To a great extent, the world in which we live today was freed from the superstition and bigotry of the Middle Ages by Galileo Galilei. Some of the others were Leonardo Da Vinci who preceded him, and Isaac Newton who succeeded him. This article is an account of some of Galileo’s achievements.
Galileo Galilei was born to a distinguished family at Pisa in Italy in 1564, and commenced his studies at the University of Pisa aged nineteen years. In accordance with Italian custom he is referred to by his first name Galileo

I love the Bee. Babylon Bee is just so on the money every single time..... this is 30 odd minutes that you will not regret investing.
Babylon Bee is a great site for satire and so much of the genius is down to Ethan Nicolle.
I have no idea why they " let him go " but such is the world these days. It is hard to understand anything. That being said, here is some afternoon entertainment for you all.
I read on social media today about a woman mourning the passing of her dog. I, of all people, know the pain associated with the loss of our fur babies. She expressed deep sadness at having to put her darling down. But this is where it just gets sinister, stupid and so distressing.
She had taken her " darling " to the vet to get tested for Covid and the test was positive. So she told the vet to kill her " beloved because it was a life or death situation for mommy "
God, give me strength to endure this insanity! This moronic hysteria!
While NZ Pastor Carl Bromley was out his Christchurch home was burgled. You will never guess who it was that broke into his home, messed it up and stole from him.
He came home to a burglary. His office was smashed up, his personal stuff was gone through and his firearms and ammo were taken from him a NZ Gun Owner and licence holder.
He called 111 Emergency and made a report. He then checked his calls. Guess who did it? A message was left – It was the NZ Police! He posted on social media
We seem to have a pandemic of the vaccinated since official data reveals “91% of covid-19 deaths have been among the fully vaccinated since August.” Still, health officials act as if the jab is the answer (along with masks and lockdowns) when it is now the cause of our health problems.
Do you miss John Wayne or Clint Eastwood riding into town and saving the day? Remember when the good guys won and the baddies lost and you would cheer at the end of the movie and consider it pocket money well spent?
Do you remember when going to a movie was fun and you didn't even realise that you had learned something while eating jaffas and hanging out with your mates? Remember that?

What do I say? My son trapped in a room in a quarantine hotel in New Zealand and saying " Hopefully I will be free tomorrow" Because he came to see me in Australia and wants to go home and he was hoping to be free tomorrow and allowed to go home. And it is costing him $400 a day. Tested 5 times. All negative.

" We swear to stand by the Southern Cross to stand by one another and fight to defend our rights and liberties. "
Well, we have not really upheld that oath as a Nation, have we?
The price of energy from all sources conventional is exploding globally. Far from accidental, it is a well-orchestrated plan to collapse the industrial world economy that has already been weakened dramatically by almost two years of ridiculous covid quarantine and related measures.
When I made the decision to keep the Christmas season free of politics, little did I know how difficult that would be.
I never acknowledged or accepted that politics is part of our lives these days and to not talk about it is like suggesting that the weather won't happen until the New Year. It ain't gonna happen.

Samuel Pepys is probably the most famous diarist in history and his words are treasured throughout the English speaking world. A politician from the 1600's, he captured the spirit and soul of Britain in those days of an era we no longer recognise.
