The Winter Solstice, which occurs around December 21st or 22nd in the Northern Hemisphere, marks the shortest day and longest night of the year. This event happens when the Earth's axial tilt is farthest away from the Sun, and the Sun reaches its lowest maximum elevation in the sky. Key Points About the Winter Solstice: Astronomical Significance: It marks the start of astronomical winter in the Northern Hemisphere and astronomical summer in the Southern Hemisphere. After the solstice, daylight gradually increases until the Summer Solstice in June. Cultural Celebrations: Many cultures celebrate the Winter Solstice with festivals and rituals symbolizing rebirth and the return of the Sun. Examples include: Yule: A Pagan festival honoring the Sun's return. Dongzhi Festival: Celebrated in East Asia, focusing on family reunions and eating warming foods like dumplings. Inti Raymi: In Inca tradition, though celebrated in June in the Southern Hemisphere, it reflects similar reverence for the Sun. Astronomy Behind It: It happens when the Sun is directly over the Tropic of Capricorn (23.5° South latitude). Earth's axial tilt (23.5°) and orbit around the Sun cause the variation in daylight hours throughout the year. Symbolism: It represents hope, renewal, and the promise of longer days ahead, aligning with themes of light overcoming darkness. Would you like information on how it's celebrated in a specific culture or region? In the Southern Hemisphere, the Winter Solstice for the Northern Hemisphere corresponds to the Summer Solstice, which typically falls around December 21st or 22nd. This marks the longest day and shortest night of the year for those living south of the equator. Key Points About the Summer Solstice in the Southern Hemisphere: Astronomical Significance: It marks the beginning of astronomical summer in the Southern Hemisphere. The Sun is directly overhead at the Tropic of Capricorn (23.5° South latitude). Daylight: Locations close to the poles, such as Antarctica, experience 24-hour daylight during this time (a phenomenon known as the Midnight Sun). Countries like Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, and parts of South America enjoy longer days and warmer weather. Cultural Celebrations: Many cultures and traditions in the Southern Hemisphere celebrate the summer season rather than the solstice itself. Examples include: Christmas in summer: In Australia and New Zealand, Christmas is celebrated during the height of summer, often with beach outings, barbecues, and outdoor festivities. Indigenous communities may have unique ceremonies or observances connected to the Sun and the changing seasons. Weather Patterns: The solstice often aligns with peak summer temperatures in many regions. However, in areas like the southern tip of South America, weather may still feel relatively cool due to latitude.

TEAMSTER PRESIDENT BLASTS THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY "In a dramatic change in tone, the union’s president Sean O’Brien slammed the Democratic Party, saying they’ve 'fucked us over for the last 40 years' after Kamala Harris failed to win the union's endorsement. O’Brien also accused the Democratic Party of being 'bought and paid for by Big Tech,' as internal polls show 60 percent of Teamsters members supporting Trump." An administration or political movement has to be particularly terrible to change a status quo political climate. That's what the tyranny of the far-Left Marxist goose-steppers have done to the Democrat Party. They have "fundamentally transformed" it away from the point where it has any appeal but to the most radical of intolerant narcissists. When the Teamsters, first, show up to the GOP convention to tacitly celebrate their concern for the working man and, second, refuse to endorse the Democrat candidate, the litmus test of radical stupidity has been verified. That both the Teamsters and the Firefighters Union have shunned Harris, should be a wake-up call for the radical Left. They weren't as close to the destruction goal line for the United States as they thought they were. I sense a huge and vicious backlash coming for the arrogant, ridiculously radical neo-Marxist Left. And that intolerant totalitarian mindset deserves every bit of it. https://substack.com/@franksalvato/note/c-72034470 #Teamsters #Unions #Democrats #DNC #KamalaHarris #Election2024 #Politics #UndergroundUSA

It is hard to comprehend how people can't see the underlying attempts of the current administration to break up unions by implementing political division within its ranks making the numbers smaller and smaller. Its fucked up and this is a very good example of this implementation. They are willing to rape you even more and more before they leave office. Fuck these assholes. They are destroying unions just right after people were starting to see some of the benefits of unionizing people to each other rather than the crooked fucking pencil pushers that we know exist.

