Canada Day is coming, and what better way to celebrate than with a luxurious stay at @TrumpToronto or @TrumpVancouver! Enjoy! #TrumpHotels

@CaitrionaPerry has a perfect ass, like you've never seen before in your life. Best reporter ever, a credit to her profession. Very, very welcome in my office! Can't get over that beautiful Irish press.

Newly placed 10 Commandments statue at Ark. State Capitol destroyed, man arrested

According to CBS affiliate 5NEWS, Reed has a history of similar behavior, destroying a Ten Commandments monument in Oklahoma. He was charged with destruction of state property or improvements, indecent exposure, making threatening statements, reckless driving and operating a vehicle with a revoked license back in 2014.

In 2015, Tulsa World reported that Reed stated his psychotic break was inspired by a Dracula film and that Michael Jackson's spirit was living inside meat. He also believed he was "the incarnation of an occult leader" and attempted to contact "Lucifer's high priestess he called Gwyneth Paltrow."

It all makes sense now! Gwyn*th P*ltrow is working for the almighty S*tan! Her steam-cleaned v*gina enhances her powers as a SUCCubus!

Them liebruls will stoop to any low in order to deny G_d and bring about the end of the world! They'll destroy priceless monuments just like ISIS!

Michael Jackson's spirit was living inside meat.

But of course! MJ is the patron saint of grape juice and man meat.

Are you ready to Praise Kek yet?

This is what some people really believe:

If EMdrive is real and scales with Q factor then we get almost Star Trek level Technology (or Stargate Atlantis, going by the picture)

An EM-Drive with a q factor of 3 billion would need required is 20 MWe for the 1 gee acceleration spacecraft. 20 MWe is more than any reactor ever orbited but well within known design parameters.

An EM-Drive with a q factor of 30 billion would need required is 2 MWe for the 1 gee acceleration spacecraft.

An EM-Drive with a q factor of 60 billion would need required is 1 MWe for the 1 gee acceleration spacecraft.

An EM-Drive with a q factor of 300 billion would need required is 200 KWe for the 1 gee acceleration spacecraft.

For 30 to 300 billion q factors the power levels for a 1000 ton vehicle drop to the level where, you could use solar power for Emdrive to counter gravity on earth. It would be virtual anti-gravity. Structures that would be possible would not just be flying cars or floating antigravity but flying cities.

Gee = G.

Even the millinewtons of thrust being measured currently are disputed.

I won't say that EmDrive won't kill thermodynamics, because the expansion of the universe is apparently accelerating. Maybe that is an energy source that is being tapped into by the magic thruster. In which case turning on enough EmDrives would save the Universe by preventing the Big Freeze/Rip.

Earth being unusually dry for a habitable world would be a Fermi Paradox soft landing

1. The Fermi Paradox is still a thing.
2. Many Earth-sized planets may be completely covered in water, with no surface land whatsoever.
3. If there are life forms on these planets, they would be unable to develop technologically even if they were intelligent. No metallurgy, no electromagnetic communications, no spacecraft.
4. We can land boats onto the water worlds and dominate the fishy lifeforms.

I'm still locked out of my @POTUS account so I'm tweeting this here.

On behalf of the American people, Melania and I send our warm greetings to Muslims as they celebrate Eid al-Fitr.

Muslims in the United States joined those around the world during the holy month of Ramadan to focus on acts of faith and charity. Now, as they commemorate Eid with family and friends, they carry on the tradition of helping neighbors and breaking bread with people from all walks of life.

During this holiday, we are reminded of the importance of mercy, compassion, and goodwill. With Muslims around the world, the United States renews our commitment to honor these values.

Eid Mubarak.

UFO researcher says new documentary exposes ‘what the secret agenda has been’

Even within the much-maligned and widely misunderstood field of “UFOlogy,” Steven Greer is a divisive figure.

His affinity for the spotlight and his willingness to dive deep into areas of the subject where other UFO researchers fear to tread have painted him with a broader target for contention than many of his contemporaries. He is at it once again with the recent book-and-film combo Unacknowledged: An Exposé of the Greatest Secret in Human History — the compelling documentary half of which will receive its Toronto premiere coupled with a Q&A with Greer this Saturday. The event is open to non-conference attendees as part of the three-day Alien Cosmic Expo UFO symposium taking place over the weekend at the Airport Crowne Plaza Hotel.

Greer is not easing off. As he puts it, Unacknowledged — the book and the film, the latter directed by first-time documentarian Michael Mazzola — “really take people from zero to 100 quickly.”
