Safe, Clean, Cheap, Efficient, and Almost Unlimited Nuclear Power
According to Henry Tillman, CEO of Aiyana Advisory and Research, interviewed by Norwegian political science Professor Glenn Diesen on April 23, China is ten years ahead of the rest of the world in the revolutionary development of thorium as nuclear fuel. China has just made history by activating the world’s first thorium-fueled commercial nuclear reactor in its Manchurian Gobi Desert. According to Engineerine.com, this is a major breakthrough in producing safe, sustainable, and efficient nuclear energy—25 times more efficient according to Tillman. Unlike conventional uranium reactors, this thorium molten salt reactor (MSR) is meltdown-proof and produces minimal long-lived radioactive waste. Thorium is much more abundant than uranium and much safer than uranium. Moreover, it is very clean-burning (98%) and much superior to fossil fuels and uranium-based nuclear fuel in its minimal environmental impact. The Chinese claim Thorium nuclear power will give them 60,000 years of sustainable cheap energy.

What Do You Believe about God?
What do you believe about God? How do we know about God? Some people reject the existence of God and even the concept of God. Many hold that the existence of God is self-evident. A courageous and brilliant Chinese friend once told me that his academic professors in China categorically rejected the existence of God, but in dormitory discussions their students came to the conclusion by observing nature, humanity, and their own experiences and knowledge that there had to be a God and were eager to find out more, which was fortunately available to them through forbidden but available sources. They wanted to know the nature of God and found God through Scripture, radio, and secret contacts and discussions at considerable risk to themselves and contacts.

Ignorance is Not Strength
You may notice below that I have not listed ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, MSNBC, NPR, nor even Fox News as reliable sources of information on the Ukraine War. All of these as well as newspapers and magazines, such as the Washington Post, the New York Times, the Charlotte Observer, the Raleigh News and Observer, the Asheville Citizen Citizen-Times, and thousands of others have been ignorantly following and promoting a false propaganda narrative on the origin and conduct of the Ukraine War.
Measuring the Risks of the Trump Tariff Strategy

An Important Warning from Thomas Sowell
A month ago, on March 4, I published an article in the Times Examiner, entitled, “Cautionary Tales of American Tariff History.” This was in response to President Trump’s announced use of tariffs to negotiate corrections to unfair and abusive trade practices that have been foisted on the American government, economy, and our people for decades by dozens of our trading partners, some of which we consider potential enemies, but many of which have been otherwise strong military and political allies. I agree that it is a priority to correct these problems and with Trump that temporary imposition of reciprocal (or retaliatory) tariffs might be useful in negotiating fair and balanced trade. I have also always strongly agreed that critical defense industries must be protected. We do not want to be dependent on imports for national defense. Trump is also correct that a great nation must be a nation with a strong manufacturing sector that makes things rather than just shuffling financial paper.

Understanding Jihad and the Teachings of Muhammad
At dawn on Saturday, October 7, 2023, Israeli time, according to the Israeli Defense Force (IDF), more than 2,200 modern rockets were launched from the Palestinian Gaza strip along the Mediterranean Sea targeting civilian and military targets in Israel. This was followed by over 2,500 Hamas infantry infiltrating into nearby civilian areas and slaughtering men, women, and children on the streets, at public events, and in their homes. They also took an estimated 251 hostages. Eight hostages are known to have died during Hamas captivity. Approximately 219 were released by stages in a cease-fire prisoner exchange, and 24 known hostages are still to be released. The Jewish Telegraphic Agency, however, believes Hamas is still holding 35 dead hostages, which would make the hostage total 286 to begin with.
