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


Democrats decimated in Louisiana election

Good news? In state elections in Louisiana this past weekend the Democratic Party experienced losses across the board, with Republicans also gaining a veto-proof majority in the state senate.

Among statewide office-holders, the incumbent GOP Lieutenant Governor (68 percent), Attorney General (66 percent), Treasurer (60 percent, and Agricultural Commissioner (58 percent) were all re-elected without the need for a run-off, under the state’s ‘jungle primary’-style system. It also appears that the solid Republican majorities in both state legislative chambers will remain intact — with the GOP expanding its Senate advantage into super-majority territory by picking up a pair of Democratic seats:

And the two elections that are going to a run-off, the governor and secretary of state, both appear likely to go Republican as well.

This is what needs to happen nationwide. The Democratic Party needs to be decimated everywhere, in order to allow a new crop of sane Democrats to retake that party from the far-left power-hungry and anti-American radicals that now control it.

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.

    This may be (I hate to say it as such) a global reaction of people from every nation where global doctrine has permeated.

    There is little doubt in my mind that Trump’s rally down there, had a very positive affect. Western Canada did the same thing. We will see what Oct. 21 brings in giving Trudeau the boot.

    New Mexico has loads of republicans in our area, but the big cities in the north dominate the vote.

    The dims have little choice but to attack Trump as he is the one leading the charge into cleaning the corruption that has run rampant in the democrat party. Rudy G. has indicated he has much more dirt on the dims that he is waiting to divulge.

    Voters in every country have their hopes set with Trump; flawed as he is. Just look at Hong Kong. Folk who have fled any of the dictatorial regimes tend to be of a conservative bent. Were we talking to an in-law who came from Saudi Arabia. She wore a “Make Trudeau A Drama Teacher Again” hat. Need on say more?

    I thought that 2016 would be that “trip to the woodshed” for the Dems. At this point, I don’t know that they’ll learn anything from yet another massive loss.

    The current new crop in Washington is even more insane than the old crop. The Democratic party is getting worse — not better — as the younger generations come in. This could be due to the leftist teachings of the government-run school systems across the country.

    The Democrats don’t need the new crop; they need the 1990 Democrats. They were wrong, but they were still sane. Better yet, they need John Kennedies. At least he understood how an economic system works. Instead, they have Ted Kennedies. They commit terrible crimes yet expect to — and do — get away with them, scot-free.

    The Republicans have moved so far left, however, that even Donald Trump, who rules similar to Bill Clinton, seems like a conservative to most. This has allowed the Democrats to make their move to the far left. Or maybe it forced them left, just so that they could distinguish themselves from the Republican Party. Either way, if the two parties do not move back toward the right, then we are all doomed — just like California, Venezuela, and the Soviet Union.

    Edward, my wife thinks this extreme left movement was calculated to get the right to move as you have noted! For democracy to work properly, there needs to be at least two parties of sane people. Obviously, sanity has been the victim of the democrats: especially the current new crop!

  • Diane Wilson

    Two sane parties, yes, but back in those days, the grousing used to be that there wasn’t a nickel’s worth of difference between them. But what they had in common was that they both cared deeply about this country.
