The Total Solar Eclipse Is Coming Soon To America

A total solar eclipse occurs when the New Moon (the absence of the moon) comes between the Sun and Earth and casts the darkest part of its shadow, the umbra, on Earth. A full solar eclipse, known as totality, is almost as dark as night.  On August 21st 2017, the United States will witness this amazing phenomenon.  For about two and a half minutes day will fall to night, Nature will hold its breath, and the continental United States will witness a feat not seen for over 38 years. It’s going to be something; don’t miss it!

The total phase of this total solar eclipse will be visible from a narrow path spanning all across the USA from the West Coast to the East Coast , weather permitting. Continue reading

Why Aren’t White People Having Children Anymore?

It’s true.  Europeans aren’t having children anymore, at least not at replacement levels. White people, it seems, might soon be a thing of the past.  Whoopi Goldberg is pretty excited, are you?

“Replacement level fertility” is the total fertility rate—the average number of children born per woman—at which a population exactly replaces itself from one generation to the next, without migration. This rate is roughly 2.1 children per woman for most countries, although it may modestly vary with mortality rates. -World Resources Institute

As the Russian Federation President Vladimir Putin puts it, “White people are dying out”

Russian President Vladimir Putin listens to Greek President Prokopis Pavlopoulos during their meeting at the Novo-Ogaryovo residence outside Moscow, Russia, Friday, Jan. 15, 2016.

 

But the question is not if, but why. We already know that in just a few short years, White people will be a minority in almost every White country.  Some people are rejoicing at the fact that White people are dying out.  Others are literally thrilled about it. But should they be?  What if it was Japanese people, or Indians, Mexicans, or Blacks?  Would it still be acceptable? Continue reading
