BLUE MICROMOON TONIGHT!

This is Saturday, May 30, 2026, day #150 of the year.  Some historic events on this day. 1431  19-year old Joan of Arc is burned at the stake. Why?  Heresy and cross-dressing. She was an example of efforts being made by the English to undermine the legitimacy of French King Charles. Twenty years later, the verdict was nullified by the Catholic Church, declaring her to instead be a matryr and saint. 1806  Future U.S. President Andrew Jackson kills Charles Dickinson in a duel. 1868  Decoration Day is observed in the U.S. for the first time...became Memorial Day.  This happened only in 1967 when Congress passed the Uniform Monday Holiday Act, moving this day from May 30 to the last Monday in May to create a 3-day weekend. 1899  Pearl Hart, a female outlaw of the Old West, robs a stage coach 30 miles southeast of Globe, Arizona.

ULTIMATE CURES FOR CHOLESTEROL AND CANCER?

As I begin this posting, I look to my right and see.....a rainbow. Next, the Iran War: Yesterday, President Donald Trump warned Oman not to work with Iran to jointly manage the Strait of Hormuz . Oman has been a close strategic partner of the U.S. for 50 years, and has been involved in peacemaking. That article hinted that Trump was confused, as he has been recently, and misspoke in even mentioning Oman. As you can see, Iran and Oman are the two countries through which the strait passes, so a cooperative agreement actually makes a lot of sense. The strait is only 21 miles wide at the choke point, and you can see Iran from Oman. Yesterday, again, the U.S. struck Iran's Bandar Abbas.
