The United Kingdom was not formed until nearly 200 years after Henry VIII The United Kingdom was not formed until nearly 200 years after Henry VIII, the formation of the United Kingdom came much later than Henry VIII's reign. Early States in Great Britain: By the start of the 16th century, Great Britain consisted of two separate kingdoms: the Kingdom of England (which included Wales and controlled Ireland) and the Kingdom of Scotland. The once-independent Principality of Wales had fallen under English control since the Statute of Rhuddlan in 1284. Union of Crowns (1603): The accidental consequence of a royal marriage united England and Scotland in a personal union known as the Union of Crowns in 1603. However, full political union required a Treaty of Union in 1706 and the subsequent Acts of Union in 1707 to ratify the treaty. This marked the formation of the Kingdom of Great Britain. Acts of Union 1800: The Kingdom of Great Britain merged with the Kingdom of Ireland (gradually brought under English control between 1541 and 1691) to form the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland in 1801. Irish Independence and Name Change (1922-1927): The Irish Free State gained independence in 1922 following the partition of the island of Ireland. Six of the nine counties of the province of Ulster remained within the UK, which then changed its name to the current United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland in 1927. Devolution and Modern Times: In the 20th century, Welsh and Scottish nationalism, along with the resolution of the Troubles in Ireland, led to the establishment of devolved parliaments or assemblies for Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Wales.

Mike McDonnell has announced that he’s switching party affiliation from Democrat to Republican, citing his Christian faith and views on abortion. Mr. McDonnell made the announcement in an April 3 statement to local media outlets, citing the Democrat Party’s opposition to his pro-life stance. “When I ran for reelection in 2020 I was Pro-Life,” he said, adding that he’s Catholic and recalling that in 2016 he ran as a pro-life candidate for Nebraska’s legislative District 5. “I have asked the Democratic Party to respect my religious based Pro-Life position,” he continued. “Instead over the last year they have decided to punish me for being Pro-Life.” The Nebraska Democratic Party issued a statement in response to Mr. McDonnell’s party change, expressing “respect” for his work with the party while denying that the censure vote had anything to do with his pro-life views. Nebraska Gov. Jim Pillen, a Republican, showed a willingness on April 2 to back legislation that would potentially prevent President Joe Biden from getting one of the state’s electoral votes. He did this by endorsing a statewide “winner-takes-all” system that is likely to boost former President Donald Trump. Unlike every other U.S. state, only Nebraska and Maine assign Electoral College votes by district. A congressional district that centers around Omaha, the largest city in the state, has sometimes gone in favor of Democratic presidential candidates, including in 2020. However, if the state switched to a more standard system, Nebraska’s three electoral votes would likely all go to President Trump as the former president easily won the GOP-dominated state by wide margins in both 2016 and 2020.

The chocolate collected in the fields and eaten Today, most of the chocolate we eat comes from farms in Africa, which has a similar equatorial climate to Central and South America. West Africa, particularly countries like Ivory Coast, Ghana, Nigeria, and Cameroon, is the leading producer of cocoa beans, which are the primary ingredient in chocolate. The region's climate and soil conditions are well-suited for growing cocoa trees, which thrive in the warm, humid conditions found near the equator. Cocoa beans are harvested from these trees and then processed into various forms of chocolate that we enjoy today. The history of chocolate dates back to Mesoamerica, where fermented beverages made from cacao seeds were consumed as early as 1900 BCE to 1500 BCE. The Mexica people considered cacao seeds to be a valuable gift from the god of wisdom, Quetzalcoatl, and even used them as a form of currency. Initially, chocolate was prepared as a bitter drink mixed with spices or corn puree and was believed to have aphrodisiac properties and provide strength. Over time, sugar was added to chocolate, and it became popular in Europe, first among the ruling classes and later among the common people. In the 20th century, chocolate became an essential part of the rations for United States soldiers during wars The history of chocolate is a fascinating journey that spans thousands of years and involves ancient civilizations, cultural exchange, and evolving tastes. Let’s delve into the rich history of this beloved treat: Origins in Mesoamerica: Maya and Olmecs: The roots of chocolate can be traced back to the ancient Maya and even earlier to the Olmecs of southern Mexico. These civilizations were familiar with cacao trees and their fruit—the pods containing around 40 cacao beans. The Olmecs likely used cacao to create a ceremonial drink, although opinions differ on whether they used the beans or just the pulp of the cacao pod. Mayan Chocolate: The Maya revered chocolate, using it in celebrations, important transactions, and daily meals. Their chocolate was thick, frothy, and often combined with chili peppers, honey, or water. Aztec Adoration: The Aztecs believed that cacao was a divine gift. They enjoyed caffeinated hot or cold chocolate beverages in ornate containers and even used cacao beans as currency. Aztec chocolate, known as “xocolatl,” was considered more valuable than gold. The Aztec ruler Montezuma II was allegedly a fervent chocolate lover, consuming gallons of xocolatl daily for energy and as an aphrodisiac. European Transformation: Introduction to Europe: European explorers encountered chocolate during their travels in the New World. Initially, it remained a bitter beverage, but its popularity grew among European courts and colonial America. Sweet Evolution: Over time, sugar was added to chocolate, transforming it into the sweet, rich-tasting treat we know today. Chocolate became universally loved and widely consumed. Modern Era: Global Commodity: Chocolate’s journey continued through the centuries, becoming an essential part of our lives. From chocolate bars to truffles, it has become a global commodity enjoyed by people of all ages. In summary, chocolate’s history is a blend of ancient rituals, cultural significance, and delightful indulgence—a testament to human creativity and taste.

