“For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first.  After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever.” – I Thessalonians 4:16-17

Albert Einstein
(1879-1955)

German-born theoretical physicist & Nobel laureate (theory of relativity), dies of an abdominal aortic aneurysm at 76

Biography: Albert Einstein was a German theoretical physicist, whose profound contributions to science made him one of the most renowned scientists in history. His theory of relativity and the famous equation E=mc^2 are landmarks in the field of physics.

Einstein’s pioneering work on the photoelectric effect earned him the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics and laid a key foundation for quantum theory. Notably, a poll conducted by Physics World named him the greatest physicist of all time.

Albert Einstein was born in 1879 in the German Empire. His parents, Hermann Einstein and Pauline Koch, were secular Ashkenazi Jews. The following year, the Einstein family relocated to Munich, where Hermann and his brother established an electrical equipment manufacturing company.

Einstein’s formal education began at a Catholic elementary school and continued at the Luitpold Gymnasium. After his father’s business failed, in 1894 the Einsteins moved to Italy. His talent for mathematics and physics was evident from a young age, with the youth avidly self-studying in these subjects.

Completing his secondary schooling in Aarau, Switzerland, he renounced his German citizenship in 1896 and enrolled at the Swiss Federal Polytechnic School in Zurich. It was there that he met his future wife, Mileva Marić. After graduating in 1900, he gained Swiss citizenship the following year.

Einstein commenced his professional career in 1902 when he took up a job at the Swiss Patent Office in Bern. While working here, he simultaneously conducted his own research. This dual engagement bore fruit in 1905 when he published four influential papers in the journal Annalen der Physik.

These papers, which included expositions on the photoelectric effect, Brownian motion, special relativity, and mass-energy equivalence, had a monumental impact on modern physics. Building on this success, in 1915, Einstein formulated the general theory of relativity, integrating gravitation with the principles of mechanics.

With a move to Berlin in 1914 to join the Prussian Academy of Sciences and the Humboldt University, he solidified his academic standing. The rise of Adolf Hitler in 1933, however, prompted Einstein, a Jewish intellectual, to remain in the United States during a visit. By 1940, he had accepted American citizenship.

Despite his achievements, later in his career Einstein pursued a unified field theory without success and expressed his dissatisfaction with the inherent randomness of quantum mechanics. During this period he frequently clashed with Niels Bohr over the Copenhagen interpretation, famously claiming that God “does not throw dice.”

In his personal life, Einstein had various complex relationships. He married Mileva Marić in 1903, with whom he had two sons, but they divorced in 1919. That same year, he married his cousin Elsa Löwenthal, and they stayed married until her death in 1936. His passion for music, especially for Mozart’s compositions, was a significant part of his life.

As the results of PDJT strategy become clear and the fruits start flowing, I see something else coming in the horizon:

I have long felt that PDJT could not alone save the USA. He has to have help. Yes we have > 81 million people behind PDJT, but we are not exerting power effectively. Most don’t even understand fully what is going on. In addition, the country is riddled with a highly metastatic cancer of traitors, seditionists, parasites, and enemies. There are too many well paid bad actors in every aspect of our government, and in corporate America.

There are too many ineffective citizens who are hopelessly dependent on handouts from government.

Thats what I thought and what discouraged me.

But much of this enemy activity from within is being paid for and supported: Soros doesn’t give money, he redirected our taxpayer money into seditious activity. China and Russia peddle influence. Lobbyists influence legislators. Many sources control information and education of our citizens. USAID, Grants, Woke, Green, Diversity, DEI, paid district attorneys and judges. CIA, FBI, TSA.

The good news: Much of this money is drying up. The laundering machines of Ukraine, USAID, Blue city fraud, protection rackets: That money is being rapidly cut off. Just like China is worried about having its oil cut off and told Iran to negotiate if good faith with PDJT — the paid grifters, wolves in sheep clothing, communists, MSM, Muslims — all will have their funding exposed and cut off.

This will force true american citizens to find the rewards of hard work, the Constitution, the Constitutional republic, the free market economy, and the American Dream.

Let us keep praying. God is Good.

They’re singing Trumps tune now!

Israel Update:

~After the Iranian Foreign Minister posted that “they are opening the Straits until the end of the ceasefire” (Wednesday), Trump followed with a series of posts on his social media platform:

• Iran agreed to give up enriched uranium.
• Iran agreed not to enrich and not to seek nuclear weapons.
• Iran agreed to open the Straits.
• Israel is to negotiate with the Lebanese government; the Hezbollah issue is to be resolved otherwise with U.S. help, and Israel must stop attacks on Hezbollah.
• The deal with Iran is not to be connected to the Lebanon issue.
• The blockade will remain as long as the deal is not finalized and implemented.
• The U.S. is not to pay Iran any cash.

In reality on the ground:

~The Strait is not fully open. Some ships passed, others were stopped. Out of the usual 100+ daily crossings, only low double digits went through, and it now appears they are blocking again. A Rumble video shows this (Indian ship: https://rumble.com/shorts/v78o22i).

~10-day ceasefire: Israel halted operations in Lebanon but remains in the south, holding a ~10 km security buffer zone along the border. Israel is replicating a “yellow line” policy there, meaning the ~55 villages in that zone are largely flattened and residents cannot return. Many are already heavily damaged. Areas between the buffer zone and the Litani River are less clear, and return there may still be possible.

~Post-ceasefire, an explosive device injured 6 IDF soldiers, some seriously. There was no response.

~There are large celebrations by Hezbollah and parts of the Shia population, with flags and public displays. They present this as a military victory. Israel currently has limited ability to act in most of Lebanon.

~Lebanon’s president is reportedly receiving serious threats from Hezbollah regarding any meeting with Netanyahu. This highlights Hezbollah’s dominance; agreements with the Lebanese government alone may lack practical weight.

~Netanyahu is losing support. The halt in Lebanon before decisive results, and the perception that the U.S. pressured Israel to stop, create an image of reduced Israeli control over its own security. Critics say commitments to northern residents will not be fulfilled, as Hezbollah may regroup. About 2,000 Hezbollah fighters were killed since the Iran conflict escalation, but the situation remains unresolved. The 10 km buffer reduces risks (raids, anti-tank fire) but is not a full solution. With elections approaching, political pressure is rising. Hamas and Hezbollah remain active, while U.S. pressure is seen as limiting further Israeli operations.

Iranian leadership statements:

Speaker of Parliament, Ghalibaf:

1. The U.S. president made seven claims — all false.
2. These claims did not win the war and will not succeed in negotiations.
3. If the blockade continues, the Strait will not remain open.
4. Passage will occur only via defined routes with Iran’s approval.
5. Control of the Strait is determined on the ground, not on social media.
6. Media narratives are part of the conflict, but Iran is not influenced by them.

Chairman of the Security Committee, Ebrahim Azizi:

• Iran warned previously.
• A new maritime order in the Strait will be enforced by Iran.
• Only merchant ships may pass, subject to military approval and designated routes.
• Passage may require payment of Iran’s “legal dues.”

~Iran is also questioning whether to continue negotiations scheduled for Monday in Pakistan.

Summary:
This appears to be negotiation positioning. Iran’s stance remains firm and confrontational. If the statements attributed to Trump do not materialize, the credibility impact could be significant.

Most Europeans don’t understand the size of countries in the Americas.