AFTER OVERWHELMING PRO-TRUMP POLLING, TEAMSTERS WILL NOT ENDORSE ANY CANDIDATE "The Teamsters announced on Wednesday they will not endorse any candidate for president after a shocking internal poll found that more than half of Teamsters members back former President Donald Trump in the upcoming election. One of the largest unions in the country which endorsed Joe Biden in the 2020 election, the Teamsters found that 58% of members polled back Trump vs. 31% for Harris..." This decline to endorse ain't beanbag. It's a big deal: a positive for Trump and a disastrous negative for Harris and the Democrats. It will impact not only the presidential race but also the down-ticket races, especially for Democratic incumbents. This should mark the official validation that the GOP has usurped the Democrat Party as the party of the working man. https://substack.com/profile/129788551-frank-salvato/note/c-69622734 #Teamsters #AFLCIO #Unions #Harris #Trump #Democrats #GOP #Election2024

A Federal law enforcement agent are saying that the New York State National Guard @NationalGuardNY has started staging guardsmen in hotels around the NYC courthouse where President Trump is going to be sentenced on September 18th, as they are expecting that Trump will be taken in to custody and sent directly to Rikers Island by Judge Juan Merchan. Source says the National Guard is being staged there because the Mayor of NYC @ericadamsfornyc and the Governor of New York @GovKathyHochul both believe the police unions are preparing to stage a mass “out sick” day in support of President Trump on September 18th because none of the officers want to be involved in the persecution of Donald Trump.

—GERMANOPHOBIA／ANTIGERMANISM: EXPOSING ANTI-GERMAN RACISTS. COMMENTS MADE BY GERMANOPHOBES AND TEUTOPHOBES (PART 1)— Some people don't understand that a country is inhabited by people belonging to the same ethnicity/race, who speak the same language, share the same culture, history and past, who eat the same typical, traditional, regional, national food and have the same customs, traditions and beliefs (today the ethnic peoples of #Europe are disappearing due to mass and uncontrolled #migration, #miscegenation, crossbreeding, #multiculturalism, racial and sexual #diversity, #homosexuality, the destruction of values and principles, forced #inclusion, same-sex unions —endorsed by the state and the Catholic church—, homoparental adoptions, substitution and replacement of the traditional family, #abortion —consensual murder of unborn human beings—, etc.). What the hell do foreign invaders (migrants, #refugees, asylum seekers, expats, exiles, etc.) expect to see/find in countries where the majority of the population is homogeneous, has the same origin, the same idiosyncrasy and believes in the same "god"? People of the same race as them? Mosques, synagogues, Buddhist temples, Shinto temples, Hindu temples? People who speak the same language as them? The same laws as in their home countries? Customs, traditions, beliefs and typical food of their home countries? They're NOT in their fucking shithole countries, they're in THE COUNTRY OF THE GERMAN PEOPLE! They should know that if they come to #Germany, they'll be surrounded by millions of Germans who OBVIOUSLY speak #German, who eat pork (pork-chops), potatoes and sausages, who drink beer, who love football, German cars and German women, who have similar physical features (due to our race) as well as similar or the same behaviors/attitudes/characteristics/traits typical of our nationality and culture. If you hate Germans so much, why the hell are you living in Germany? Stay in your home country so you don't miss your language, cuisine, laws, customs and traditions or move to a country that is similar to yours. Germany was NOT founded and developed by my ancestors for a horde of anti-German racists from the third world to come and tell us that we're "nosy", that we're "terrible drivers", that our food "sucks", that our language is the "worst sounding language in the world", that older German women shouldn't dye their hair (I remind you that older women in your countries dye their hair blonde, wear blue contact lenses and lighten their skin to "look" like older German/European women), that our rules, policies and laws are "ridiculous" and that we're "racist". Would you say the same if your country was invaded every single day by thousands of Africans, Middle Easterners and South Americans? If your culture, customs, traditions and beliefs were replaced with the "culture", customs, traditions and beliefs of people who hate your country and it population? If you had to deal on a daily basis with foreigners who insult you, beat you up and/or attack you just because you have a different skin colour? It's very easy to give your opinion and call us "racist" when you're not facing a population replacement ( #TheGreatReplacement ) and a planned genocide ( #WhiteGenocide ). On the other hand, I also think that the best Germans were killed in #WWI and #WWII, however, there are still Germans (descendants of those great men and women who died in both wars) who inherited not only their blood (lineage) but their character, willpower, mentality, courage, strength, dignity and pride and that we keep fighting despite having everything against us. I hope this Germanophobe has left Germany for good and never come back. We Germans don't need anything from invaders like him or any other.
