Genesis cover

On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.

 

The print edition can be purchased at Amazon. from any other book seller, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.


The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
 

"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News


Boehner joins Democrats to support funding of Obama amnesty

Working for the Democratic Party: The Republican Speaker of the House John Boehner announced today that he has joined with the Democrats and will allow a vote on a funding bill for the Department of Homeland Security that also funds Obama’s illegal amnesty plan for illegal immigrants.

This flip-flop comes after months of Boehner saying he wouldn’t do this. “The House has acted. We’ve done our job. Senate Democrats are the ones putting us in this precarious position,” Boehner said on Fox News Sunday recently.

It’s unclear whether the vote will pass later on Tuesday, but if it does there are likely to be serious consequences against Boehner for having now flip-flopped into supporting Obama’s executive amnesty.

After this back-stab, I would not be shocked if the Republican caucus tears itself in two as its conservative half tries to get Boehner fired.

Update: The funding bill has passed, with almost 70% of House Republicans voting against it. With numbers like that, it is likely that John Boehner’s days as speaker are numbered. A majority of his own caucus is no longer willing to back him.

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. Four years ago, just before the 2020 election I wrote that Joe Biden's mental health was suspect. Only in this year has the propaganda mainstream media decided to recognize that basic fact.

 

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. Even today NASA and Congress refuse to 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.

    My God! I need TWO HANDS for the face-palm! WTF!!!

    I don’t think Amnesty will ever happen. There’s just too much money involved.
    An illegal coworker has told me that if he comes forward, it will change his fake citizenship status! They will know who he really is and that information will be conducted to his former birth country who legally owns him. At that point all of his money that he makes will be reported and subject to tax from his former country. Money wired to home could be confiscated and back taxes could be Levied.
    He has it good now and he will do nothing to jeopardize that, unless he files for full citizenship. He will first move his family here to avoid them being taken hostage.
    The money I spoke about is in relation to the donations paid by foreign nationals to our federal reserve. Foreign people are not required to pay US taxes. (illegal aliens) All monies paid in to the federal reserve on a bogus name or number is not given back, but goes into a donation box similar to the checkbox for political contributions at the top of the W-4 form. (ICE protection tax)
    That’s why there has been nothing but lip service paid to the illegal immigration problem for the past 30 years. The contributions are in excess of hundreds of billions of dollars that are not allocated or redistributed by any political office.
    A semi private corporation, The Federal Reserve, receives this payment for money laundering. (it is 100 years old this year and has never been audited) Taxes paid by noncitizens (undocumented) never make it to the general fund because it is not required to do so. (refunds on the other hand, come directly from the treasury)
    This includes employee matching, and unemployment insurance as well as the normal taxes.
    The sanctuary states are also in on the double book keeping. That’s why states with no income tax are not sanctuary states. There is no benefit.
    If you give Amnesty to all illegal aliens, you will be cutting off the money supply that funds our governments re-election committees and the advertisement cost for those elections. The fourth branch of government would no longer support the left or the right and without the news medias propaganda support the government will fall… Or be reborn.
    Amnesty will defund the political parties. Then the fight moves between the tea party (the people) and the corporations. Both national and international. Take a look around, is there a nation without reformation and dissent and rebellion? They’re saving the best for last… The rest of the world will get in line without firing a shot.

    The republican wing of the democratic party has spoken.

  • Cotour

    Lets see who and how many vote for it.

  • Cotour

    I did not see the update, the vote took place and the Republican leadership has joined with the Dems to pass the bill and empower the president and further his un Constitutional efforts.

    Now is the best time, if it can happen to get rid of Bohner rather than closer to the election.
