Life was a miracle, religiously and scientifically.  Well, there are no miracles in science, although a case can be made that evolution of initial life was so ridiculously low that this is on par with the Big Bang as miracles, for this latter event began with a  singularity , a mathematical condition without explanation.  Then gain, science is always in question, and  there are those who think not . On the other hand, all life does come to an end.   Read this article . Again though, maybe not, for some religions believe in something like Heaven forever, and even  some astrophysicists think what is out there will be there forever. I was inspired to today post on death mostly because of the  nitrogen execution this week in Alabama  of Eugene Kenneth Smith, 58, the first of its kind in the U.S.  By the way, what do you know about  nitrogen ?

You might have seen the 2008 film  Valkyrie , with Tom Cruise as Stauffenberg.  They looked alike. All attempts failed.  Stauffenberg was execute...

BREAKING NEWS!!!  Nine months ago, after a court case, Donald Trump, 77, paid $5 million to E. Jean Carroll, 80, who accused him in 2019 of sexually abusing her in 1996.  He continued to defame her, so she sued again, but for only $24 million more.  However, in a judgement just announced, the jury of 9  penalized Trump another $83.3 million  for his big mouth, fat fingers and deplorable actions.   One beginning editorial:  I can't understand why Trump only strengthens the link with his MAGA group, while alienating the margin of difference (those Republicans and Independents who are solid American citizens) the group that will make the difference in determining the next U.S. president.  Surely he understands, and his close supporters too, that blasting out as he does like an uncontrolled loudmouth on autocracy, misogyny and other hot topics, is no way to swing those key voters to support him.  My only presumption is that he is  menta...
