Watch tonight as the Waxing Moon teams up with Jupiter and Saturn in the sky

You don't need to seek out exceptional dark skies to view every event astronomical event this season. Tonight and Friday night, you can witness a celestial trio crossing the sky.
After sunset tonight, pause for a moment in whatever you're doing to take in the night sky. If your skies are clear, or there are some breaks in the clouds, you may spot bright Venus off towards the western horizon, but the real 'stars' of the show will be to the southeast.
Already high above the horizon as the Sun sets, the Waxing Gibbous Moon will be shining brightly, but it won't be alone. Off to either side of it, two other bright points will be visible. These aren't stars, though. Instead, they're the two largest planets in our solar system — Jupiter and Saturn.
The Moon and Jupiter are bright enough to be visible from pretty much anywhere, even from the most light-polluted streets of Canada's largest cities. Saturn, on the other hand, can be a bit more of a challenge. Since it is more distant than Jupiter, it doesn't shine as brightly. Thus, if you're looking up from an urban setting, give yourself a moment to see if you can spot it. Maybe even try gazing slightly off to one side to bring your more sensitive peripheral vision into play (a technique called "averted vision").
However, the farther away from city lights you are, the brighter this trio will be in the sky.
Cloud conditions will be the most significant factor in determining who will see this celestial trio tonight.
Don't worry, though! If you miss it on Thursday night, either due to your schedule or an overcast sky, try again on Friday night. Since the Moon rises later every night, it will be shifted over to the left of Jupiter as they cross the sky. However, the trio will likely still look just as spectacular.

Another thoughtful human being...
A 28-year-old who helps the elderly (before they pass away) to re-home their pets, has celebrated her 100th adoption.
Angela Rafuse was inspired to create her charity after her 85-year-old grandfather died, leaving his cat, Mackenzie, without a home. None of Angela’s relatives had capacity to take on the responsibility, so she decided to take in the calico cat herself.
After a bad break up, Angela moved home to live with her parents in Halifax, Nova Scotia, and began sharing the basement with the feline.
“I was processing the grief and heartbreak of a breakup and losing my grandfather, but the only options left were taking her to a shelter or me adopting her. I had to take her.”
Although Mackenzie became very grumpy and hissed a lot, Angela soon realized the cat was just scared. It eventually warmed to her new owner after lots of love and attention, inspiring the Canadian woman to start a new venture in 2021. Angela’s nonprofit, ‘My Grandfather’s Cat’, facilitates adoptions of dogs and cats belonging to seniors who are either terminally ill or wishing to enter a retirement home.
While Angela and the tabby lived in her parent’s basement for 18 months, she started posting videos on TikTok. Soon the duo grew a following of 656,000 people—and many commented about how their grandparent’s pets had to go into shelters after they passed. “It was like a divine intervention. I knew this is what I should do.” “We had 30k followers at that point and I thought ‘I can launch it on TikTok, as there were so many people in need’.”
Angela’s launch date was May 18, on her late grandfather’s birthday—and since then it has brought peace of mind to 100 pet owners. “It gives me so much purpose in life—and I have an amazing team of volunteers.” Most seniors are referred to My Grandfather’s Cat by care homes or shelters. They submit an application and the team then writes a profile to post on social media. They then interview people who might be interested, and find out who is a good fit—and the senior has the opportunity to interview the family, too.
“The senior then picks their pet’s second forever home—and the adoptees can stay in touch with the new owner who will share updates.”
One case Angela will never forget is when she helped a woman who had terminal cancer and underwent euthanasia. “We helped her find a new home for her cats, Koko and Lily, and she chose a lovely multi-generational home with two seniors, their daughter, and grandson. “She passed away knowing her best friends had the best home.” It was the last and most important thing on her to-do list.
What a great comfort and inspiration this would be to anyone with a pet!

The Koch brothers...
I saw a headline today about the Koch brothers and thought... didn't one of them die? Yes, David passed away in 2019 with his cause of death listed as cancer. Charles is alive and I believe there is/was a 3rd brother. Anyway, the story goes on to say they are the most powerful machine in conservative politics and currently switched gears and not supporting Trump with a NeverTrump effort to deny him the republican party nomination for 2024 presidential election.
Knowing this, would Trump launch his own political party for the upcoming presidential election and if so, would he have a chance against Ron DeSantis who appears to be focused on the White House as his next stop?

Your weekly dose of Donald... Christmas comes early.
You better be good, you better better not lie, you better be good, I'm telling you why, the IRS is coming to town!
There's so much excitement in the air. Holiday lights are up, snowbirds are here in Florida, traffic is snarled and the man who said he "Knows more than the IRS" is starting to sink into quicksand. Donald, don't thrash. It will only make your arms tired.
The House Ways and Means Committee voted to release former president Donald Trump’s tax returns this week.
The January 6 committee concluded and released a final report to the DOJ urging them to prosecute Trump for 17 things including inciting the insurrection.

Saying goodbye to the Deauville Hotel...
The Deauville Hotel on Miami Beach was built in the 1950's and the place for many famous moments in history.
When the Beatles came to Miami Beach, they stayed there and recorded the shows for Ed Sullivan TV show. President John F. Kennedy was there and celebrities such as Frank Sinatra, Tom Jones and Sammy Davis Jr. performed there.
It was time to go... The building was in violation of safety codes at a cost greater than it's value to renovate, so the owner hired a demolition team to level the structure.

Birth of Christ 2 days after Xmas (Maori Version)
See Christ is ALWAYS remembered on a Friday for it is his day of birth from the Maori Culture known as Ra Mere.
What Romans call the planet Veuns, Our Ancestors call it Mere aka Christ, ie star of CHrist.
For it is his Birth Star.
What if the so called planet venus was in fact a narrative in which the romans wanted to hide with stories of the goddess of love.
We all know the story about Christ's birth about a new star is born, and how 3 wise kings followed the star during Mary's pregnancy stages. That the star appeared when Christ appeared while in Her Womb. We all know this story like the back of our own hands.
We all know 3 wise kings followed this star to the stables in which Christ is born, and that it never faded in brightness. we all know he was being hunted and they were tracking him by His Star.
Im calling it what it is not what the Romans want you to call it.
Star of Christ
But why do I say its the 27th of Dec and not the 25th? because it falls on a Friday because Christ is born on Friday in fact it was specifically made for Christ so that our people never forget. The following image below shows you our 13 month Calender:
So, the dates that fall on the Friday; 6,13, 20 and 27 on every month so its both hard to miss and forget
Did you also know that Sunday was the first day of the week and thats why there was Sunday school?
Did you also know that February was the First month of the year?
See we were introduced Venus from the religious folk at that time, when we exchanged our history and translations were made to suit the english language and culture.
It is Called the Star of Mere to us, and still is, but most have forgotten this.
In Summary we celebrate Birth of Christ on 27th of Jan known as Ra Mere.
What if, though, it is Christ's true and original birth date?
Interesting fact did you know who used to be seated at the right hand of the Father?
Lucifer
Due to his acts he was obviously de throned, but the old city is still active to this day. Guess what his birth day is?
Friday the 6th of Sol. Heres the scary truth ppl frday used to be the day of Lucifer.
Thats the kind of status Lucifer had... I repeat HAD. Until he was replaced on the day of Christ's birth. Christ is the new Light Bringer. is the new Honored one of Friday and right hand of Father.

THE PARTY IS OVER (OR IS iT?); 2009 WE WERE ON THE BRINK
Excellent video on how the banking industry in U.S. near!y destroyed the U.S. economy and how much was initially hidden from the American people.
Will the greed and lack of oversight in the Republican party let it happen again?