The Truth about Easter and when Jesus really rose... Jesus rose from the dead on the Sabbath around 3pm, not on Sunday. His tomb was found empty early on Sunday before the sun even rose, while it was still dark (John 20:1) which would be Saturday night in modern terms as near sunrise would not be early, it would be half way through Sunday. Scripture tells us that He died around 3pm (Mark 15:34), and given that He was dead three full 24 hour days (Matthew 12:40) that means He had to have risen around the same time or he would have been dead longer than three days and three nights, it would have been three days and four nights which is not what Scripture says. Scripture also states that He rose on the third day (1 Corinthians 15:4), so it had to have been Saturday as Sunday would have been the forth day. So then, if His tomb was empty already while it was still dark on Sunday, long before sunrise, but early and thus, just after sunset Saturday, that means He rose on Saturday, the real Sabbath shortly after 3pm. That also means He didn't die on Friday, but that He died on Wednesday, which was the preparation day before the high-day Sabbath (John 19:31) not the weekly Sabbath. The high-day Sabbath came up on a Thursday that year in 30AD (30AD was the only year that the feast of unleavened bread started on a Thursday, so that had to be the year He died on). Easter is the name of a Roman goddess of sex and fertility, that's where the symbols like rabbits come from and has nothing at all to do with Jesus. It is a pagan celebration which God says that He hates with all His being (Isaiah 1:14-15, Amos 5:21 & 23). ---- A more detailed analysis of when Jesus died and was raised according to scriptures. I wanted to show the full scriptures to really nail this down as He did not die on a Friday and He was not risen on a Sunday. Easter itself is the name of a Roman goddess of sex and fertility which is where all the symbols come from. But that's another topic... Let me take this one verse at a time... His tomb was found empty WHILE IT WAS STILL DARK... he didn't rise then, he was ALREADY out of it BEFORE the sun even rose. Also note that it was EARLY on the first day, WHILE IT WAS STILL DARK. The days, according to the Bible, start at sunset, so Sunday starts at sunset Saturday. So Early Sunday, while it was still dark would have to be what we would call Saturday night, as Sunday morning wouldn't be early, it would be half way through Sunday. This makes sense as Jesus died sometime around 3pm and was dead for three full days, so he had to have risen after that same time, or betweem 3pm and sunset, so his tomb was empty by sunset and Mary found it that way after dark. She no doubt waited until the Sabbath ended as she wouldn't want to do work (moving the stone) on the Sabbath... John 20:1 (NIV) Early on the first day of the week, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene went to the tomb and saw that the stone had been removed from the entrance. Jesus died around 3pm (9th hour of the day, and the daylight hours start around 6am)... Mark 15:34 (NIV) And at three in the afternoon Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?” (which means “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”). Jesus remained dead for three days and three nights (not three days and four nights) which means He HAD to have risen around the same hour... Matthew 12:40 (NIV) For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of a huge fish, so the Son of Man will be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. Scripture also states that He rose on the third day, so it had to have been on Saturday as Sunday would have been the forth day... 1 Corinthians 15:4 (NIV) that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures So given the fact that His tomb was empty before sunrise on Sunday, means He had to have risen around 3pm on Saturday before sunset to still be on the third day. And given the fact that he was dead for exactly 3 full days, means He had to have died around 3pm on a Wednesday before a holy day Sabbath, also called a "special Sabbath" or a "high day Sabbath". Not the weekly Sabbath. John 19:31 (NKJV) Therefore, because it was the Preparation Day, that the bodies should not remain on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was a high day), the Jews asked Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away. As an interesting side note, this all helps us determine which year Jesus died as only one year had the Passover on a Wednesday, which would have been 30AD.

Times have changed (Minimum wage was about $1.60) The federal minimum wage in the United States has remained at $7.25 per hour since 2009. However, many states have set their own higher minimum wage rates. For instance, as of 2024, California and Washington have some of the highest state minimum wages at $16.00 and $16.28 per hour, respectively ───── H ─────

Dr. Mary Talley Bowden on Ivermectin for vaccine injury: “I usually start them on ivermectin because it binds the spike protein. It has anti-inflammatory properties. It actually has 20 different mechanisms of action, and the reason I start with ivermectin, other than what’s written in the literature, but clinically, I’ve seen some patients with really severe rashes from these shots, and they’ve cleared up pretty dramatically with the ivermectin.” (5 min, 30 sec) They knew about Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine. They hid them from you, lied about them and produced propaganda to make sure you remained out of the loop. Think that thru. Think of the level of corruption to deny ivermectin so they could sell your extorted government a toxic (even deadly) injection instead.
