The day the Constitution was ratified

Readers!

The time has come for my annual short Thanksgiving/Christmas fund drive for Behind The Black. I must do this every year in order to make sure I have earned enough money to pay my bills.

For this two-week campaign, I am offering a special deal to encourage donations. Donations of $200 will get a free autographed copy of the new paperback edition of Genesis: The Story of Apollo 8, while donations of $250 will get a free autographed copy of the new hardback edition. If you desire a copy, make sure you provide me your address with your donation.

As I noted in July, the support of my readers through the years has given me the freedom and ability to analyze objectively the ongoing renaissance in space, as well as the cultural changes -- for good or ill -- that are happening across America. Fourteen years ago I wrote that SLS and Orion were a bad ideas, a waste of money, would be years behind schedule, and better replaced by commercial private enterprise. Only now does it appear that Washington might finally recognize this reality.

In 2020 when the world panicked over COVID I wrote that the panic was unnecessary, that the virus was apparently simply a variation of the flu, that masks were not simply pointless but if worn incorrectly were a health threat, that the lockdowns were a disaster and did nothing to stop the spread of COVID. Only in the past year have some of our so-called experts in the health field have begun to recognize these facts.

Your help allows me to do this kind of intelligent analysis. I take no advertising or sponsors, so my reporting isn't influenced by donations by established space or drug companies. Instead, I rely entirely on donations and subscriptions from my readers, which gives me the freedom to write what I think, unencumbered by outside influences.

Please consider supporting my work here at Behind the Black. You can support me either by giving a one-time contribution or a regular subscription. There are four ways of doing so:

1. Zelle: This is the only internet method that charges no fees. All you have to do is use the Zelle link at your internet bank and give my name and email address (zimmerman at nasw dot org). What you donate is what I get.

2. Patreon: Go to my website there and pick one of five monthly subscription amounts, or by making a one-time donation.

3. A Paypal Donation or subscription:

4. Donate by check, payable to Robert Zimmerman and mailed to

An evening pause: As today is the day in which our Founding Fathers ratified the Constitution, I thought it might be worthwhile to allow Andrew Klavan the opportunity to give us his “A Young Person’s Guide to the United States Constitution.” To quote: We are going to have a little civics lesson, to make up for what you’ve been learning in school.

ON FATHERS DAY: A NEW PARADIGM OR DEATH NELL?
(Is this what the Founders imagined?)

Now this is a story I found in the New York Post about a man, Ari Nagel, math professor. Thats his hook I suppose, he is good at math and that may actually mean something because humans and abstract thinking like in mathematics is, boiled down, what distinguishes humans from all other known forms of life. And to add to his qualifications he is white, he is not a bad looking guy and he is a willing donator.

https://nypost.com/2019/06/15/the-sperminators-50th-baby-mama-is-a-homeless-18-year-old-from-the-bronx/

So this guy freely donates his seed to any woman that desires it. What I suppose they believe is because of his potential and superior biological contribution. This particular story is about an 18 year old woman who lives in a homeless shelter who wants a baby and who is presently pregnant due to this mans free donation.

The 18 year old pregnant young lady has a girlfriend that also lives in another homeless shelter, your getting the picture here aren’t you. Neither of these ladies has any means to support a child, not to mention no ability to provide much of anything else besides love. And so you are getting my point here, everyone reading this story and most other people who are unaware of this story will be footing the bill for ALL of this young lady and her soon to arrive, hopefully genius level baby.

This is my question: Is this a new paradigm in human civilization and evolution or is this the death nell for humanity, America specifically?

There is a generation that has grown to expect that these basic needs will be provided for them. (Is that really a true statement and commentary on todays youth or is this an anomaly?) This young lady is making strategic life decisions based upon her 18 year old needs for relevance I suppose and will have most all of her rent, food, communications and transportation paid for through “progressive” political policy and mandate by “Others” (You and I through taxation will be paying for it all without much to say about any of it).

Now this baby may well grow up to be the one human who will make a difference to all humanity, or not. And this math professor who is fulfilling his need to spread his seed without much thought as to financial responsibility or nurturing his offspring is also a very interesting element and aspect to this story.

A customer just wished me a happy fathers day, this story kind of gives a new meaning to the day. Maybe that is the way to go? Why worry about the mundane survival basics, just “Do it”!
