulsory state schooling for the masses.

    Here’s a timeline to show the radical shift in education and the influence of the financial elite.

    Pre 1840: Literacy Rates High, Schools Predominantly Private and Locally Controlled

    Up until the 1840’s, the American school system was mainly private, decentralized, and home schooling was common. Americans were well educated and literacy rates were high.

    1852: Massachusetts Passes First Mandatory Attendance Law

    1902: John D. Rockefeller Creates the General Education Board

    At the ultimate cost of $129 million, the General Education Board provided major funding for schools across the nation and was very influential in shaping the current school system.

    1905: Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching is Founded

    1906: NEA Becomes a Federally Chartered Association

    1913: Frederick T. Gates, Director of Charity for the Rockefeller Foundation, Writes “In our dream…the people yield themselves with perfect docility to our molding hand”

    Frederick T. Gates wrote in The Country School of Tomorrow, Occasional Papers Number 1:

    “In our dream we have limitless resources, and the people yield themselves with perfect docility to our molding hand. The present educational conventions fade from our minds; and, unhampered by tradition, we work our own good will upon a grateful and responsive rural folk. We shall not try to make these people or any of their children into philosophers or men of learning or of science. We are not to raise up among them authors, orators, poets, or men of letters. We shall not search for embryo great artists, painters, musicians. Nor will we cherish even the humbler ambition to raise up from among them lawyers, doctors, preachers, statesmen, of whom we now have ample supply.”

    1914: National Education Association (NEA) Alarmed by the Activity of the Carnegie and Rockefeller Foundations

    At an annual meeting in St. Paul Minnesota, a resolution was passed by the Normal School Section of the NEA. An excerpt stated:

    “We view with alarm the activity of the Carnegie and Rockefeller Foundations — agencies not in any way responsible to the people — in their efforts to control the policies of our State educational institutions, to fashion after their conception and to standardize our courses of study, and to surround the institutions with conditions which menace true academic freedom and defeat the primary purpose of democracy as heretofore preserved inviolate in our common schools, normal schools, and universities.”

    1917: NEA Reorganizes and Moves to Washington DC

    The NEA is the largest labor union in the U.S., representing public school teachers and other school faculty and staff. It generally opposes merit pay, school vouchers, accountability reforms, and more.

    1918: Every State Requires Students to Complete Elementary School

    1932: “Eight Year Study” — Largely funded by Carnegie Corporation of New York and the General Education Board

    This laid the groundwork for education reform and the schooling system we have today.

    1946: Rockefeller Foundation grants the General Education Board $7.5 billion

    1953: Reece Committee of the US House of Representatives Reveals Agenda of Carnegie Endowment and Rockefeller Foundation on Education

    “It seems incredible that the trustees of typically American fortune-created foundations should have permitted them to be used to finance ideas and practices incompatible with the fundamental concepts of our Constitution. Yet there seems evidence that this may have occurred.”

    THE ORIGIN OF COMPULSORY SCHOOLING “In our dream we have limitless resources, and the people yield themselves with perfect docility to our molding hand. The present educational conventions fade from our minds; and, unhampered by tradition, we work our own good will upon a grateful and responsive rural folk. We shall not try to make these people or any of their children into philosophers or men of learning or of science. We are not to raise up among them authors, orators, poets, or men of letters. We shall not search for embryo great artists, painters, musicians. Nor will we cherish even the humbler ambition to raise up from among them lawyers, doctors, preachers, statesmen, of whom we now have ample supply.” - Rev. Frederick T. Gates, Business Advisor to John D. Rockefeller Sr., 1913 [1] The current American school system took root around the turn of the century. In 1903, John D. Rockefeller founded the General Education Board, which provided major funding for schools across the country and was especially active in promoting the State-controlled public school movement. Rockefeller Education Board, 1915 The General Education Board was not interested in encouraging critical thinking. Rather, its focus was on organizing children and creating reliable, predictable, obedient citizens. As award-winning former teacher John Gatto puts it, “school was looked upon from the first part of the 20th Century as a branch of industry and a tool of governance.” The Rockefellers, along with other financial elite and their philanthropic organizations (such as the Gates, Carnegies, and Vanderbilts) have been able to mold society by funding and pushing compulsory state schooling for the masses. Here’s a timeline to show the radical shift in education and the influence of the financial elite. Pre 1840: Literacy Rates High, Schools Predominantly Private and Locally Controlled Up until the 1840’s, the American school system was mainly private, decentralized, and home schooling was common. Americans were well educated and literacy rates were high. 1852: Massachusetts Passes First Mandatory Attendance Law 1902: John D. Rockefeller Creates the General Education Board At the ultimate cost of $129 million, the General Education Board provided major funding for schools across the nation and was very influential in shaping the current school system. 1905: Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching is Founded 1906: NEA Becomes a Federally Chartered Association 1913: Frederick T. Gates, Director of Charity for the Rockefeller Foundation, Writes “In our dream…the people yield themselves with perfect docility to our molding hand” Frederick T. Gates wrote in The Country School of Tomorrow, Occasional Papers Number 1: “In our dream we have limitless resources, and the people yield themselves with perfect docility to our molding hand. The present educational conventions fade from our minds; and, unhampered by tradition, we work our own good will upon a grateful and responsive rural folk. We shall not try to make these people or any of their children into philosophers or men of learning or of science. We are not to raise up among them authors, orators, poets, or men of letters. We shall not search for embryo great artists, painters, musicians. Nor will we cherish even the humbler ambition to raise up from among them lawyers, doctors, preachers, statesmen, of whom we now have ample supply.” 1914: National Education Association (NEA) Alarmed by the Activity of the Carnegie and Rockefeller Foundations At an annual meeting in St. Paul Minnesota, a resolution was passed by the Normal School Section of the NEA. An excerpt stated: “We view with alarm the activity of the Carnegie and Rockefeller Foundations — agencies not in any way responsible to the people — in their efforts to control the policies of our State educational institutions, to fashion after their conception and to standardize our courses of study, and to surround the institutions with conditions which menace true academic freedom and defeat the primary purpose of democracy as heretofore preserved inviolate in our common schools, normal schools, and universities.” 1917: NEA Reorganizes and Moves to Washington DC The NEA is the largest labor union in the U.S., representing public school teachers and other school faculty and staff. It generally opposes merit pay, school vouchers, accountability reforms, and more. 1918: Every State Requires Students to Complete Elementary School 1932: “Eight Year Study” — Largely funded by Carnegie Corporation of New York and the General Education Board This laid the groundwork for education reform and the schooling system we have today. 1946: Rockefeller Foundation grants the General Education Board $7.5 billion 1953: Reece Committee of the US House of Representatives Reveals Agenda of Carnegie Endowment and Rockefeller Foundation on Education “It seems incredible that the trustees of typically American fortune-created foundations should have permitted them to be used to finance ideas and practices incompatible with the fundamental concepts of our Constitution. Yet there seems evidence that this may have occurred.” -Norman Dodd, Director of Research, Special Committee to Investigate Tax-Exempt Foundations, 1954 [2] 1968: Edith Roosevelt’s Article “The Foundation Machine” Indicts Carnegie Funded Textbooks Carnegie funded “Programmed Textbooks” were distributed to “culturally deprived areas.” Edith Roosevelt stated that “these young children are being indoctrinated with a pattern of anti-social ideas that will completely and violently alienate them from the mainstream of American middle-class values.” 1979: US Department of Education Created 1986: Carnegie Teaching Panel Charts New Teacher Framework & Provides $900,000 in Grants for Reforms 2003: 14% of American Adults are Illiterate The National Assessment of Adult Literacy (NAAL) administered tests which revealed 14% of US residents would have extreme difficulty with reading and written comprehension.

  • Slovakia before Austro-Hungarian Empire
    - May 15, 2024
    Before becoming part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the territory that is now Slovakia was historically part of various kingdoms and empires. Here's an overview of Slovakia's history before the Austro-Hungarian Empire:



    Early History: The region of present-day Slovakia has been inhabited since ancient times. It was settled by Celtic tribes, followed by Germanic, Slavic, and later Hungarian peoples. The Slavic tribes that settled in the area eventually formed the foundation of what would become the Slovak nation.



    Great Moravian Empire (9th-10th Century): In the 9th century, the territory of present-day Slovakia was part of the Great Moravian Empire, a Slavic state that played a crucial role in the history of the region. Great Moravia was a significant power in Central Europe and had a strong cultural and religious influence, especially through the work of Saints Cyril and Methodius, who introduced Christianity and the Old Church Slavonic language.



    Kingdom of Hungary (11th Century): In the late 10th and early 11th centuries, the Kingdom of Hungary emerged and gradually extended its control over the territory of present-day Slovakia. The Hungarians, also known as Magyars, established their rule and exerted influence over the region for several centuries.



    Part of the Hungarian Kingdom: Throughout the medieval period, Slovakia remained part of the Hungarian Kingdom. It was administered as part of the Kingdom's counties, with Hungarian nobility and feudal structures dominating political and economic life.



    Part of the Habsburg Monarchy (16th-17th Century): Slovakia came under Habsburg (Austrian) rule during the early modern period. The Habsburgs gradually expanded their influence over Hungary and its territories, including Slovakia. The region experienced conflicts and upheavals, including the Ottoman wars and Reformation movements.



    Habsburg Rule and Integration: By the 18th century, the Habsburg Monarchy consolidated control over Hungary and its territories, including Slovakia. The region became an integral part of the Habsburg Empire, which later transformed into the Austro-Hungarian Empire in 1867.



    Industrialization and Modernization: During the 19th century, Slovakia underwent industrialization and economic development within the framework of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The economy shifted from predominantly agricultural to industrial, with mining and manufacturing becoming important sectors.



    It's important to note that the history of Slovakia is intertwined with that of neighboring regions and kingdoms, especially Hungary and the Czech lands. The transition from the medieval period to modern times saw significant political, cultural, and economic changes that shaped the identity of the Slovak people and their place within larger European contexts.
